Number 1 or Number 2

So in the quest to build a better bungalow Jenna and I have opted to do a few different things to make the place somewhat green and eco friendly. We would have loved to build an entirely green rehab but these days it still is a bit cost prohibitive to go entirely green. However, we are going green where we think it counts. We are using dual flush toilets. We're going with duravit toilets. Duravit is a German bathroom fixture maker. All of their products come in a variety of really cool designs. Check out their site at www.duravit.us. I must say that their suites are very chic and don't look like clunky utilitarian ceramic commodes like some of the other manufacturers out there. They actually hired some internationally renowned designers to develop some of their lines. Oh and they are using nanotechnology in their products! They have a ceramic glazing called WonderGliss which they made in conjunction with NanoGate. Long story short....wondergliss works on a subatomic level to keep your toilet bowl cleaner longer. I am pleased that so much thought will gone into my number 1's and number 2's. Quite pleased indeed.

It's funny, when I think of building my own home, the first room I mentally design and spend the most time on is not the kitchen, master bedroom or entertainment space, not even the rumpus room, but the most important of all spaces: the bathroom.

Good on ya for the dual flush. They've been all over Europe for ages and I've always wondered why a full flush was needed here in the US of A to toodle-loo a tinkle of wee pee.

Soldier on, Green Bungalow Dweller, soldier on.
