[quote=Anonymous]Re tension between "period correct" and updating that a PP mentioned, I'd draw the line elsewhere. I don't make irreversible changes (or hard-to-reverse changes) like ripping out original fixtures and finishes unless there's a compelling reason. But if the original fixture is already gone, I don't have a problem putting something modern in style in. (In fact, I personally like the contrast between original architectural details and minimalist modern furnishings.) So I'd say if the Victorian bathroom no longer exists, you can put in whatever you want. Not a Home Depot fan at all, but there's probably a fabulously expensive vessel sink from some specialty store that would look beautiful. I have only two walls of original tile remaining in my 1912 bathroom, with no other original elements. I'm not sure what to do with it, actually, because it goes against my grain to remove it and start over, and any alternative is never going to look "finished". [/quote]
