95 colors of pink bathroom tile

July 4, 2009 by 50s Pam

If you think pink is a *limited* color, think pink again. At World of Tile — a time capsule tile store that we discovered in Springfield, N.J. — but which is now closed — I counted 95 colors of vintage pink bathroom replacement tile. See our Bathroom Help / Tile category on RetroRenovation.com for suggestions on where to search for new or replacement tile.

    Clay Squared in Minneapolis has new pink tile (and other mid century pastel colors), including many of the corner and trim pieces. They’re terrific to work with, and shipped our pink tile within days. 612-781-6409, http://www.midcenturytiles.com. Good luck with your project!

    Does anyone know if World of Tile will ever reopen? Their website, http://www.worldoftile.us, states “We will be closed during the move to our new Monmouth County location. Check back again for our Grand Opening details.”

    Craigslist is usually where folks sell these, I think. Be sure to Renovate Safe!

    I was wondering if someone can give me any information of where I can sell two fully working and functional 1953/54 Standard pink toilet and a 1953/54 blue toilet I also have a good deal of sink pink and blue tiles. I am in the process of renovating a newly acquired home and I know that there is a market for these items but I do not know how and where to sell them.

    Many thanks.

    I shopped everywhere first, then I made calls to tile shops and still came up empty.
    Pink tiles, older building, black toothbrush holder 4.25″
    Did a websearch, found this site.
    they said they have the piece.

    If Chippy’s there I’ll say, “you Rock!”
