Toiluxe: Art for your toilet

Posted by Kimberly Lawson on Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 3:09 PM

So ... there's a phantom in my office who leaves me random information on my desk. Earlier this week, I found a page torn out of a health magazine about getting healthier for free taped to my desk. I asked around to see who'd left it so I could thank them for being so considerate of my health and my wallet, but no one knew what I was talking about. I even texted my photographer friend whom I go to yoga with to see if she'd come by in the middle of the night to leave that for me (why she would, I don't know), but she hadn't.

Today, I found a press release for Toiluxe in my chair. The headline reads: Art You Didn't Know You Wanted.

From the release:

Toiluxe, brought to you by Boston area artist Stephanie Ziobro could possibly be the best thing to hit your bathroom since two-ply toilet paper. Realizing that the bathroom is the smallest yet easiest room in your place to decorate with eclectic flair, Toiluxe can custom design toilet seats to tickle the fancy of your fanny with artwork ranging from elegant to outrageous to anything your derriere desires.

Toiluxe is one of a kind “functional” art, using an original medium - toilet seats. Each seat is hand-painted and cured with an acrylic sealer to prevent water damage. Toilet seat mounting hardware is included, however feel free to mount this unique piece of art outside of the bathroom. Hang on your wall, over the peep hole of your door, where ever you see fit.

So, what do you think of this line? Is it the "best thing to hit your bathroom since two-ply toilet paper?" I personally love this product and demand someone buy me the toilet seat cover below. What a great way to add some color to my otherwise boring bathroom. Yes, it may be the room where business is taken care of, but hey, I like to be surrounded by pretty designs and colors. I've managed to add some brightness with a yellow rug and yellow towels, but THIS would really complete the look.

Flipping through the already available options, I see they even have a toilet seat with Ellen's face on it! How would you like to be greeted by that every morning? More importantly ladies, how would your man feel about being greeted by that every morning?

WHY would I leave it on your desk, you ask? MAYBEEE because you are cutting back yoga with ME to go to JAZZERCISE?!?! But you didn't hear that from me....nor I am the article phantom....but If I said I was, would you get back into tree posing with me more often? I need to know if I hit snooze on the alarm clock at 5:30 AM I will be standing up a dear, dear friend! :)
