7. Make it a really big urinal too
Ideally it should cover at least two walls in the bathroom.

14. Right between the living room chair and the fridge ...
bang-bang-bang and you don't miss a thing. Even better if you can get the urinal facing the TV.

19. How about a Master Suite with His & Hers Bathrooms?
Here's one in San Francisco:

Master suite presents partial Bay and Alcatraz views; the master bedroom can be served by two separate bathrooms, one of which offers a dual-headed Corian-finished steam shower; the second master bath (with jetted tub) can be accessed from both the master bedroom and bedroom 4

· Bedroom 4 features handpainted wall artistry and Bay-view windows; this bedroom can access master bathroom #2 and could function as a master study

This $12 million Pacific Heights Georgian Mansion may be a bit rich for your blood. But I've seen MUCH more modest separate bathroom setups on TV...

27. My son wanted one when they built their new house..he got one
it's in the basement bathroom though..off of the "men's area" where he and his buddies play cards, watch sports, etc.

Oh..and he's responsible for cleaning it. I think his wife made the right decision.

33. We do. It's called the back door.
Unless you have a deck or patio then it's not such a good idea.
