KOHLER Fables & Flowers

The Kohler Fables & Flowers design reflects 17th-century English botanical drawings, and features tulips in shades of red, pink and white on a crackled White background. The legend of the tulip encircles the rim of the countertop lavatory, countertop accessories and floor container.

KOHLER Peonies & Ivy

Peonies & Ivy was inspired by the resurgence of traditional Victorian floral imagery in today’s American decorating and gardening. Biscuit vitreous china is adorned with peony blossoms in shades of rose, cream and lavender intertwined with green ivy.

Here, the design adorns a Revival two-piece elongated toilet with peony blossoms in shades of rose, cream and lavender intertwined with green ivy.

Before you go to Iceland

David — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:16:02 +0000

With all this talk about the recent Iceland volcano eruption , I went to check out the place. Well, I mean i checked it out on the web. It seems like a pretty cool place to go if you like volcano, mountains, natural springs. I’m sure there is other stuff to do there as well. Iceland is also famous for their glaciers, hot pots and landscapes. And now they are famous for the volcanic eruptions. Hundreds of people in southern Iceland had to be evacuated as the Eyjafjallajokull‎ volcano erupted under a glacier.

I remember from school that Iceland is where the vikings were from. Or was that Greenland. Don’t for get the rule “Iceland is green and Greenland has ice”. That whats my 3rd grade teacher taught us.

One thing i noticed is that i could not find a hotel that had a bathtub in it. Maybe because of the lack of sapce, the houses do seem crowded there

Here is a bathroom from the Hotel Vik Arctic Comfort. This famous Iceland hotel is centrally located in the downtown area. It is walking distance from the famous Kringlan shopping center, and is only about 10 minutes away from Laugardalur.

Note, that there is no tub un this bathroom. Although, the shower enclosures i fairly modern looking. Im sure with a bit more help from a designer this bathroom could have passed for a modern masterpiece.

Hotel Vik Arctic Comfort

The Iceland Hotel Loftleidir located in a peaceful area in Reykjavik. The hotel boasts 220 rooms, considered large by standards Iceland and is only a 15 minute walk from the downtown center of Reykjavík.

The hotel boasts a luxurious pool and spa area.

And beautiful modern rooms.

Iceland Hotel Loftleidir

Hotel Plaza, Reykjavik

The Plaza Hotel in Iceland provides the comfort and the location to enjoy Iceland to the fullest. Situated in the city center of Reykjavik the Plaza creates the perfect setting for your stay in Iceland.

The Plaza boasts updated rooms and very modern bathrooms. The bathrooms include an above counter square sink. Modern faucets and modern vanities. The tiles are light and ad a nice warm color that makes it feel like there is more room and light.

I found these images on trip advisor. They were listed as images for the same Plaza hotel in Iceland.

I always wondered if images for hotels on the web are real. (Notice the shower stall. No bathtub ; )

Well I sure hope that the images above were put up by the wrong hotel. Anyone checkout the hotels web site and expects a bathroom like above and find one of these …

Is likely to explode and erupt. Remember Iceland is a beautiful country and you shoudl go check it out. Before you go to any hotel make sure to checkout the hotel really well.

Saniflo Upflush Toilets

David — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 14:35:08 +0000

Install a Toilet Anywhere You Want.

Installing a bathroom where you want is often difficult and sometimes even impossible. The main drainpipe is either too far away, or the new bathroom or sink will be lower than the drainpipe, making conventional installation unworkable. The Saniflo Sanitop up flush toilet is a system that is used to install a complete bathroom up to 12 feet below the sewer line, or even up to 120 feet away from a soil stack. It can handle the effluent from a toilet and sink.

A normal operating cycle for Sanitop takes about 10 – 15 seconds depending upon the discharge pipe run configuration; power consumption is therefore minimal. A non-return valve, which comes already assembled on the discharge elbow, prevents back flow into the unit. The design of this model consists of vibration absorbers which enable the reduction of operating sound by reducing the transmitted sounds from any location where such resonance transmission could occur. This new design reduces the operating sound of this pump by 10dB.

The Saniflo upflush toilet is simple to install; there are just four connections.

The macerator/pump is connected to the spigot of a horizontal rear discharge toilet.
The toilet tank is connected to the water supply.
The macerator/pump is connected to the small diameter discharge pipe work.
The macerator/pump is connected to the electrical supply.

The Sanitop has been certified to American and Canadian Standards.
