Household

Geek themed rooms are always good things even if the room is the bathroom. After a friend expressed a desire to have a Spider-Man themed room in the house for her husband, Riley Replicas designed a faux brick wall with some of Spidey’s villains punching through. The wall ended up being put in the bathroom.

“I had a friend who wanted to decorate a room in her house for her husband who is a HUGE Spider-man fan so I made this wall panel for the room. I went with a faux brick wall theme with Spideys villains bursting through the wall! I have The Sandman, The Lizard, Doc Ock and The Green Goblin represented.

Just wanted to add pics of the wall installed in the customers….bathroom! Pretty unusual place but I think it turned out OK”

Yes, it is unusual. I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure how I’d feel about looking at Sandman’s fist while I’m taking care of business. Still, it’s following in familiar footsteps. Check out these Super Mario Bros and World of Warcraft bathrooms.

SoapDispenserIf you participate in OCD style hand washing, you may want the reassurance of knowing that your soap is up to its antibacterial duties. Not a problem when you have a dispenser that lists credentials in the form of word definition:

” Clean – Unsoiled, unstained, unadultered, pure. Habitually free from dirt, defects and flaws. Innocent from any crime”

However, before you put your hand soap on the same level as Jesus, you should know that it only works on external dirt.
