Some conventions are best left undisturbed.
At least it's flush against the wall.
I am not crazy about it at all. worse, I would be afraid that someone would try to use it....
I think that might be taking the piss.
Gross!
that's sure to dull appetite..
two thoughts;
this guy would be "disturbing" at my next party
shrug and turn it into a marguerita dispenser
The place is already disturbed with the vein-mirrored pony wall and 70's kitchen.
WTH, put some flowers in it or use it as a punchbowl.
some people want to make a statement out of their home. I just want to fill mine with the smell of cookies. Definitely not for me. I like my conversations uninterrupted.
Maybe this is for marking the territory?????
This makes me wonder why the homeowner (or designer) has to make such a jarring statement.
Would you like fries with that?
Oh dear. I am becoming old. My first thought was 'how convenient!'
Oddly, I came here immediately from The Blue Remembered Hills blog, where the writer remembered a dinner party at an elegant house years ago--and the elderly grandfather going to the sideboard and taking out a chamberpot, pissing in it, and returning to table.

But wait---didn't Marcel Duchamp already do this decades ago? In art, everything that's old is new again...
playful fail.
Ridiculous.
Not suitable art for my friends!
