Yup, it’s a rare Sunday post- just because we have an exciting bathroom update to share. I know we mentioned that we’ve had great luck with under-$100 American Standard toilets, but we’re eating those words. Why? Because we just discovered the most amazing toilet that we have ever heard of. It’s like the Jake Gyllenhaal of toilets. As in, there is nothing better. Feast your eyes on this sexpot:
I mean, who wouldn’t want a toilet with:
- a heated seat and heated foot blower
- ambient lighting (right in the bowl!)
- a motion activated lid and seat (it opens and closes for you)
- advanced bidet function
- built in speakers and a remote docking station for playing tunes
- an integrated air dryer (yes, it blows you dry down there)
- a touch screen remote (to control the entire thing like a giant robot)
Now, I know what you’re thinking. That toilet must cost millions, if not tens of thousands of dollars. But get this, it’s under 5K!
And we decided to spring for it! I mean, what’s the point of DIYing day in and day out without a little heated seat and air drying action to get you through the rough spots? This toilet is a guaranteed everyday morale boost. Because after a long day of painting or sledgehammering, how good does it sound to retreat to a heated toilet that has ambient bowl lighting and plays our favorite tunes while we use the remote to activate the air dry function?
I mean, just look how gorgeous it looks in this all glass room overlooking a city. I’ve always wanted an all glass bathroom.
Wait for it…
I know, I know, you were probably onto us. What tipped you off? Was it the ambient bowl light? The price tag? The Sunday post (darn you April Fool’s day for being on Sunday!). You guys know us too well.
Psst- Anyone else think it’s funny that a $4,600 toilet doesn’t qualify for free shipping?
Psssst- When it comes to April Fool’s jokes, they’re kind of a tradition around these parts. Here’s last year’s, the year before that, and the year before that.

that made me laugh really hard! (the “blower” really got me rolling) I’ll do a fun “fess up” post every once in a while, but I haven’t yet ventured into the April Fools. I think my readers wouldn’t know what to think (which I suppose would make it even more funny!)

I saw this toilet at the Kohler Design Center and couldn’t believe all that it did. If money was no object, I would probably buy it!
If you ever get to Kohler, WI, you must go through the Design Center and also take a tour of the Kohler Company (both are free). Although I guess to some people, seeing how a toilet, sinks and tubs are made, maybe isn’t that fascinating, but to DIYers like you, it may be.

Haha, it sounds completely fascinating!

THis toilet reminds of the kind they use in Japan. Imagine trying to operate it with everything written in Japanese! -I don’t read a stitch of the lanuage so imagine my surprise when i pressed a button and the bidet turned on! I think my host family had a good laugh when they heard my scream from the bathroom!
Sarah G. says
Oh, well, couldn’t imagine a toilet as big as that, and a bidet alongside! :P

So I thought you would find this hilarious. The lady I clean for recently remodeled her bathroom. Can you guess the toilet she bought?? Yep, not the same exact one as this but pretty darn close! Of course, it doesn’t have the LCD screen and, sadly, it doesn’t have the best options – the ambient lighting or the music – but it’s still quite the elaborate toilet! The first time she mentioned it before she had it put in, I immediately thought of this post! I never thought that within a few months of you posting this that I’d know someone who owned such an elaborate toilet. =)

That’s so funny!
