We've admired the use of reclaimed architectural salvage accessories (see Design Sleuth: Recessed Soap Niche) in the bathroom; if you can't find an appropriate vintage product, consider the Graystone Accessory Collection at Subway Ceramics. The collection features reproductions of original ceramic bathroom accessories from the Graystone Manor in Perrysburg, Ohio, that was demolished in 2008. Go to Subway Ceramics for pricing and to locate a dealer near you.
