    Hi L — the heart just means you “like” or “love” the post — it doesn’t require you to purchase anything. Just like “liking” on Facebook.

  This is a lovely home and I like it, but what is the story behind all the unsightly pipes, hoses, and wires over the commode? Can it not be covered with something decorative?

    Looks like they do that for all their builds, seems to be for costs.

    Marsha, how about a shelf over the toilet tank that could hold one of those beautiful Indian wood mandalas or floral screens I have seen in decor magazines? You might have to have the house built to order with the toilet out from the wall a few inches to accommodate the screen being in front of all the unsightly stuff on the wall. The shelf and screen should also be removable for servicing the water apparatus etc.

    I do like this house very much. It is not overdone on all the high end decorative finishes which would have taken its reasonable $65k price up quite a hefty notch. I have faced the facts – ‘high end’ means high price. And I don’t need all the fancy stuff. There’s a lot I can do myself with my artwork and colorful items that move the eye around the space. And I already own that stuff, so I love this house!
    PS – Must have a bit more counter, or a movable counter next to the sink!!

      PSS, or PPS, whichever it is! I am wild bout the ceiling! How in the world did the architect dream that up. I love that it is in wood planks which emphasize the angles. It is gorgeous!
      Where is the closet mentioned in the list of goodies?

        By the bathroom, visible when the barn door for the bathroom is closed.

  Oh, and that wall receptacle could be placed between the sink and the commode and a little lower so it doesn’t intrude on the one spot on the most visible wall where something both decorative and useful could be placed.

    Problem, by code outlets have to be at least 1 foot away from the sink, lower and between the sink and commode would place it less than that requirement. While also the issue of the towel holder above that location and the increased risk of water reaching the outlet at that location…

      Hmmm. . .what about an outlet above the towel holder up next to the water heater so that the cord runs parallel and is less noticeable? Then any decorative cover will cover that cord, too. This will also free up that wall to hang other storage or decorative things. It may seem like a trivial issue, but after living tiny (original tiny– houses smaller than this) for these last 10 years, I can tell you that organizing the wall spaces for maximum use is just as important as maximizing the use of floor space and head space. That’s why it stands out to me.

        If you move the towel holder to another wall it could work, the normal max height for outlets from floor is 48″ and combustibles like the towel should be kept away anyway… Could put the towel holder closer to the shower stall if you don’t need it immediately by the sink… Otherwise that plan works…
