Glamorlux Nancy’s pink poodle bathroom
July 4, 2009 by 50s Pam

Glamorlux Nancy was one of the first Retro Renovation readers to show off a vintage pink bathroom that she had embraced wholeheartedly. Her theme: Pink poodles, how appropro. “Two years ago,” she says, “when we were house-hunting, the pink bathroom (and other original 50′s features) is what sold us on this particular home!” Her bathroom is an all-time favorite — with readers writing me regularly to ask, “Where can I get a shower curtain just like that?” Sorry, folks, no straighforward answer on that one. You’ll have to hunt it down vintage. But send out kind and patient vibes, and the retro decorating gods may well send one your way. Read more about Nancy’ bathroom over on Retro Renovation.

Michael, pink procrastinator





















I am buying my first home and the main bath has the same pink tub, toilet and tile floor
but it is my sons(6yrs old) bathroom, I like it but he don’t and i don’t want to change it what should i do?
Marie, that bathroom will be there long after your son. I say, work with him to paint and decorate it with accessory colors — gray maybe — that “play down” the pink. But, why gut it? $$
I absolutely love your pink poodle bathroom!!!
I grew up with a bathroom that was done in blue & white tile, and it had this gorgeous flocked poodle pattern adorning the walls – I loved it!!
Yours looks FANTASTIC!!!
I recently bought a 1939 Tudor Cape house and I have a pink bathroom that I love. However, there is one problem. While the tub and sink are a very dark pink, the previous owners replaced the toilet with one that is pale pink. I would like to have the same color of pink for the tub, toilet and sink. Where might I find the very dark pink…almost magenta toilet?
hi pat, sounds great — the first place i point folks to is: deabath.com. they advertise on my site. tell ‘em i sent you… if they cannot help you i am sure they will give you some other pointers… good luck!
Hi! Our house was built in 1952. Our bathroom has pink tiled walls with the burgendy trim. We also have the same pink tiled floor as Nancy. Nancy do you have any advice on what to use on the tile floor to clean it. The floor never looks clean to me. Any advice?
I have been looking for this exact Pink Poodle shower curtain.I want to put it back into our childhood 60′s pink bathroom.
Cannot find it anywhere so far.
Where can I find this poodle shower curtain?
it’s vintage, Lisa — you need to stalk ebay and watch for another one. they do come up….
We have the same pink mosaic tile pattern on the floor in our bathroom. I want to keep it but it looks very dated and worn. Any suggestions for cleaning and restoring the tile, without replacing it?
