[quote=Anonymous]I'm doing a full reno of a master bedroom bathroom and also a powder room and have been excited about my choices, and felt like I was picking traditional choices that would stand the test of time.  Classic.  However, today I just had a flash of fear that maybe I THINK that I am picking classic choices that will look great in 10 or 20 years but maybe I am not.  And this is costing some cash obviously.  I see bathroom renos all the time on TV and online and think oh boy I think that will look dated next year or it already feels dated and it's new.  Hoping I have avoided that.  But is this all the trend that will appear dated in years to come?

Here's what I did:

Shower:  White subway tile, Carrara marble 1" hex floor, frameless glass door
Vanity:  Antique white wood vanity from Restoration Hardware (master) and Kohl Bancroft Pedestal (powder)
Fixtures:  High end (guess that's relative!) polished nickel solid brass faucet, sconces, bars/hooks from Restoration Hardware and Rohl. 
Toilets:  Kohler Devonshire and Archer
Floors:  Existing wood (master), tumbled marble brick pattern (powder)
Mirrors:  Pivot mirrors

I have done much cutesy or elaborate with the tile or design/layout.  Having baseboard and crown molding match the existing nice quality ones in the rest of the house.  I spent a good amount on what I added (listed above) but didn't spend money on doing any elaborate tile work etc.

So are pivot mirrors going to be uber passé in 5-10 years?  How about the rest of my choices?  I know farmhouse chic is in now, but I think that's pretty classic if you don't overdo it.
