In reply to the discussion: Can one ever have TOO much marble? Trump's Lincoln Bathroom Remodel (yes, really): [View all]peggysue2
(12,281 posts)46. Yes, I'm sure Abraham Lincoln had . . .
A marble bathroom with chandelier and gold fixtures to make him feel right at home. Weren't all outhouses and early water closets decorated in a similar manner?
Really??
This bathroom is so overdone it's downright ugly. Fits the designer though--cold, gaudy, tasteless.
This is what he's been obsessed with along with a Great Gatsby costume party while blowing up fishing boats and getting ready to starve American kids.
Never forget, never forgive.

Yup. Remodeled as though it was one of his hotels--with zero concern for historical style or basic aesthetics...

I realized later I forgot 1 chandelier. I also have one in our vestibule when people come in the front door!

The work looks beautifully done and well maintained. It is very slippery though.

It's a bit much, but if I bought a house with a bathroom like that I would NOT redo it. I kinda like it.

If I had an invaluable historical, Victorian, or other stately old home, I sure would... It is so out of place.
