He’s got the million dollar home, the car collection, and gobs of gadgets. He already has everything, what more could he need? How about a designer urinal for the master suite? The fixture caused a stir at the Broward Red Cross Designers’ Show House in Fort Lauderdale. At Turnberry Ocean Colony, a 260-unit complex of multi-million dollar beachfront condos, urinals have been installed in the priciest of properties.

In January, The New York Times reported that home urinals are becoming “a definite must for luxury homes.” The trend also has been reported in the National Post in Toronto, Ontario, and the Financial Times in London.

Shane Judd, Kohler's product manager for commercial fixtures, says urinals have grown more popular in homes during the past two years. The key markets are on the coasts. "There is an appeal if something is unique," he says. "I think there has been some reluctance in the past, but the fact that we are coming up with urinals that are aesthetically pleasing helps. It is something really different, and it almost looks like a piece of art." (orlandosentinel)

The problem with urinals is that most women aren't as comfortable as men around them. Imagine have your best girlfriends over to your 1 million dollar condo and when they go to the bathroom they are assaulted by a urinal on the wall. Not sure if it will ever go mainstream.

In 5 years, 36 of the 50 states will not have enough water to supply the needs of their residents. We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Be glad when water pours out of your faucet each time you turn it on.
