We finally got our toilet in to replace the one that almost flooded out our house. I can't get my tile for another 2 to 3 weeks so I told my husband to install the toilet so that we can use it. Well, it went in and I was disappointed. The beige color, I knew was going to be a little darker than my shower but in the bathroom light it also appeared yellower than my shower too. Also my paint job which did finally come out, matches the shower color but not so much the toilet. Ugh! I can't believe it. Can anything else go wrong? I guess I should not complain. Somehow, I will figure out how to tie it all together.
Not only was the color off but the toilet was massive in size compared to the old one. It also sits up a lot higher. Testing out the toilet, I thought I was sitting on a throne. The shape of the toilet seat is a lot more oval than my old one and it just did not contour to the shape of my seat very well. I liked how the toilet looked in the showroom but it never occurred to me to actually sit on it and try it out first. I thought a toilet was a toilet but I guess I was wrong!

I had no idea that toilets came in different sizes either. Love the cartoon!
That sucks! Yes, newer toilers nowadays have that oval shape for men... I just learned that last year when I had a new toilet installed. The oval shape is so they have a better chance of... uh... hitting the mark - if you know what I mean. You know, not tinkling on the edge.
I'm sure everything will turn out beautifully. You just have a little kink in your decorating plan. Don't worry.
Thanks Petula and Tammy, for your comments. Well I guess that makes sense about the oval shape but believe me, I think my gang is having a harder time hitting the mark. I already had to clean up a big mess this morning and these are not little kids either. Yuk!
I think toilet testing would be fun. A little weird, but fun.
BTW, tagging you for a meme over at my blog.
