Give your bathroom the ‘Star Wars’ treatment

Picture

It’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” release weekend, and I would be remiss in my duties if I did not incorporate that into my post.

If you’re hoping to remodel your bathroom into something more like a galaxy far, far away, then look no further, because we came across an article titled “4 futuristic bath upgrades to indulge in for 2016” and it’s going to blow your mind quicker than the Death Star wasting Alderaan.

The first upgrade to consider is your toilet. The article mentions the Neorest 750H by TOTO, which is Corellian Corvette of commodes. The intelligent toilet features “integrated UV light and special glaze to break down dirt and grime in the bowl,” according to its website. It also boasts a Tornado/Siphon Jet Flushing System, a heated seat, deodorizer and warm water sprays to provide an unparalleled experience. With all the bells and whistles, it retails for $9,800.

The second upgrade to consider is your shower. If you are tired of guessing when the temperature is just perfect enough to jump in, then a remote-controlled shower can make your life a million times easier. Instead of jumping into a shower only to find Hoth-like water temperatures instead of ones from Tatooine, you will arrive at just the right time. And if you want to keep the party going like the Mos Eisley Cantina, a water-proof sound system — that can stream music from your mobile device — is right up your alley.

Smart mirrors are another upgrade to consider. Some digital mirrors have anti-fog coating, so you can admire your pretty mug without having to wipe down the mirror first. Other mirrors allow you to add a touch screen to access apps and emails, or you can add a TV so you can stay up to date on box office numbers or the big game.

Finally, digital electronic faucets are a thing, probably straight out of the First Order handbook. These bad boys use infrared sensors — I mean, the Force — to sense when you are away and turn off. Other features include displays so you can program temperature, flow duration, or monitor usage, much like they do on Jakku.

If we’ve awakened your interest, give us a call! Have a good week. And may the Force be with you!
