Fan-Girl Vs Bad Taste
Jun. 6th, 2006 01:50 pmFor those who know me and those who don't, I work in the design industry designing, er- bathrooms. And every so often, we come across the wackiest requests! Today, I heard from a fellow designer in another branch that just simply beats any request I ever got.
Client has a teenage boy and they're renovating all their rooms in their- get this- 37 room cottage in their spring estate. Not summer estate, but spring estate. (rolling eyes) I wish I can be that seasonal. (Wubbles smugly points to self, garbed in its hybernation attire, despite it being summer)
Anyway, the boy wanted to put in his own ideas for what he wanted in his personal bath. And decided he wanted to do a black and white marble mosaic on his floor. Not bad, black/white is kinda classy. But the pattern he wanted was:
A skeleton holding two bottles.
Okay, so this kid, is getting mommy and daddy to pay $50,000 for a custom stone floor of a drunken skeleton so he can see it like every single day. (Wubbles gags, then rolls over to take a nap)
Sometimes my job is...interesting. The studio making the floor is promising pictures. I'll post when its completed. Can we spell "yuck", guys?
