Oh. Huh. It turns out that the Crayola-brand shower we were snickering at a post or two ago is, like, totally normal in Norway. That’s just how they are there. 100% of them. Every single shower in Norway looks like that. Here, I’ll go to a perfectly random listing in Norway… tum te tum… And look! There it is. I think they’re required by zoning laws.

Loveliest comment, by SM: LOVE it! I’ll take one in every color, and build a house with 24 bathrooms!

That bathroom looks like the exact inverse of the previous one. Don’t ask me to explain exactly what I mean by that. It just is. Some combination of identical and opposite design elements/ colors/ whatever.
Oooo, I kind of like this bathroom. Looks like the toilet matches too. You could imagine you’re living in a space colony.
But the rest of the house has its ups and downs. Don’t they believe in pillows on beds? And – my! – what an interesting collection of carpets and color schemes.
Okay, I can live with this bathroom.
In fact, it’s kind of cool.
And it looks practical like it would be easy to clean.
Unless you live in a hard water area, because then the limescale will just streak it every single time you have a shower.
I actually love the shower. I’d kinda like one. I wonder if they can be purchased or if they’re vintage….
I know, they’re cool! The blue one is surrounded by neutral decor and looks smashing! The yellow one was in a room that was a little too busy, but now we see how to make it work.
LOVE it! I’ll take one in every color, and build a house with 24 bathrooms!
+1
As long as the rest of the colour scheme is fairly neutral, I think they are pretty cool.
I enjoy the shower also. I want a purple one. Think it’s possible?
If they’ve got orange, I’m guessing they’ve got purple.
Am I the only person who thinks that looks like a giant Lego-guy’s helmet?
Hahaha
yes it does, and yes I still want it! I didn’t care too much for the orange version, but this blue one….. yep: WANT!
You’re right! It does look like a Lego Guy’s helmet!
YES.
Do they come in white?
We actually have one of those space age showers from a blog a while ago (the one Sara used her excellent photo-shopping skills to mark what all the buttons did, like “Frappe”).
You have a speaker phone in there and an eerie blue light, some massage type things and a stereo which plays music, radio and can make rainforest sounds etc. We don’t know what MOST of the shower does actually, in fact as it was installed by the previous occupant in the LAUNDRY, allowing absolutely NO space for any sorting or hanging of CLOTHES I’m currently using it as a kind of wardrobe / sorting station.
Beautiful plumage.
The plumage don’t enter into it mate.
(If only the walls were pine we could really get into some dreadfully punning Python references)
Look at the ceiling. Methinks it’s wood. Let the puns begin!
Now you’ve stunned it! Norwegian blues stun easily!
I actually like that bathroom. It’s cool.
But I think you need some real estate listings from other European countries than Norway.
E.g. how about a petite art deco castle in Germany? http://www.viviun.com/AD-139470/
I particularly like the pink bathroom.
Agreed, and ooooh!
And is the price really 139,000 euros? (About $200,000?)
It’s in the middle of nowhere (with hourly train service) and will be very expensive to heat.
Feh, who cares? I’d be living in my own castle! Plus, it is currently free to heat as there is no heating system, so bonus there… um…
I like that the information says 100,000 euro to renovate it, but this can be considerably reduced by using Polish craftsmen.
Also, in the picture of it in black and white (second row down, 5 across) is it being hit by lightening or is that just me?
Are you running some sort of Karaoke experiment today?
And so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew -
we see the Scandi’s shower baths
are bright Norwegian blue…
The bath extolled won’t turn to gold,
will always look like new,
the midnight sun will smile above
the bright Norwegian blue …
whatever you’re smokin’ or drinkin’: can I have some too?
Karaoke versions of Enya… possibly the scariest idea I’ve heard all week.
Ok, y’all. I LOVE this shower and want my own (in purple too). So if anyone finds the manufacturer online, PLEASE share!
I’d put an automatic sliding door on the front, like in a space ship.
I’ve been trying to find a picture of another on Google, just to get a manufacturer’s name (as I’m desperately hoping they come in lime green,) but I haven’t found *anything* similar yet. Searching “Norwegian shower” brings up mostly cruise ship pictures. Not helping, Google.
I want one too (in red). I can’t find it on the internet either because I don’t know what to call it. Not shower pod, or shower enclosure.
Has L.L. yet featured the Sculptured House, which was used for Woody Allen’s 1973 movie “Sleeper”? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculptured_House
This shower would fit right in there.
“Dammit, Hal, I’m freezing my *&# off out here! Open the #@*& pod bay doors!”
It looks like a stage.
“the theatre, the theatre, what has happened to the theatre?”
“I’m singin’ in the rain, just singing in the rain…”
Hate to break it to you all, but I’m norwegian, and I’ve never seen a shower that looks like this
We just have “normal” showers, like everyone else
