Note to the editor, this article should be called “23 things you should avoid purchasing for your bathroom, because they’re stupidly expensive, and if you buy them, you’ve clearly lost your marbles.” Just like that, no edits, a nice run-on sentence. People might then take it seriously.
Bitter Bob, I love the toothbrush! I think it’s about fun and inspiration not price.
I thank you for this amazing look at bathroom accessories! As an interior designer,we take clients to look at a variety of items…However, I could never (with a good conscience) spend that kind of money on a shower curtain- there are so many other things that are worth having!
I too loved the toothbrushes and the towel warmer!
I was all excited to read and see what the essentials had to offer – until I looked at the prices! Albeit many of the items are gorgeous, they are also not what I’d consider MUST HAVES. Really …… a $2,000 shower head? I do like style but can’t see how many Torontonians are willing to spend $120 on a toilet brush. I’d love to see an article that incorporates the luxe and the reasonable (not discount) items.
