Bathroom Review: The Flash Mahal

 As part of my ongoing series of reviews of the great bathrooms of the Twin Cities, I reviewed Flash’s newly-reopened master bathroom, the “Flash Mahal”. 

A frequent stop on visits to Flash’s Garage – the social center of the Midway – Flash’s master bathroom was once a fairly undistinguished little cubbyhole –  just a toilet, shower and sink.

But with his latest remodel job finished, the Flash Mahal may be perhaps the finest single space of any kind in Saint Paul.

It was a risky job – the all-white motif could have risked comparisons to 2001: A Space Odyssey  – but Flash and Mrs. Flash carried it off, somehow.  You feel like you could film a commercial,  throw a swanky party, even host a rave, in a space like this.

Some might say that, compositionally, the architecture is derivative of 1950’s Spanish Bano Blanco, but let’s be honest, there are worse influences to pilfer!  

I give it three and a half stars.  Zagat says four, but I don’t like to spoil people…

So kudos to the Flashes – who will be sharing Flash Mahal with one fewer kid next week!

  1. give it three and a half stars.

    No way that’s his work; $10 says he contracted it…..moonbats are not even smart enough to know which side of a hammer is “up”.

  2. Swiftee,

    As he noted in his blog posts on the subject, he contracted some, and he and Mrs. Flash did plenty more themselves.

  3. Wait, there’s a place to urinate *inside* Flash’s house? Angryclown is so embarrassed.

  4. So you were standing on the edge of the bathtub to get that last pic?
    Where is the stowage for the extra roll?

  5. All Demo and finishing work done by us. Contracted the Plumbing to code, tile work (but our design) and the Glass Block window that was pre-made off site and installed into the roughin I built and prepared.

    “”Where is the stowage for the extra roll?””
    The Roll holder flips and you can stack up to three additional rolls on the stand.

    Thanks Mitch, we like it !

  6. “”Where is the stowage for the extra roll?””

    Anyone but me praying the answer wasn’t going to be “we followed Sheryl Crow’s advice?”
