When I walk into mid-century ranch homes for sale, I always point out the selling feature opportunity created by the presence of a pink bathroom. Sadly, the real estate agents look at me like I have two heads. It brings a tear to the eye to know these fabulous and timeless potties are being ripped out and replaced with faux zen in a box. Stay strong! Save the Pink Bathrooms! I grew up with a pink and grey bathroom (mint green in my parents MBR).

I LOVE IT! While I have to tear out the master bathroom due to some major wood rot, I am hoping to save the pink shower tiles and sink to reuse when I remodel it. While my girlfriend would love nothing more than for me to rip it all out, it is staying and I couldn't be happier!

Well the time has come to do some upkeep on my 1957 bungalow. I bought this house because of the style, I love all the retro things in it. Thinking that maybe I may sell in the next few years my grown sons, carpenters & reno specialists were going to do the work I could not. I have the Pink bathroom, sadly none of the tile work. Bathtub and sink remain. After much arguing with my youngest about gutting it, which I refuse to do because I have a wonderful cast iron tub which holds the heat for ever. I decided I will do what I want and if I sell they can do what they want with it! Unfortunately there are no reno-reuse stores here anymore, they started selling mostly new. So the hunt is on, which is actually the exciting part. With each discovery come a touch of joy. Reno season is upon us, so I have printed a flyer to deliver to homes in my neighbourhood, put a few up at stores and put out the word to all I know. As I type this I am soaking the backing from my lino which I just ripped out to see that the original flooring is. Looks like black marble pattern vinyl tile. Here's hoping it is in good shape so I don't need to cover it up :) Good luck to all in your pink pursuits!!! Ahhh ~ I don’t care what they all say!

Today I am shopping for replacements to ensure we keep it just the way it is! After 17 years of living in this house (NJ), I love the pink and black master bath.

New floor (gray/black,) new countertop (gray-black-white,) new toilet (white, with black lid,) and repainting the non-tiled walls (ivory.) I'm also keeping the old built-in cabinets with louvered doors -- I've painted them black. Planning for at least one black-and-white photo poster on the wall. I think it is turning into a French new wave powder room. Sort of like Mamie wandering through a Goddard movie. But would anything but pink tile have inspired me in such a manner? Of course not.

The house we bought had a pink bathroom and I painted over the tiles with brown paint. I'm in the process of removing the paint and returning it to the original color. I had never heard of Save the pink bathroom. When i came across the website it gave me even more motivation to finish it! I don’t know what I was thinking!
