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. Posted by Lucas Pearson. Posted In : Business

floods and other damages caused by water,
