Love Them or Hate Them..?

These are two items I've been pondering over and I just can't decide if I love them or hate them!

The first one is a Julien bench toilet that Maz from Style Treaty brought to my attention. It's an uber-trendy piece that offers a sophisticated disguise to a functional and generally unnattractive item. The wood panel slides across the toilet bowl when not in use. I'm just thinking about the age-old argument about putting the toilet seat down, if that still hasn't been resolved then this is opening a whole new can of worms!

I think I like it, it's the kind of thing that would look great in a chic restaurant or swanky penthouse apartment, but would look ridiculous in a regular home.

The second item is an ipod toilet paper holder and I've already decided while I'm writing this that I do in fact hate it. I'm an ipod addict but I draw the line at this. I like the idea of having music in the bathroom when you're having a long hot shower or bath but I think this just looks tacky...
