For those of you who think that vintage and antique are the only words in style, have we got some great news for you. In doing your bathroom remodeling, there are a multitude of providers and retailers who are offering vintage fixtures and bathroom accents, whether truly vintage (warning, very steeply priced) to the newly manufactured vintage “looking” fixtures. (Still a little steep, but not quite as bad.) Vintage is a huge buzz in the bathroom scene these days, and in many ways, that’s a great thing. Recycling and re-using old bathroom fixtures and sinks and cabinets is always a good thing for the earth, for the landfills, and for the satisfaction of the purchaser. There are also a host of companies who will clean and re-surface old fixtures in order to bring them up to snuff as far as aesthetics and water tightness. So you have saved all your pennies for several years, and are ready to launch into your vintage bathroom remodel, here are a few tips for you… The deep claw foot tubs are some of the most comfy tubs out there, and are easily re-surfaced and re-glazed for a gorgeous, modern looking finish. The pedestal sink is one of the original vintage bathroom fixtures and styles, often so highly stylized that they resemble a sculptural element. Believe it or not many pedestal sinks came in multiple colors. Vintage towel bars and bathroom shelf brackets can often round out the embellishments of an heirloom bathroom remodeling. Vintage tiles can be an adventure in and of themselves; with varying colors and patterns that lend an incredible charm to a bathroom. The creativity inherent in the antique fixtures is always a huge draw for them, along with the surprisingly uniqueness of these fixtures and accents available for your vintage bathroom remodel.
