HydroGlass Showering System for the Truly Rich

May 5, 2009 | Posted by Allison as For the House at 10:00 am | (2) Comments »

So maybe the Jetsons era has finally approached with the new HydroGlass Showering System.

Developed by none other than HydroCo, this wet room treatment is all you need and more.  Enjoy a wet massage or just relish in the wetness while you look down at your fishy friends making play in their own water.

The swing-away Vichy rainbar is affixed to foot end of the table and an individual showerhead enables a reduction in water usage, down as much as 80% compared with other Vichy-type shower treatments.

All in all, who doesn’t want to shower with the fishes?  No word, as of yet, on pricing I’m afraid.

December 6, 2006 | Posted by Allison as For the House at 10:00 am | (1) Comment »

The best part of any kitchen dishwasher is that is must be pink.  And the Pink Smeg Freestanding Dishwasher does that & then some. 

This freestanding dishwasher not only comes in pink, but also allows you to move it around wherever you want it.  Don’t invest in a fitted dishwasher if you move about a lot, a freestanding is the way to go.  The Pink Smeg features 10 settings, five temperatures and a delay timer, so you can choose when you want to start doing the dishes.  Cost for this marvelous item, $1000.  Maybe go for a fitted one after all…
