Ode to a throne

One of the fun things about buying a fixer upper is grappling with all the decisions that one needs to make. Its like a giant jigsaw puzzle that is constantly changing. Gregg and I are struggling with the layout of the downstairs bathroom and the kitchen, which needs to be determined in order to have the electric wiring and plumbing started now that most of the lath and plaster has been removed.
Unfortunately, the gift of visualization that my father has skipped my generation - but Gregg has the gift. He tries to compensate for my lack of ability by acting out how to best use the space given certain bathroom layouts. We spent the better of an hour this morning with Gregg pretending to sit on the toilet in several different placements. This is a very dedicated finacee.
A small triumph today, I found one piece of the puzzle that makes up the bathroom. These are VERY IMPORTANT quality of life decisions! What toliet, you, your friends and loved ones shall be placing yourself upon for foreseeable future. After many searches, I have found the perfect item.

It is water efficient (a Los Angeles code requirement - 1.28 gpf provides significant water savings of up to 3,200 gallons per year without sacrificing performance), big enough for a 6'4" man (we are talking about comfort height my friends), asthestically pleasing (as far as toilets go), available in 5 colors, but by far my favorite piece of marketing information regarding this beauty is the following: "Class Six flushing technology provides tremendous bulk waste flushing performance and best-in-class bowl cleanliness"

You had me at bulk waste, in the event Gregg and I ever have Celeste and Babar over for dinner.

All the product specifications a girl could ever wish for!

It also has a complementary pedestal sink that just might fit!
