has recently been replaced with this modern throne
The result of this mini-renovation is an abandoned toilet that is waiting for a new home.
Do you need that perfect something to compliment your shag carpet, your harvest gold sink or your faux-wood paneled walls? Are you looking for a gift for the '70s enthusiast in your life? Do you crank up Sonny and Cher on your turntable and host the occasional key party?
Then have I got a deal for you, my friends.
Groovy Greeny, an authentic 1971 avocado green toilet, is in my garage waiting to be plugged
He's got 39 good years behind him, and, if properly installed, another fully functional 39 years ahead of him.
One flush from Greeny and you'll be transported back to the fondue-dipping years of the '70s. Back to a decade of bell bottoms, Virginia Slims and Harvey Wallbangers. You'll remember Richard Nixon (he was not a crook, don't you know), mile long gas lines in your oldsmobile wagon and the awesome special effects of Pong. Can you dig it?
The '70s was a decade not to be forgotten. Why not keep the memories alive with Greeny just steps away in your very own formica laden bathroom.
Energy efficient? Not this throw back.
Beautifully nostalgic in a nauseously-green kind of way? Yeah, baby.
Won't you consider giving Groovy Greeny a loving, forever home?
If there are no takers, my husband, the true recycler of the family, has threatened to bolt Greeny to a tree stump in the back yard and turn him into a planter. Please, somebody take it. Otherwise I will be forced to post pictures of a geranium-filled retro toilet. And that will make me very very cranky.

Funny! When we changed our toilet, I suggested it be a planter too. Then my hubs got out the sledgehammer.
Please post photos of the planter. ;)
I absolutely LOVE the planter idea. Do it! Do it! It'll be sort of like modern art in your own backyard. And, what a statement it would make! Fabulous.
I think the shipping to California would be prohibitive. Sorry.
That would TOTALLY match my mom's house :) I'll let her know.
We will soon have a baby blue model up for adoption too. ;)
Thank you for the GIGGLE I needed this morning!
Planter! Planter! Planter!
Sure, make this blog work for you through and through!
Oh my dear! I am so happy you got upgraded! I wonder if you will have any takers on the tank?
Thanks for stopping by my place and entering the Go Green Giveaway. Maybe your GREEN toilet should be one of the prizes? LOL
Nice! When you find someone who wants it, tell them to come to my house next? We'll offer our avocado linoleum kitchen floor with matching stove hood to the highest bidder.
We had that same green toilet in our old house and it had a matching green tub! Really!
Awesome! I think there's a loo in the garden at Hemingway's house in Key West. With the right greenery, your green toilet would blend right in. :)
I'm thinking someone will want that baby - but mainly because all it takes is one flush.
Fun post. I once had the matching washer and dryer, purchased at a used appliance store. They even worked!
The remodel looks great! I hope you find a happy home for the potty!
I'll trade you my autumn gold one for the green!
