While fixture-shopping this afternoon, we came face to, well, wing with this offering...



Trust me, it's even more horrifying in person. And that's before you look at the price tag.


Somewhere, there's a crimson-walled, gold-tiled powder room that's crying out for that faucet.

I was about to say that it would fit in with an art deco theme, but after a second look, I take that back.

[lagilman]

No, that's clearly turn-of-the-century overkill.

[mtlawson.livejournal.com]

Yes, clearly it was some designer's swan song.

[lagilman]

we're ignoring you. just so's you know.

[mtlawson.livejournal.com]

That's good, because that's about the limit of my punditry.

I think I saw that advertised. And the first question was, "Why, oh God?"

Why do I feel this will end up on True Blood at some point, in the King of Mississippi's bathroom...

Oh, sweet zombie jaysus. That thing looks like it would have been at home in my mother's bathroom...

Circa 1972.

Why am I morally certain it is destined for an Italian-American family (but not mine, thank the goddess)

[lagilman]

I used to baby-sit for the family that would have fallen upon that with cries of gladness and glee. Yeah, there's a reason I never had to watch The Sopranos...

*headdesk* How much was it?

[lagilman]

Four figures. This is not for someone who believes in subtlety or sumptuary laws...

That's kind of epic.

[aringler.livejournal.com]

LOL...epic fail. I think I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing that.

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Wow! THat's horrible!

[jperceval.livejournal.com]

The faucets needs to be claws or something, to better match the spigot. But I think even Liberace is spinning in his grave screaming, "too tacky!"

Good God!
