Thrones Fit For a Queen: 5 Quirky Toilets

Poor toilets. So under appreciated, yet so entirely necessary. I'd even venture to say that they're one of the most essential fixtures in your home (aside from the remote, of course). It's a good thing the following designers are giving toilets the attention they deserve. After all, loos have feelings, too!

The Blinged Out Bowl
Florida designer Jemal Wright can be thanked for this over-the-top collection (pictured above), which is encrusted with Swarovski crystals. The price tag? A mere $75,000. Ben Franklin toilet paper not included.

Pretty Potty
A flower shaped urinal? Artist Clark Sorenson in San Francisco is responsible for these beauties, which are installed in a Bermuda restaurant, a German hotel and, in the near future, an Italian garden center. I suppose your husband will finally learn to water those plants, ladies!














Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide
Troy Adams' toilet creation comes fully equipped with a sliding wood panel to transform the commode into a bench when not in use. Let's hope your honey doesn't forget to put the seat down on this toilet!

A Loo With a View
Peter Dallimore's Australian creation brings stage fright to a new level entirely. Featuring a backdrop of local models peeking at...well, you know, these urinals are built to impress (your spectators!).

Dinner Potty
A new kind of dinner party, the Modern Toilet chain of restaurants in Taiwan serves food on a ... porcelain platter. (A true pu pu platter?) With faux-toilet seating and a plethora of bathroom signage, even the food is served in mini-toilets. Soft-serve ice cream is a house favorite, and I can only hope the menu doesn't include Rocky Road.
