If you are looking to keep the "period" look, then I say no. My place is from 1916 & had a gross 1980's reno. I ripped out all the ugly vinyl floor & cheap Sears sink & went with a black hex floor, white subway, dark grey grout on both. Toilet & tub were original, but I got an old "Standard" wall mount sink with chrome legs & towel bars & an antique medicine chest, light fixtures & glass shelving & towel bar off Ebay. My total job...about $5k. Help my tile guy is my neighbor, but those 10, 15, 20k bathrooms were out of the question.

Do you see marks( caused during the manufacturing process) in the glass at certain lights .

We are wanting to replace our splashback but we are not sure if it is possible....our current splashback is backpainted glass, securely glued onto the wall and a line of silicone sealing it to the rangehood - would removing it wreck the wall behind it? Would we need to remove the rangehood too and replace the Gib board behind it? If anybody has done this I'd love to know what is involved.

My new kitchen will be light grey cabinets, white and grey stone bench tops. My current dining table is a clear glass top, black leather chairs with chrome legs/framing. I love these gold polished glass pendants for over my island bench but will they look okay with my dining suite or is it too different? I can go for the grey glass lights but they are quite opaque during the day.
