It’s funnier if, like me, you misinterpret that as a sink and wonder why the fuck someone would put a mini fireplace in a bathroom.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A mini fireplace in a bathroom does not sound so bad tbh (and you can remove the carpet from the bathroom faster by burning it)

[–] Lemmylefty 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Great, now not only do I have “slip in the shower and introduce my front teeth to the faucet at mach 3” nightmares, now I gotta have “…and shove foot directly into brazier at the same time” as well?

I was thinking safe closed fire with a glass window in the oposite corner. You would get the nice light and sounds while in the bath, and a warm place to sit next to when you leave the bathtub.

I love a good floor-sink! Being able to wash your face lying down is the best!

[–] NOT_RICK 45 points 2 years ago

The sub flooring around that tub must be in great shape

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The trip hazard is unreal. I kinda want to see it furnished though, firstly, how was it used? livingroom or bathroom? secondly, whad kind of derange furniture choice were made to accompany this madness?
A dedicated orgy room is the least deranged option I can think of.

[–] Late2TheParty 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dangit! Now all I see is a some crazy sex room!

[–] HR_Pufnstuf 9 points 2 years ago

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[–] JimmyChanga 5 points 2 years ago

I'd presume it was a master bedroom. Still not my kind of thing, but it made a little sense that way

[–] Jimmycakes 4 points 2 years ago

It was used by dinner guests to clean up

Someone was trying to do the same thing as in that 1983 movie Scarface https://borntobeunicorn.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/scarface_bornunicorn.png

This would be great for certain types of parties that I may or may not have attended. 😉

Daily life, not so much.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

dedicated orgy room. Imagine the thought process, the planning...

The parties I went to in the 70’s had a dirty pool table and a large confederate flag pasted over dark fake paneling. A tub would be for bodily fluids.

This looks so ridiculous that I thought it was photoshopped. Just Ctrl c - Ctrl v that bad boy right in the middle of the forest green carpet.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I still think it's photoshopped.

I looked at a flat that had a sunken bath that was beside the route from the bathroom door to the toilet and considered it a death trap. Then a friend who is an engineer pointed out that, as this was the first floor flat in a house conversion, the sunken bath is either sticking out from the ceiling of the downstairs flat or, as was the case, it is in the stairwell which should have been capped off with very sturdy beams but instead has a bath in it. And the plumbing for the bath would, presumably, be through the now bricked off bottom of the stairs in the lower flat. It all looked like a nightmare and stayed on the market for a year, occasionally going off when someone made and offer and quickly coming back again when the surveyors report came in. Now at least I know it could have been worse.

You mean you don't like to take baths near the fire like our ancestors used to have to?

[–] SomeoneElse 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bath near a fire sounds pretty nice. Sunken bath surrounded by carpet? Not so much.

[–] NewEnglandRedshirt 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

(I'm aware. I was blissfully playing ignorant. Probably should have included an /s or something)

[–] SomeoneElse 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, it’s me. I’m terrible at subtext, a good 75% of jokes go over my head, and I’m ridiculously gullible. You carry on!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Glad I’m not the only one.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Living room hot tub sounds pretty sweet though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would not look and turn left when exiting the door and fall directly into it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fall directly into a hot tub party

[–] Followupquestion 3 points 2 years ago

Wait a minute, this isn’t where I parked my car!

[–] JoshuaSlowpoke777 8 points 2 years ago

Someone clearly isn’t concerned about the legions upon legions of crud carpet can cling to.

The droppings from two different species of dust mite alone would get my immune system declaring war.

Why does it look like a backrooms level? lol

[–] Cybermass 4 points 2 years ago

That carpet is fucking revolting

[–] Valthorn 4 points 2 years ago

"We have Scarface's house at home!"

[–] Nindelofocho 4 points 2 years ago

Mildew, mould and rot 🤢

[–] Donjuanme 3 points 2 years ago

Reading comes to mind. But please cover it before someone falls in.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 2 years ago

That room must smell lovely. Yikes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would be into this actually

[–] danielbln 9 points 2 years ago

Nothing like the sloshing sound of a wet carpet.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least the interior and colors are modern

[–] SomeoneElse 2 points 2 years ago

It’s like they used crazy paving on that fireplace!
