WOW!!! That Guy has talent!!!
SO?--was this piece of drywall left as an art form--SAY IN A BATHROOM?
Or was it mounted somewhere?
He should take a photo of it and print his own Christmas cards.

Sally--
I would be glad to take your yellow toilet--except I have one of my own.
I'll trade you for a blue one, though? You know--that nice med. powder blue?
This one is in my "closet-sized "master Bathroom" 1970's style!
One could get claustrophobic in it. Like--my shower stall is 30"x30".
To shave my legs, I have to prop my leg into the corner....gives me cramps!

Smack next to it is a small sink/vanity (all ue) and then the blue toilet.
And--as it was so popular--I even have a blue print wallpaper all around in there!

You will die to see the wallpaper we lived with for years....The orange/yellow,brown mix...
AHH! So peaceful--all earth-tones....(Jeff--it would keep you awake all night! )
Accompanied by my golden- beige W--W carpet....
Even my 1st tile floor in the kitchen was in all those colors! Such bliss!!!!

OK! Back to the topic on hand....re-purposing your yellow toilet...
You just have to do it, Sally! Like Holly's red tub in the garden! Who woulda thunk???

Missingrosie is on the right track---love the deco ideas! But I have a better idea---
You could plug up the drain part and use it as an ice chest you can keep cold beer in!
The tank part could hold the extras-on-ice too.
OHH! Oh!! given it is deeper--how about wine bottles?

I don't have too many pictures to show you from this Era--(they are all prints in albums)
but here is the LR/DR wall paper: Ignore the painting--it just hung there...
Imagine this--ALL over--everywhere you looked!
