drain pipe/supply lines and 6-9's off center and console sink?
Comments (3)You can certainly plumb it "as is", but with consoles or pedestals, non-centered plumbing will stick out like a sore thumb due to it being exposed. With the drywall not yet taped and with what only looks like a couple of screws holding each sheet to the framing, removing the drywall and replumbing is an option. But it's a "pain versus gain" thing. How much $$ is it worth to you versus any aggravation that the off-centered plumbing might cause you in the future? Were it my house I'd center the plumbing. I'd not be able to tolerate something that out of whack that would be exposed. But that's just me, and I can do all the work myself. If a vanity was going in there, an argument could be made to leave it as is, as it'd be hidden within the confines of the cabinet. So it's really a personal choice. Your choice of a console is driving you to a $$ repair versus an unattractive aesthetic....See MoreAntiquing shiny brass faucet: lacquer WON'T come off - help!
Comments (30)I know this is an old post, but I just have to thank you for sharing — I was seriously contemplating trying the same thing as you because the faucets I want in unlacquered brass are so expensive. Good to know it likely wouldn’t work!!...See MoreConsole sink with floor drain?

Comments (6)Thanks for the responses. I know brass is on trend now, but I've lived with shiny brass fixtures all over my house for so long I vowed when it was time to update the brass had to go. The more I think about it, though maybe I should at least look at the new brass faucets. It would solve the p-trap dilemma. If I do decide to go with chrome I'll look into Rub N Buff, I've never heard of it....See MoreLinda@icookinmykitchen.com
