My Fond Memories of A Pedestal Bathroom
Bring Back The Past With Your New Bath Decor
Most of us have fond memories of certain items or special events when we were young.
One of my fondest memories was visiting my grandparents home? They had so many interesting and different things, especially since they lived in an older house.
The one thing I loved most was the pedestal bathroom sink and tub which gave their house a regal charm. One night while I was enjoying my bath in their pedestal tub, I decided that when I grew up I would have a bathroom in my home just like my grandparents.
Well, now that I'm all grown up and have my own home, Ive been searching for a pedestal bathtub to place in my main bath. The home I live in is relatively new so the fixtures in the bathroom are very modern and of course, they lack the charm that a pedestal bathroom sink and tub possess.
I was certain that Id have to use decade old fixtures to get the look I wanted. This concerned me because I realized that using a pedestal bathroom sink or bathtub that had been installed and then removed from someones home may be cracked or worn.
I was ecstatic when I found out that I could actually purchase new fixtures that resembled the antique ones my grandparents had in their home.
Definitely Not A DIY Job
My husband and I soon realized that removing old fixtures was quite a task. Do you have any idea how heavy a bathtub is? We soon made a decision that hiring a plumber would certainly be the best approach especially since they offer a guarantee when they install a pedestal bathroom tub or a sink.
The plumber we hired explained the process to us and we quickly realized that in order to accommodate the tub we wanted wed have to install new flooring as well so we decided to have that done first. Plan Ahead For New
Bathroom Floors
After the old fixtures were removed, we chose new flooring and had a contractor install it for us. This decision was made rather quickly by both of us. Realizing that so much more of the flooring would be exposed now than previously with the traditional tub and sink, we chose a floor design that would complement the entire look of the room.
After it had a chance to completely dry, it was time to install our new bathroom fixtures. The main bathroom truly looks great with the pedestal bathroom tub and sink installed. Our overnight guests are always commenting on how wonderful our pedestal bathroom tub and sink look.
As a matter of fact, since they look so good and work just as good as the traditional fixtures that we use to have in our main bath, I am planning to change my master bath into a pedestal bathroom. Of course, without a doubt, I am hiring a plumber for this task.
I just can't wait to sit back and relax in my pedestal bathroom tub filled with warm, soapy bubbles while I reminisce about my grandparent's house.
