And you're really really telling me that they decided the hallway from the front door was the right place for a bath? Even ignoring the stairs? My cynicism for photoshops says it's fake, but my cynicism for slumlords says maybe it's real.

Reading this thread reminded me to check our fire extinguisher tag dates... And I don't see any kind of date.  we have the rechargeable sort and the pressure reads correctly. Is that all I'm looking for? My previous ones have been the one time only sort.

A quick and easy way to check if your fire extinguisher is still good is by starting a small fire in your home and testing each of your units on the resulting blaze. For best results, use a stopwatch to ensure that your extinguisher is providing the promised duration of suppressant. please don't

Extinguishers aren't required in single or double family dwellings so they don't need to be inspected technically. It'll get inspected if it's ever discharged when it's refilled but as long as the seal is intact and the pressure gauge reads full you're good.

Thank you for assuaging fire extinguisher worries. Completely separate design (?) problem - when other people quote me in this thread my own text doesn't appear highlighted. I'm not having this problem in any other thread. Is anyone else having this issue? I'll mosey on down and tell the devs about it.

So we have, through necessity, designed ourselves into a big question mark. Redoing our bathroom, we had to get a giant mirror (two little girls who refuse to use step stools but also have to brush their teeth right next to each other, it's a thing). Our old one was just a contractor-grade frameless mirror, so that spot over the toilet was pretty unencumbered and we had a pretty large black-framed print there. For obvious reasons, a large black-frame print looks ridiculous there now. So we have no idea what WOULD look good. A circle? A collage of grey frames? A small shelf? We're open to just about anything that isn't words on the wall.

It's controversial, but I like artificial flowers in a bathroom.  They are bright and cheerful. When they get manky looking you just throw them out and get new ones. You can even rotate in special seasonal ones for Christmas, Easter, Halloween or whatever; that can be fun with kids.    I love this kinda tacky bullshit in a bathroom. I may secretly be a 6 year old girl though.

I built a small shelving unit when I had a bunch of open space above my toilet, and actually needed some storage for toiletries. Since I took this photo I've also begun stacking fresh rolls of TP on top of it.

we went with the "small cabinet" option as well. I consider it polite to have extra TP and bathroom cleaner / toilet brush in an obvious spot so guests can take care of ...problems without needing to alert anyone. I also have a small scented candle on it with lighter next to it.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure on the demographics of guests that might use the bathroom from time to time but it's nice to have a bit of a variety of pads/tampons and a bin with a lid, for those caught out moments.

Narrower than the top of the toilet and either centered on the mirror, or between the bottom of the mirror and the top of the light fixture. I wouldn't do a big shelf or cabinet because that could make an already tight, dark space seem more cluttered unless you're desperate form more storage. Candle-holders aren't a bad idea for bathrooms; you could get a wire one which would be light-weight visually but still fill the space.

I'll admit not even considering that a potential problem before. However there's never any splash at that height, and the things that aren't sealed I've always washed before use anyway. (Though I keep the brush by the sink now for ease of access.)

He said you shouldn't keep anything in a bathroom you're not fine having covered with a fine layer of poop mist. YMMV.

Once you drop the illusion that you live in a remotely sterile environment, life gets more bearable IMO. The question becomes "how clean does this need to be", not "is this clean". Because nothing is clean.
