prime/paint bare 1930's plaster bathroom?
Comments (9)Why would you oil prime? Just to disagree or do you have a valid reason over GARDZ which is ideal over plaster. I was just trying to make it easier for the obvious home owner. As you know Gardz is not the easiest product to apply properly and in an old bath( maybe without a fan)the oil primer would lock down residual paste and provide a sound surface for the finish coats. Yes,Gardz is a great product but it is still not solvent based and could break down with sufficient moisture and yes,I too avoid oil if at all possible but in this situation,I believe it to be the best solution,I am now done....See Moreneed advice on how to decorate a 1930's Craftsman style house
Comments (18)Congratulations. Let me chime in late. I have a 1937 home, but it is not a craftsman. There are plenty around in my neighborhood. I did a lot of research into period styles prior to my last round of renovation. By the 1930s, bright colors and lingering Art Deco influences were creeping into other styles. This could be a regional thing, so your area might be different. All of the original tile in our neighborhood is regular square 4x4s, in black, white, pink, aqua, mint green, maroon and yellow. The tile was used in BS, counters and baths. But with Craftsman, as everyone said above, it was all about wood. I love your cabinets and would only add the glass and refresh the finish. But if you did want to paint, white was pretty commonly used (as were the pastels). Counters were usually tile or formica; people now go back to earlier eras and are adding soapstone. I don't know if you saw this thread, but it had a pin board with retro homes.

Comments (41)I've never seen a DW under the sink. Where do the pipes go? I really like the idea of putting it to the left though, it would be less noticeable there. I wouldn't get a panel (not with my lower-end cabs) anyway. My DH said, "Why do you want to hide the fact that we own a dishwasher, is it embarrassing?" One of those things, where, If you don't get it, you don't get it! I am unsure about the vintage sink. I've been looking for one for ages but they all need reglazing. The salvage store sells them reglazed, but I've heard it doesn't hold up. Also, I measured, like Francy suggested, and realized that if all three walls are "fitted" the sink area will be less than 55" and I like counterspace next to the sink. I am not opposed to the undermount sinks (That have no lip?, am I using the right term?) I think they may make clean-up easier? I have seen some pics on here: wilsonb, klb 2000, and vjrnts - they have great vintage-style kitchens with undermounts and soapstone counters. I'll have many questions to ask about maintenance - I probably should start another thread for that. I want to thank all of you for giving me so much attention - I'm not used to it :) Most people I know have new houses. Even those I know in my part of town (the historic part) have brand-new kitchens. Dh is only interested in cost and maintainability. It's great to find people who speak your language!...See Morevanity & sink for 1930s bathroom?
Comments (5)I know nothing about its quality but I have been thinking of this for my downstairs bath in my 20s house. It is really cheap at less than 250.Not a lot of storage but it seems more appropriate for the era of the house. And far less than the one I have been coveting from kohler's memoir line https://www.qualitybath.com/american-standard-0282-retrospect-bathroom-console-table-sink-19-34-w-x-27-d-x-36-h-product-216091.htm?sku=0282.004.020&gclid=CjwKEAiAkuLDBRCRguCgvITww0YSJAAHrpf-0aoNnZmpeVhGEvnUy0LE_87lQ4VAfLbD267suP1AfRoCcoXw_wcB...See Moresparklebread
