Even the modest homeowner wants more of them; small houses, which moved up from a single bath to a bath and a half about ten years ago, are now being built with two and 2½ bathrooms, and bigger ones at that. And the rich are asking for and getting bathrooms with pool-type tubs, wall-to-wall carpeting, mirrored ceilings, arched canopies...
