Quote from: Sven and Kristi –
Fortunately, we like how the brass goes with the dark wood.  As far as being "dated", that seems to have started back when people were getting rid of the avocado green and harvest gold appliances, which really had to go, along with the shag carpeting and wood paneling in houses.  We don't change out our kitchen every time something new comes along. 
Our problem is that it is nearly impossible to replace the brass bars and faucet in the shower.
Here are some, as our S&B still has them I don't intend to change all my fixtures either.

why is it impossible, you can do anything if you want to, unless you do not want to.?

We did not do it to "keep in line with others, we did it for a change for US"

If we do not like it after a while I will change again to something else. No big deal and very little cost involved.
As our friend Dave always said DWMYhappy ^.^d  ^.^d
I am glad we ( figuratively speaking) got rid of the Avocado green counters etc.!!!

I did ours (once I removed the covers) with the textured grain finish in a mid brown.
Very happy as they now blend in.

Call me old fashioned or living in the past but I like the brass accents. If the coach and I live long enough brass will be the next "in" thing and I will be peddling in style.  I do however love the white quartz floor that the PO installed front to back. One of the many reasons I chose this particular coach.

DavidS, yes they are good and have been enjoying them instead of the Halogens for over 4 years now along with the change over of flourescent tube fixtures (Thinlites) into led strips.

Changed out the old brass vanity lights.. couldnt get the oil rubbed bronze color as they only had stainless, so I painted it and made it the color I wanted so it matched everything else I have going.. wife doesnt like the led color of the light so I might change them out with a lower light output..

Came out GREAT!!!

With the LED lights on

David, these look very nice.  You should try a lower Kelvin temperature LED light.  Warm white is usually around 2800 degrees. Adjust light level with a dimmer.

Here is a very interesting dimmer, I have two of them.  It is a touchless On/Off/Dimmer for LED lights.  Just put your hand under the sensor to turn it on or off.  Hold it there and the light level decreases.  Perfect for the bathroom and kitchen.

And here is a multizone dimmer that you control with your iPhone or android device.  I have one of these too, the dimmer.  Several iOS and android devices as well.

Just what the LED user needs.
