Pedestal Sinks at Salvage One

If you're redoing a bathroom, don't discount second-hand fixtures. You can get well-made pieces and/or good deals if you salvage pieces that might otherwise go into the dump. There are a few places in Chicago to scout vintage bathroom items: Murco Recylcing, Urban Archeology, and Salvage One among them. Some examples of pedestal sinks spotted at Salvage One below...

Our first bathroom renovation in our first house (which was from the 1920's) used all-salvage pieces: sink, claw-foot tub, taps, railing, everything. I love the vintage pedestal sinks -- I think they have a more pleasing quality than brand-new ones. It was a really fun project, and we were able to work with people who were passionate about the products.

beware of salvage one- these guys have a complaint list a mile along with the better business bureau. chances are you'll be buying a consignment piece and the owner of the piece will never see a dime. I can't stand thievery... it's not like the owner is stealing to put bread on the table for starving children. It disgusts me. If you live in Chicago, there are much better places to shop. Please, look elsewhere.

How do you make a wall sink with exposed pipes look like a pedestal sink? OR any good ideas on how to hide the pipes?
