Shopping for New Bathrooms

I was scouting out deals for the past few months, and found some great ones!

On a local community board I scooped up two sinks.


The first is an old pedestal sink for the master bath...

It was a bit dirty, but in excellent shape otherwise!  Mike is a little hesitant about it- he is concerned that there won't be enough space on the top for his shaving stuff (which is kinda my point- I hate having that stuff out on the sink counter!)


My next sink find was also on a local community board, but this one was brand new!
It will go in the half bath downstairs- was exactly the style that I was thinking of...

 I'm not 100% sure about the fixtures on this one- might need to swap them out... we'll see!

To go with the half bath vanity, we found this mirror at Lowe's...

I purchased the tub for the master bath online.  crate in the barn.  Here's a photo from the website I purchased it from:

It was my splurge (and I still have to buy the hardware for it, since I want it to match the pedestal sink faucets)... but it's cast iron and I LOVE it!  I figured that it isn't too bad if I consider the money I saved on the sinks!

I'm a little worried about how they are going to get it up there- the crate says it's 650 lbs. (thank goodness for free shipping- wouldn't want to pay for that one by the pound, ha ha!)

The two commodes have also been purchased, but they aren't anything exciting so I didn't bother with photos!

Laundry Room Sink

As we're moving toward getting ready for construction, we're making some purchases (new stove was just delivered!)  and also figuring out what items we already have that we will use.

Here's what we're going to install for our laundry room sink...

My parents had this stored for YEARS in the garage at their old house (since I was a little girl!)  When they made their big move this summer, they asked if we wanted it.  We love it- the porcelain is in really good shape (just a little marking near the drain fixture & overflow holes).  We're picking up some of the porcelain touch-up glaze- we used it on the original sink of our old house's bathroom.

We'll have to try out the faucets and see if the washers need to be replaced, etc.  They aren't in bad shape, so I'm hoping we can get them working without issue!  The drain is looking a bit icky & rusty- so I'll be on the look out for an appropriate match (but I think I'll wait to purchase anything to see if we need to get a whole faucet set).
