Toilet Tank Decor

Which of these images most closely resembles the top of your toilet tank?

  1. Mine has a push button centrepiece with dual flush so it's clutter free, except for the occasional spare toilet roll, which is a good thing really, because when I'm feeling a bit worse for wear or dealing with a difficult boulder, I like to sit facing the cistern.

    Pic.2 reminds me of my first flat, before my live-in maid I used to live alone in genteel squalor.

    The owners of the penultimate toilet has got a touch of the Hyacinths about them.

    You're not going to believe this, when I was growing up, we had a downstairs toilet with a pull down chain. It's true!

    1. MITZI: The first part of your comment has given me an idea for a near future post.

      I have a friend in Montreal who lives in a house that was built in the Victorian era. It too has a toilet with a pull-down chain. Endlessly entertaining for those of us who are easily amused.

    2. I used has instead of have.

  2. My bath towel rack is above the toilet, which would make an excellent proscenium for an allegorical tableau on the tank top à la the last pix. But, alas, nothing due to the cats.

    1. LX: Maybe if you put down the toilet seat, you wouldn’t have to worry about the cats knocking things off the toilet tank lid.

      But that’s a whole other discussion.

  3. I am also challenged by a central flush button... but sometimes my rubber duck will sit there and gaze forlornly at the bath.

  4. Like Mitzi and Ms Scarlet, mine too has a central push-button dual flush, so nothing adorns my cistern.
    And also like Mitzi, the original Norwich Castle DeVice had a downstairs pull-down flush!


    Despite my love of doilies and flounce, I like the look of the last tank topper.

    1. MR. DeVICE: Am I the only person without a central push-button dual flush toilet?

    2. Does the coven have to vote about which button to push?

    3. Ordinarily, yes, Peenee. But about once a month, The Very Mistress gets just a tiny bit grumpy for some peculiar reason (and I don't think it IS because she doesn't have a central push-button dual flush toilet?), so we don't do anything that would push Her buttons!

  5. Is that a Mike Pence (top?) doll in camouflage?
    He'd like that quilted, pleated number. Suits him.

    1. NORMA: Pence calls his wife "Mother" so I doubt there's much going on between the sheets and yes, I'm guessing that's Mike cruising the toilets.

  6. There is nothing on top of my toilet tank. I like the minimalist clean look. I don't know how people can read books while sitting on the toilet. There are other more comfortable places to sit or lay down. And I don't have a central push button flush.

    1. EROS: I just KNEW you'd be a minimalist!

      One of my former workplaces had a central push button flush. I could never bring myself to touch it with my finger (GERMS!)so I had to place a layer of toilet tissue between my finger and the button in order to press it.

  7. So, does anyone else get the serious hypocritical closet vibe from a certain politician??

    Discuss.

    1. TESTOSTERONE: Frankly, who would want him regardless of his sexual orientation? The thought of him having it off with either sex is rather off-putting, to say the least.

    2. Mistress,
      Once he pockets the power, your spread legs will be DC bound, and those tights of yours will adorn the four-poster in the Lincoln bedroom.

      Me thinks you doth protest too much.

  8. i like to think you added the last photo for me, as you know my long unfulfilled dream of Barbie doll diorama. I have nothing on my toilet. For heavens sake, when I'm there, I'm busy.

    1. MAGO: We're going to assume you mean photo number 2, not a sudden need to use one of these toilets.
