Ideas

Just a dumping ground for house ideas:

Bathroom

This will be the first major project (apart from tearing out carpet) and a total gut & re-do.

I can't decide if I want to go stark and modern or stay true to the era of the house...

• I've always loved console sinks, and apparently they're very 1950 appropriate (the year of the house) Essex Chrome Metal Console Lavatory
• I don't know if I'll have to replace the toilet right now, but eventually I would get a dual flush toilet like this one TOTO Aquia® Dual Flush Toilet, 1.6GPF & 0.9GPF
• A black & white bathroom really appeals to me and pennyround are amazing (and an appropriate vintage) Nemo tile pennyrounds
• Plain old white subway porcelain tiles (3 x 6) for the bath surround and walls

Black and white paint:

• Benjamin Moore Moonlight White (matte): all white walls/ceilings
• 
Benjamin Moore Simply White (satin): white trim/woodwork
• Benjamin Moore Soot (matte): black walls for accents
• Benjamin Moore Toucan Black (satin): black doors and stairs if they are wood under the vinyl
• 
Olympic Knight’s Armor (eggshell): black for bathroom?
• Benjamin Moore Black Beauty (satin): exterior black trim

Kitchen

I don't think I'll need to redo the kitchen right away, but I've always loved apron front sinks or farm sinks (Rohl Shaws Lancaster Apron Front Fireclay Sink)

Good prices on faucets and sinks (fixtureuniverse.com)
