Hi Palimpsest thanks for giving me the names of which Daltile lines to look at-most helpful! The Dal website is not very user friendly and I was able to search by the specific lines you mentioned and get quickly to some options that might work. Thanks! I wonder why companies make it so confusing by having different lines- why not a page that shows you all the field/trim pieces that are avail in a certain color? Frustrating.I didn't know that I could get a cove mold profile in the Dal 100 color-I would have used that for tiling the kids bath (which we just finished-doh!) Before I understood that there were so many different lines of Daltile, I actually went to both the Daltile store and another store that carried Dal but neither had the acanthus tile to look at. I wish I would have at least thought to ask to see anything in the "snowdrift" color, to see what other Dal white color that it might go with. Back I go again. After a visit to another tile showroom today, I'm seriously considering pairing an (in stock) handmade 3x6 field & decorative relief tile from another line I found with the cheaper Daltile 100 chair and base tiles. (Then, I'd get the nice irregularity of handmades but keep cost downs by using the cheaper trims.) I must admit the idea to combine the two was a happy accident: I set a piece of Dal chair rail I was carrying just to compare the scale/proportion and was shocked that the glazes were close enough to go. Incidentally, it only worked with one line of handmade tile that had a white clay body, all the ones with the beige clay had too much contrast. I will check out the Ann Sacks you mentioned, too, thanks. I had the same thought, though, that unless I go with the Daltile trims, most of the pieces in these other tile lines are going to almost add up to the $28 cap/listello Waterworks tile in my inspiration photo! ouch.

I'm building my home as we speak and are looking for the same thing. This has been a real chore for me as I'm used to building my clients bathrooms and budgets usually are very high so selecting the right one is based on looks and quality not price and availability. At my home and on my dime there has been a huge reality check to the way I build and source my product - and my my dear wife has searched her little buns off all over Vancouver. To my great surprise she has fond some American Standard Fixtures that look amazing and period. Hope this helps. Those Signature faucets look really good but in a way I like the American Standard stamp as I'm sure more homes would have had these brands back in the day. We have purchased old school Cast Iron Baseboard Radiators and Cast Iron Column Radiators for the home as well to aid in the age deception, will be installing faced nail floor boards and a tile counter and Island to complete the look.

We purchased this Toto Promenade two months ago, to use in our 1960's bathroom (small, with the original tile.) We wanted a vintage look, and with the round bowl, this model is only a bit over 26" deep, which gave us a few precious inches of more knee room (our tiny bath is only 46" wide!) This was our first Toto and replaced the original 1964 American Standard toilet. We wondered if our 60's plumbing would cause any problems with the new toilet, but it has worked flawlessly. We installed it ourselves and it was simple. Although the water area is much smaller than the old American Standard toilet, the bowl empties cleanly in one flush. We liked the tall, skinny tank since it was exactly the same height as the little farmhouse sink vanity we installed, and the seat is a comfortable 17.25 inches tall. We purchased it online from National Builder Supply and they shipped promptly, it was very well cushioned in the two boxes it shipped in. So far, we're very happy with it, and wouldn't hesitate to order another Toto.

I think it'd go well in lots of different styles. Not all, of course, but I don't think it would be out of place in yours.
