[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 1870s stone farmhouse. I'm renovating with subway tile for the shower surrounded by Restoration Hardware stuff (polished nickel fixtures and their antique white casement vanity). Hoping it looks nice and fitting of a great house. No way those big brown tiles would look appropriate in my house (not that I like them anyway; agree with the Hyatt/Marriott comments). I absolutely love Crisp Architects stuff on Houzz. Wish I could achieve that look without an amazing architect and designer and fat cash. But to me, that's classy. [/quote] Most people want their bathrooms to look like a hotel resort. But that's not for you because you bought an old farmhouse. Hence the market for farm houses is small.[/quote] What does a hotel resort bathroom look like to you? There's a huge difference between a fancy hotel resort/upscale boutique hotel bathroom and a standard Marriott etc bathroom. The brown blob is the latter at best. Moreso what'd you find in an Erickson Senior Living home. PP was saying she picked a bathroom fitting for her house, not that historic farmhouses have an overwhelming market idiot. We should be so lucky as to have more historic houses than cookie cutter Ryan homes. [/quote] Maybe if you need to get off your pedestal and realize to many a marriott or a hyatt or hilton is a nice hotel. Sorry we don't all go to 2000 dollar a night hand built historical boutique hotels after our trip to turks and caicos for mother's day weekend. And yes most people are looking for that ressot hyatt or marriott look as a minimum. [b]"We should be so lucky as to have more historic houses than cookie cutter Ryan homes."[/b] Who is "WE"? Most people including myself are more than happy to get rid of the mish mash of old crappy high maintenance homes in favor of new HOA developed homes. We each have difference preferences no need to bad mouth another.[/quote]
