We Want to Relax in This Golden Bath That Rolls Out the Window Into Nature

We’re a pretty satisfied bunch, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t covetous. Sometimes we see things out there that we just must have. Cool Things We Want is an archive of those earthly desires.

Felix said: “We saw the hotel room on the internet, we instantly knew that we had to stay there for a night.

Rub-a-dub-dub.
