Reader Russell also has recommended Locke Plumbing for hard-to-find toilet replacement parts. Apparently they have a good system to identify the exact parts you need based on the brand and model number – it worked spectacularly for him, he reports. Here’s the link to Locke Plumbing’s toilet part guide. Thank you, Russell!
Meanwhile – isn’t Kelly’s bathroom great? She has not moved in yet and gearing up to use tips from the site to clean up her tile. In particular look at the shower – real leaves are laminated into the plastic. And this is one of the first examples that I have seen of a full-sized walk-in shower. I like the way the floor pan is set – the way they handled the tile. Thanks for sharing, Kelly – we look forward to seeing more of your house.

Fabulous bathroom Kelly! Our rental house has the same type of faucet whose handles had been cobbled back together with some questionable parts that really didn’t work. We talked to our plumber about what we wanted and he was able to find some handles and interior parts for the faucet. I think we paid $60 per handle but they look original. Absolutely worth it. Our plumber, Dean, is out for a couple of days but I can call him next week and find out where he got the handles and other parts. Alternately, you can call Dean at Abbott Plumbing in Las Vegas. You can tell him I suggested you call. He works on both of our houses and so knows us well.
Pam – Very nice sink. Do you know whether the marble counter top is original?
Congratulations Kelly, how exciting! If I were your Realtor I’d find the perfect towels to go with that marble. Show us the rest of the house when you get a chance!
Update!
Pam – Deabath helped me soooo much! The bathrooms do have all Crane fixtures.They were great and found me the parts that I needed.
Greg- As far as I know the marble is original. The other pink bathroom has the same sink and marble countertop.
Thanks Heidi and Sara! It is still a work in progress, but I hope to send some new photos soon!
