As for the fix...Yes, I was being kind to DEA Bath.<br /><br />As for the fixtures, I think getting that grouping from Main was the single best purchase I've ever made on Ebay. Yes, I got a good deal, but also, I think those fixtures are the epitome of late Victorian style. That purchase set the stage for others that followed.<br /><br />GregGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-10063796421088918252010-12-20T03:42:21.079-08:002010-12-20T03:42:21.079-08:00Hee hee, "the brainiacs down at DEA bath.&quo...Hee hee, "the brainiacs down at DEA bath." You're so kind!<br /><br />Love everything, but I have to comment about the light fixture: I am in awe of the lot you bought from the guy in Maine. Every time I look at lighting on ebay now, I shake my head and think, yeah, but even if I get this for a good price, it probably won't be like the deal Greg got from that guy in Maine. The detailing on those pieces--perfect! On a happy note I found some things at HOAH that are similar. Just expensive is all.slateberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103647633823180128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-70942178765335263522007-04-11T21:05:00.000-07:002007-04-11T21:05:00.000-07:00Marilyn,The color is washed out in the video, but ...Marilyn,<BR/><BR/>The color is washed out in the video, but the walls are actually painted light blue just like the original 1895 walls. That room is pretty much as it looked in 1895. The toilet is a little different, but everything else is literally exactly as it was in 1895.<BR/><BR/>I saw a set of original bolt covers on Ebay a few weeks back. If I wasn't hemorrhaging so much cash on the downstairs bathroom right now I would have bid on them.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-56506319600540617622007-04-11T20:34:00.000-07:002007-04-11T20:34:00.000-07:00GregKnow what you mean about always having one mor...<B>Greg</B><BR/>Know what you mean about always having one more little thing to do to finish a room.

I can assure you. I love that tub. <BR/><BR/>That bathroom was a disgusting mess when I first bought the place, and the plumbing for the tub and the sink was out of commission, but when I saw that tub I was sold. It took more than 2 years before I was able to use it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-68958867384839806792007-04-09T13:23:00.000-07:002007-04-09T13:23:00.000-07:00May I come over & take a bath?

The feet on the tub look similar to a dolphin round-like motif I saw somewhere at some point, but perhaps this is entirely unrelated.JAXTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703081400478334101noreply@blogger.com
