It’s said often that a home is where ones heart is – it’s fair enough
wonder why on earth, there’s a heart on our toilet doors – very often
and the old outdoor toilets these hearts are always obligatory – almost.
It is very modern in newbuildings and refurbishments with great conversation kitchens
lots of studies clearly shows that this causes that men spend more time in the bathrooms
actually a little bit funny and thought-provoking.

Thanks – maybe it works perfect, I really don’t know… 🙂 🙂 😉
Great post Drake! The first part make me lough ;-D ahaha… I’ve never seen any heart on the italian toilets’ doors, luckily… It is a very odd thing!! I like very much the quote of William Jerome and I feel like him about home. But also I have to say that there is a little special place in France where every time I go I feel myself at home more than in any other place and I don’t know why… Maybe I was French in another life 😉 I agree with the quote from Twyla Tharp too. Have a good evening Drake.

Thanks a lot – no hearts on italian toilet doors..? 🙂
Maybe an idea ‘hahaha’ – actually I agree with you, a little bit odd… “hahaha” 🙂

Do you think Bill Cosby might have space for a 23 year old? (male) 🙂
#.jo
In fact I don’t know, but now you mentioning it
so I remember there was a story about Bill Cosby some years ago…
Wouldn’t he mind that he is white? 😉
He’d never notice- he must be aging a little by now? 🙂
😆 yes, I guess you could pass yours easily as one of his 😀
You must be working from home again- or you’re going to be late! I’m out walking soon but the skies are heavy. 🙂
Nope, I am multitasking at work. 😀
“multitasking” – a talent only women have… 🙂 🙂 😉

Don’t worry- I won’t tell the boss 🙂

That is a really well designed, constructed and photographed toilet 😀
#.ralph
Wow I didn’t know it was a real design toilet… 🙂 🙂 😉
Possibly good enough for the superbowl 😉
‘hahaha’ – Make me think – could you imagine 100 of these in Hyde Park London or Central Park NY..? “lol lol” 😉
Possibly 😀
🙂
I agree with Ralph, it’s well design and built; I don’t know about the heart on the toilet doors though 😕
#.amy
Maybe the heart is the only light inside there..? “lol lol”
I didn’t look inside it… 😉
Thanks, Drake! 🙂 🙂
🙂 🙂
A very covert spot I see. Interesting. Somehow as cute as it is, I would shy away from the place.
#.nancy
but there’s a heart on it… 🙂 🙂
haha. The heart doesn’t cut it this time, I’m afraid….
🙂 😉
“Art is the only way to run away without leaving home“ I love this quote! Great post!
#.diana
Me too, there’s a lot of truth in it… 🙂

Thanks, really appreciates… 🙂
Unusual structure for an outdoor toilet. Where was it taken?
#.colline
In a danish forest… 🙂
For sure Home is where the Heart is, and after 3 months away I know the sentiment better than ever. Your post has inspired me to put a heart on my bathroom door when I get home! “lol” It’s indoors! It’s illegal to have an outhouse in Toronto. 😉
Thanks Le Drake Hugs _Resa
#.resa
What about the huge canadian forest or the canadian prairie..? 🙂 🙂 😉
“hahaha” Well, at camp I learned how to dig a hole between 2 trees then tie a strong branch between them.
“hahaha” True! 🙂 🙂 😉
There were some outhouses when I was a child…. but mostly for the beach/camping and such.
All my life, Canada has been the land of flush toilets and TV.
“lol”
I’m a bathroom princess! 😎 😉 🙂
The bathrooms are more safe – in nature between two trees on a branch (even if it is strong) much can happens… ‘hahaha’ 🙂
EW!!! “hahaha” 🙂 🙂
🙂
Wonderful post! I love that tiny house!

Thanks, yeah isn’t it cute… 🙂 😉

You’ve raised an excellent question or two … first – why are there hearts on the doors of outdoor toilets? :S (I wish I could answer that one – it is a subject worthy of extensive research) and second, why are humans the only one to let their young come back home – as a superios species – they should know better 😉
#.paula
That’a the way I am – always do asking silly questions – can’t help it… 🙂 🙂 😉
I have did a bit of research now … in spite of my heavy work schedule (all your fault – not my work, but my avoidance of it ;)), and it says in a paper on the Internet by someone who seems to know what he is talking about, that in the past some of these outhouse facilities were also used as observatories (of sky apparently) :D, and that heart was not the only symbol used on side doors, that there was half moon and sun too :). The paper also shows a traffic sign for toilet in Sweden which depicts an outhouse with a carved heart on the door. This makes me wonder what Swedes used their outhouses for?
Yeah what goes on among these swedes..? ‘hahaha’
Your research is impressive… 🙂
¡Bonita foto!!! Y lo demás, jajaja.
