Fixtures for my Bathroom Renovation

Now that Frank and I are back from our honeymoon it is time for us to get serious about getting the downstairs bathroom done. I bought the fixtures for the renovation a while back and they have been hanging out in my garage taking up space.

For my sink and toilet I bought an American Standard Retrospect Pedestal Sink and a Sterling Stinson Elongated Toilet. In my master bathroom I really like that I have some flat deck space on my pedestal sink so that was a must have for my downstairs bathroom as well.

For my bathtub I bought an American Standard Princeton Bathtub. Originally I was planning on getting a cast iron bathtub but then I thought that the Americast with porcelain finish would be a nice alternative.

For the bathtub and shower fixture I bought the Delta Leland Monitor 14 Series Tub and Shower Trim with Porcelain Handle Lever which I thought had a nice classic look. For the sink I ended up buying Vintage Widespread Bathroom Faucet from Overstock configured with the white porcelain lever handles to match the shower. I love the vintage styling of the faucet and think it will look great on the pedestal sink.

My next step is to apply for my permit with the Ann Arbor building department. After having this project on the back burner for so long I am really excited to finally get going again.

Everything looks great! Love the vintage look of everything. Will you be doing tile in the bathroom?

Hilary- Thank you! Heck yeah, I'll be doing the tile myself! I bought a used tile saw back when I tiled the master bath so I am looking forward to breaking it out again and tiling this bathroom, too. I'm planning on doing a classic subway tile for the shower surround and small squares with a pattern for the floor. Should be fun!

Love your new fixtures! Can't wait to see your progress!

We did all the floor tile in our house ourselves when we had it built 20 years ago, but we've never tried wall tile. We're about ready to redo our master bathroom, so I guess we're going to learn! It's amazing what you can teach yourself when you're young and broke; some skills can come in handy even years later.

Sandy- Thank you! I submitted the paperwork for the permit on Friday so hopefully it will get approved soon. Nice work on doing all of your floor tile in your house yourself!

By selecting the right bathroom accessories, you may enhance the bathroom's appearance and functionality. Previously, the bathroom was solely imagined as a practical room with simple white walls, a bathtub, a sink, and a toilet as its primary components. However, as time has gone on, this room has evolved into a significant portion of the home in terms of style and décor. Modernization of bathroom accessories has been considered in order to produce a seductive impression on visitors; a well-designed and stylish bathroom may give the house a fascinating appearance. A dramatic mood is produced by the right choice of accessories, furniture size, color, and finish. The colors in the bathroom reflect the energy of the people who live in the house; bathroom accessories allow you to decorate the space with the hue or tone you've always wanted. There is a great variety of colors and finishes on the market now that are both attractive and useful for any bathroom. Even the inclusion of modern accents, such as faucet cases or door fittings, may give the whole design a timeless and unique touch. Check out the Home and Garden section of TrueGether, which is the best eBay alternative for such amazing fixtures.

I love your choices for the bathroom fixtures! The right sink is so important as it's a focal point and heavily used. Consider adding some good lighting around the sink area and using moisture-resistant paint for durability.
