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.

Yay finally finished and installed... Love the look. Had a modern pedestal basin before bathroom Reno. We have old 1903 cottage and like transitional look. After looking Around we found this old hall table second hand and lots of work waterproofing and coating and finishing and now we are able to use it. I love it!

Hi All We are trying to renovate our bathrooms and after alot of difficulty getting quotes and then getting extremely high prices we have decided to do it ourselves (well what we can do). I will be getting new vanity and basins for all bathroom, can anyone tell me how easy it is or how to change 2 taps to 1? The basin will have the holes for the taps but I can find a video on how to merge hot and cold pipes. Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance Romina

I'm looking for a vinyl flooring, for a bathroom renovation. Something patterned in an encaustic tile style or similar, grey or pale tones. Is there anywhere in NZ - a few found at Flooringxtra, but would like some more options - or suggestions. I would also consider a white with black design. The shower floor will be either in white - or possibly pale grey tile.
