Self cleaning. I have heated floors in ours, it’s AMAZING in winter, well worth the money! The jaccuzzi tub motor burnt out after a few, infrequent uses over a couple years. Just after the warranty expired, of course.
We had a claw foot tub when I was in high school. I think it’s funny they’re coming back in style. I hated it. It was smaller than other tubs, had a spout you’d always hit your head or knee on, and cleaning under it was a huge pain. But enough time goes by that people forget, and a whole new generation of people who never actually had one can fall for the nostalgia, get their own and learn anew the pains that come with a claw foot tub. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
@katbyter The house I grew up in had one and having to have the shower curtain around all sides was a pain. The heat from the shower really caused that shower curtain to move around in the breeze caused by the temperature differential. On the upside, it was cast iron and held the heat nicely when taking a bath.
@katbyter Grew up with them and still love them. Everything that’s gone around, comes around. The stainless steel fridge and all has been here before only then, it was real stainless steel (you couldn’t put magnets on it). Waiting on the avocado and coppertone appliances to return.
Size. I have teeny bathroom with no counter or even anywhere to sit things when in there. Clean clothes either go in the, normally wet, sink or on the toilet with the seat down. (What a person is supposed to do with the clothes while they use said toilet is questionable)
We are putting heated floors and a heated towel rack in the master and guest bath as they get redone in the next year or two. Enlarging the master would be nice but not going to happen.
i’d essentially convert it to japanese standard – wet room, so that you wash outside of the bath, then soak in a deep tub. toilet in a separate cubicle, with the requisite washlet attachment.
Both my bathrooms are the same size, small… But because of where the door is, they could only put a 30" cabinet in the master. The other bath has a 60", single sink. I wish they were swapped around.
Things that I can actually fix:
I have a new cabinet sitting in my garage waiting to swap it out. I changed the countertop back when I was renting it and the landlord paid for it. Once I do that and paint the bathroom, I think I’ll enjoy it a lot more. I already have a step down shower. I wish everything wasn’t beige, but I don’t know if I’ll ever redo it because it’s a lot more modern than the age of the house already.
@Snshyn75 That’s a relatively easy DIY- they have kits.
That said, I need to re-do ours- it leaks now due to the settling of our logs [log home dwellers]
I have an original 1930 purple bathroom - hi @barney! You jelly?
The toilet, sink, and bathtub are purple. I had to buy a purple toilet seat as the old owners had a white one. It looked like a perfect match online, but when I got it, it was much more purple than the rest.
The sink and tub have some rust. I have to look into how to repair that.
I have a bulky pedestal sink so I can’t store much under it (and whatever I store is visible, no under-sink cabinet). So I have flimsy shelves over the toilet to make up for it, which is also annoying. Also I busted the stopper on the sink and the landlord just took the stopper out instead of replacing it, bleh. (Not that I fill the bathroom sink much, but still.)
The tile floor is just resting over older tiles, and a part of me would like to see what the older tiles are like and if I’d prefer them, but the current tiles are just fine aesthetically.
This is all in a pre-war (rent stabilized) rental, so no chance in hell it’ll be redone as long as I’m a tenant here. I hope to buy one day and thus get the ability to renovate but that’ll require a really significant change to the real estate market around here for me to afford it and/or a really significant change in my lifestyle for me to consider not living around here.
Automatic toilet paper loader if that existed. No one else in my house can figure out how to replace empty roll other than to maybe place the new roll on top of the empty or on the back of the toilet.
@Grumman perhaps if some of those responsible are underage you can forget how to drive your car to places they want to go? If older than that you can forget to know how to do something they want?
PUT IN A DECONTAMINATION UNIT WITH WATER PURIFICATION!!! YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL AFTER THE NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST OR ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!! SERIOUSLY, YOU DON’T WANT TO KISS YOUR WIFE OR SHAKE A FELLOW VAULT DWELLER’S HAND AFTER YOU TRACK IN WHAT CAME FROM OUTSIDE!!! AND STAY AWAY FROM THE SHAMBLERS!!! A WISE MAN DOESN’T DIP HIS PEN IN MUTATED INK!!!
Waterproof TV in the shower
Get rid of the clawfoot tub.
Everything!
Brand new house in the same spot!
@jst1ofknd In the footprint of your current bathroom
?
JK
Make it bigger. And put in another one since there is only one.
@lakertaylor13 Tardis bathroom?
Heated Floor.
It’s location. Say to a beach house on a private Caribbean island.
@Mehrocco_Mole Do you need a bathroom with the ocean is close by?
@hchavers Are you suggesting I take a crap on my beach? I think not. besides, it would be closer than the beach in the middle of the night.
6X8 Standing shower with multiple heads and jets!

Update the shower to one of those fancy frameless-glass ones with shower tower & body jets

@katbyter do the hipsters even own houses to put one of these ridiculous things in?

There is a sitting shower?
@unksol yeah you can buy them
Clean it!
I’d put in a toilet. The sink is getting filthy.
@Ignorant
Everything

@chellemonkey wall hooks.
Make it bigger
@2many2no Me too. My usual saying is that the bathroom is so small, you have to step outside to change your mind
@2many2no I agree. the size. Both of our full bathrooms are just 5 x 8.
@2many2no TWSS
Cleaning robots!
I’d get some of those actual scrubbing bubbles that go around with brushes and clean like on the commercials.

Moar bid-days!!!
Change/fix the lights.

I already have a clawfoot tub and I’d MUCH rather have a regular tub with jets
@MrMikenIkes claw foot are annoying

@RiotDemon You can put a lot of different colors with the beige tho to ‘pop’ it.
Walk-in tub. Hubby is a recent amputee. Add four extra feet of wheelchair maneuvering space.
@tngrannyd I imagine that would be a tough work around. My sympathies.
Shower door

@PhysAssist @Snshyn75 I just finished dropping a log in MY bathroom!
@therealjrn TMI
Everything about my 1970’s avocado green and gold bathroom.

@looseneck it’ll be hard to find a repair for purple.
I wonder how many gallons of water the toilet uses!
@looseneck The bathroom fixtures are actually purple? Wow, I’m living in the wrong decade (century?).
@RiotDemon It doesn’t seem to affect the water bill, but it’s definitely NOT low-flush.
@Barney I’ve got a picture somewhere but can’t find it right now. I’ll have to take another one.
@looseneck Yes, picture please! Don’t forget.
@Barney @riotdemon
@Barney @looseneck wow. That’s something. I might like it if it was the color of the seat. Lavender/pastels don’t do anything for me.
It appears that your faucet handles were installed incorrectly. Should be able to fix that pretty easily by taking the handles off.
@Barney @looseneck here’s a purple toilet that is easily affordable.
/youtube toilet candy sour flush candy plunger pop
@Barney @RiotDemon Yes. The irk me more than it should.
@Barney @RiotDemon um…who thought this would be a best-seller?
@Barney @looseneck there’s another one, let’s see if YouTube can find it.
/youtube Japanese toilet candy
Yeah. That’s the one. Liquid fizzy candy.
The handles either have a set screw or you just unscrew the base. Then lift up the handles and reorient them. Easy peasy.
@looseneck Love the purple. Is the tub a clawfoot? That would be so cool.
@RiotDemon I think I’ll take a pass on the candy. Who in the hell thinks of stuff like this? Why?
@Barney whaaat? You don’t want to lick powder off a plunger or drink foaming toilet water through a straw?
Live a little.
@RiotDemon Hahahaha! Nope.
@Barney No clawfoot but it is nice and deep. I can fill it with enough water to cover myself.
@looseneck My tub is deep, too, and I love it. It’s one of the nicest features of my featureless house.
Actually finish the install of the soaker tub that has been sitting in the master bath for too many months. The urge to DIY can be a curse.
Make it big enough to put a cat dirtbox in it.
A Complete Gut.
Make it 100% spider-proof.
@brumagem Just don’t think about the toilet snakes.
I have a bulky pedestal sink so I can’t store much under it (and whatever I store is visible, no under-sink cabinet). So I have flimsy shelves over the toilet to make up for it, which is also annoying. Also I busted the stopper on the sink and the landlord just took the stopper out instead of replacing it, bleh.

@Kawa I bet that toilet flushes like a jet engine. I’m jelly.
Automatic toilet paper loader if that existed. No one else in my house can figure out how to replace empty roll other than to maybe place the new roll on top of the empty or on the back of the toilet.
@Grumman perhaps if some of those responsible are underage you can forget how to drive your car to places they want to go? If older than that you can forget to know how to do something they want?
A quiet fan. The one I have is approaching leaf-blower levels of noise.
@TheFLP I thought part of the reason for the noisy fan was intentional… acoustically.
Storage. A medicine cabinet and a cabinet for towels and whatnots.
I’d fill up the counter with a bunch of the Coquelicots Ceramic Bath Ensemble
the size…
oh and we need another bathroom in the house too. How do I get those twins to come to my house and do it for free???
I have the largest shower in my current house that I have ever had. I still want it to be larger.
@parodymandotcom And it has nothing to do with me getting larger. Nope. Not at all.
