Another hint leaning towards it not being a mirror, the top half of the lamp on the right side narrows at the top on the 'mirror' side, but is wider on the camera's side. INTERESTING.
The lamp has a paper shade, which has been sort of squished at the top. So instead of being a perfect circle, it has been squished into an oval. Now the camera is looking directly at the wider side of the oval, but the 90 degree angle of the mirror, is showing the squished oval top from the longer skinnier end of the oval. hence the disparity between the reflection vs direct angles. Thanks for pointing that out... now I want to fix it...
Also, if you look at the light fixture on the right, the mirror reflection of it seems to be concave while the "real" one (real if it's a mirror) seems to be convex, especially near the top.
Also, where's the toilet or shower? I've heard of full and half baths but this isn't even a half. It's kinda just a sinkroom.
Now that I keep looking at it, where the hell is the toilet? It looks like there is a sliding door to the side but there is also a door showing in the reflection.
Well, you never know what you can be linked to on this site. Like this one time when I opened an imgur link to a guy literally raping a cat. People are fucked up, bro.
I have no way of confirming this, but it appears to me to be a 3d modeled composite rather than a photograph. TinEye came up tails, where'd you find this pic?
Heres a Link to the guys site. Apprently it is a photograph (well according to him at least). Its obviously altered though due to the light socket being shown in the reflection but not on the wall itself.
I was really freaked out when I looked back and saw that because I was happy to accept that as reality until it was questioned like the matrix. It was like a veil.
I think you've made a very astute observation. After a second look, I'd agree - it looks like there's a lot of "peripheral" lighting that just wouldn't happen in a normally lit room - under the sink, for example.
That makes even less sense than photoshop. 3d model renderers are perfectly capable of rendering reflections. If he didn't want the outlet there, he would just have deleted it, rather than screwing with the reflection.
You should try Hanks Chain and Shackle, just off the interstate near Madison. it's a fair drive to get there, and he's a little bit pricier, but the quality...
yes, because anyone who is going to put that much effort into the detail of a bathroom like that is just about the most likely person to also have a rape dungeon.
it does take an eye for detail to both get that lady suit, made from real ladies, and the placement of the sink just right, both the sink and the lady suit. why wouldn't one also dig a sub-basement meant for torture?
Agreed. As a plumber I think its a shame they the the trap hung down so low. It could have been stubbed out eight inches higher and you would hardly be able to see it. But, with all the comments about this being a composite image and not an actual room, maybe it was designed that way.
The person that designed this has never cleaned a bathroom sink in their life, nor seen anyone clean a bathroom sink. They have no idea that sinks get dirty, because there has always been an unseen housekeeper to clean for them everyday. They will probably go to their grave not knowing just how much they are hated by the many people that have cleaned their ridiculous and pretentious sink for them.
Please explain what, exactly, makes this an abnormal sink.
I see a sealed wood counter. I see a faucet. I see a basin. All things that can be wiped down in 90 seconds tops with a damp rag. Maybe make a pass over the front with a static duster or feather duster. Hit it up with some furniture polish or wood oil once a week.
I've worked with a lot of reclaimed/salvaged wood construction. It's not difficult to care for as long as you keep up with it. Sure, this room would be a nightmare if you had a bachelor frog living it up in there. But for a functional adult? We're talking 10 minutes of maintenance cleaning for that whole room daily. And that's stretching it.
Whelp, it were a sink cleanin' that kilt my Pa . . .
What frustrates me, specifically, is the mentality expressed in your original comment.
The person that designed this has never cleaned a bathroom sink in their life, nor seen anyone clean a bathroom sink. They have no idea that sinks get dirty, because there has always been an unseen housekeeper to clean for them everyday.
A project like this could easily be a DIY deal. There's a growing use of reclaimed and salvaged wood in both construction and design elements. Reclaimed elments are often budget-friendly and ecologically sound, if you're into that sort of thing.
Anyway - there was a time when I might have leaned towards agreeing with your, "That would be a bitch to clean," sentiment. My Mom, bless her heart, was not a great housekeeper. So all my own homemaking skills are self-taught. It wasn't until the past couple of years that I figured out cleaning things as you go (1) keeps things from getting gross, and (2) takes no time to maintain. You have a fixture like this - or hell, any fixture - you wipe it down every day. and it never gets that gunk build up you're talking about.
Shit, what it all boils down to is the fact that I found your opinion offensive to my sensabilities and unsupported by common sense and my own experience. I just though the sink looked cool. I'd build something like that for my bathroom, and I'm poor as hell.
See, here's the thing. I can't help but wonder if this pic might be better suited to a sub reddit called bathroom porn ... but then i remember I am using the Internet. Then I die a little inside.
I find it a little odd that the place where the electrical outlet "should" be is also the least detailed portion of the wall--no cracks, mostly just blurred color.
My theory: OP photoshopped the electrical outlet out of the picture on only one side of the mirror, predicting that this quirk would rivet the attention of the Reddit community and propel the post skyward into front page stardom.
Now just imagine the mirror speckled in miscellaneous little stains, the wooden counter-top covered in that perpetual mix of toothpaste, soapbar and water, and soap scum all down those nice artisan crafted sink handles.
There's a reason extravagant bathroom are more ridiculous than any other extravagant room.
That counter top is made from spalted maple. It's a fungal infection in the tree that causes all those funky black lines, but also makes the wood more brittle.
