I'm looking into the purchase of a home in the city, a home that is nothing but a shell. This presents an awesome opportunity to a crafty young lad like myself. The one thing that I see time and time again in old Detroit homes and apartments are similar tile-work and sinks.

But I'm sure that I don't have the full picture.

So, if I were to create a bathroom in classic Detroit style, what would it look like? Clawfoot tub? Subway tile? Octagonal black and white tile floor? Pedestal sink?

It probably sounds silly, but the bathroom is such an important space in a house/apartment for me. It really can make it or break it a living space.

I'm interested in your thoughts!
