Merry Christmas - Porcelain Style

No, not new China or a nice vase. My Christmas present this year is looking to be a new toilet. After seeing a spot on our ceiling under the bathroom, we called in a plumber to investigate. Turns out our master bathroom toilet has probably had a small leak for years. We're having to get a new toilet now and new dry wall in the living room.

We had the fun and excitement of looking at toilets last night. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I will have to admit that the adventure was much more exciting than I anticipated. There is a showroom that had the toilets that our plumber recommended (Toto). Not only did they have toilets on display, but they had huge whirlpool type bathtubs, cool lavatories, sleek water faucets and the like. I was ready to take a bath right then and there.

There are a variety of toilets...who knew! Some flush with a little water, some with a lot...some with elongated seats, others with regular. So many choices.

We're still finalizing our choice. I hope it'll be decided soon so that by the time I'm back from Christmas I have my Christmas present in place!
