Telling people in Arizona that our bathroom is outside has always brought a few laughs. Here, in rural Costa Rica it is very common. Through the year we have grown to appreciate the many benefits of our bathroom / shower / laundry room area and have spent a good deal of time improving it (first photo is "after"). We added a “suicide shower” – the local way of having hot water showers. We tiled the floors. Added a stainless steel sink in the laundry area and a porcelain sink in the bathroom. And of course we painted inside and out to complement the great “monkey curtains” I brought to Costa Rica from Target.
