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.
Jane builds a pink bathroom
July 4, 2009 by 50s Pam
Scathing Jane is a regular reader of Retro Renovation. The small pink bathroom in her mid-century Atlanta home needed to be expanded. Instead of ripping out the old pink tile, she chose to work with it. Those are vintage Crane bathrooms sinks she hunted down. Even after she found these for her own, she scopes vintage fixtures for sale on craigslist all across the nation — posting them almost every day on our Retro Renovation Forum for steel cabinets and other kitchen and bath stuff. Jane rocks. Read more about her bathroom here.
