The best seat in the house?
By Times Staff, Wires
Published October 13, 2007
Everybody's getting tats these days, so why not your toilet seat? Toilet tattoos are images printed on electrostatic vinyl film, so you just smooth them on and they stay in place until you peel them off. No tools, no glue, no damage. They come in florals, seasonal and holiday motifs (check out the "Ho, ho, ho" pattern at the Web site, www.toilet-tattoos.com), rubber duckies, more. They're $9.95. The manufacturer can reproduce original paintings and photographs: Imagine the possibilities! The greening of a name Trend to watch: US GreenFiber has announced a name change for its cellulose insulation, formerly known as Cocoon - which, face it, has a vague connotation of caterpillars, maybe not what you want to think of inside your walls. The new name: GreenFiber, to emphasize the product's "green" content and its sustainability. Eighty-five percent of the insulation is recycled paper. Producing cellulose insulation takes one-tenth the energy of fiberglass, the company says. Details at www.greenfiber.com. Last chance to tour luxury homes This is your last weekend to view 15 luxury homes in the Greater Tampa Bay Luxury Home Tour, showcasing homes priced at $1-million or more.
