I still remember my childhood days of using outhouses- all too clearly. Until this day, outhouses are still my least favorite room/ structure, and I will try to avoid at all costs. These “outdoor bathrooms” were never well designed nor tastefully decorated… 20 years + later, and these tiny outdoor rooms are still cold and uncomfortable, dark and scary, and definitely not very attractive. But why? I will never understand.
Growing up, I had many fears of using outhouses: fear of falling in, fear of being trapped inside, fear of someone/ something hiding down inside, fear of mid exposure -the structure falling apart while I’m inside, fear of death from holding my breath… Eventhough I survived unscathed, I still dislike.
This past weekend, at the BC Home and Garden Show, I saw heaven on earth. An “outhouse heaven” to be exact, and I was immediately mesmerized (see attached photos). I must have stood fixed in front of these beautiful outhouse displays for hours… I was genuinely captivated.
Yes, there is still hope.
