Extreme Bathrooms

(from The Too Big House by Sara Sue-Sank-Her)

There are a lot of bad bathroom jokes out there, but the worst are those teeny, tiny bathrooms that show up on the typical house plan. Sure, the whirlpool tub might seat four, but what about the wave pool and the Olympic qualifiers? You can't practice for the Olympics in a bathtub. At least not the little toy tubs in the typical design magazine. So, when you ponder the bathroom, think personal, and remember, the plural of person is people.

The bathroom is not just a private space for me anymore. When the mood strikes, I invite the whole neighborhood over for some off-season surfing or a nice indoor regatta
