If you subscribe to any home and garden magazines, or spend any time surfing HGTV, you've probably noticed wall toilets creeping into designer bathrooms all over the place. These are
toilets with tanks installed directly into the wall, and bowls that don't touch the ground, suspended beautifully on the wall in...
The transition to lower flow toilets has been a pretty rocky one. Many people were put off by early low flow
toilets that, frankly, didn't work, and despite significant improvements in the tech, buyers have remained wary of replacing their old toilets. But many older models flush inefficiently, take forever to...
There are tons of tips and tricks out there for saving space in a small bathroom, but one that doesn't always make the list is actually one of my favorites: the
wall mounted toilet. These sleek modern fixtures take up significantly less space than traditional toilets, and come equipped with many eco-friendly f...
Over the last decade or sow, "low flow toilet" had come to be a phrase that evokes both mistrust and disdain.

For some, making the swap is easy, but even if you really don't want to ...
Whether you like it or not, you're going to spend a good chunk of your life in your
bathroom. For most of us, we don't think too hard about it, except to usually complain that there's not enough space. Is there though? If you have the wrong hardware and furniture installed, you can have a room that feels a fourth of the size it actually is. A g...
