New takes on the traditional look continue to pace the bathroom fixture market.
The look of your grandparents' - or perhaps their grandparents' - bathroom fixtures is back in style. Whether it's another effect
of the aging Baby Boom generation or a wave of nostalgia touched off by the end of the century, it's a given that the traditional
look is back - and thriving.
From recent retro trends in the automotive industry - such as the Volkswagen Beetle, the Ford Thunderbird and the
DaimlerChrysler PT Cruiser - to the television success of PBS's most popular program, "Antiques Roadshow," the old-fashioned
look is hot. And perhaps nowhere is the traditional look hotter than in home furnishings.
