Everyone should jump on the modular band wagon
Our current bathroom is quite hideous – for those of you who have seen it, you know what I’m talking about:
- peach walls
- hole behind the light switch
- medicine cabinets with the shelves that are always falling down
- leaking, but unfixable toilet
- moldy-looking ceiling that's actually not mold
- icky and VERY HEAVY shower doors
The list just goes on and on. Sean and I decided that we’re going to gut the entire bathroom as part of our fall home renovation project.
We love the look of a pedestal sink, so we went sink shopping!
It sounds so fun and so easy, doesn't it. Hah! "home renovation" and "easy" are two terms that do not match.
We manage to find a sink that we love... except (you know there was going to be an "except") the basin and the pedestal are from two different models.
I emailed Kohler to see if the parts were interchangeable (one can only hope) and they responded today and said No "...all of our basins and pedestals are designed to fit together a certain way and are matched as such..." Isn't a modular approach more cost-effective for them?!?!
Well, at least they returned my email.

Leave it to my wife to make a home renovation graphic in Visio. Sigh...

Well i suggest that you really should renovate your bathroom with that list of problems :) and i think you can still find your ideal sink. try to look/browse more online and maybe you'll be lucky enough to find one :)
