(No pun intended.) I've had my pink bathroom since 1955 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I also have the same small pink and white tile on the floor. It needs re-grouting, which we will do but still looks good. Georgene Birchett My daughter just found your site, and I am tickled Pink!!! (No pun intended.)

(I have a lot of promised posts to do, argh!) Meanwhile: I'd recommend that you look to the Sherwin-Williams Suburban Modern interior palette (see my Paint Color category) for paint to coordinate with pink tile. If you want white, I'd start with the Porcelain. If you do go for white paint, I'd also advise, that you add artwork and rugs in a nice strong color of about the same intensity as the pink in order to balance and punctuate it. Another idea: Wallpaper. If you can swing the cash, look at Bradbury & Bradbury's new line. There are a couple with pink elements that would look smashing. Alternatively: Hunt all over Lexington for vintage paper - you probably don't need very much for a powder room. Something with grey and a bit of pink and even aquamarine would be awesome, I bet. Even consider an ad in a Shopper maybe? Or ask longtime wallpaper stores whether they have any squirreled away. I got mine for $3 a roll!

I love it, but visitors often say, You are going to get rid of that pink tile, right? What do they know? The upper walls were white, and I painted them with a Brehr color called Moondance. I thought it would be a soft gray, but it has too much lavender in it, and is too cool. It is not flattering to the warm pink tile at all. So, what is a better wall color -- cream as in the photo? (Our tile is just pink, and the tile soap, cup, and toilet paper holders are white. No black or any other color trim.) Our full bath was renovated at some point, and has no tile. Someday, maybe we can tile it. Our half-bath has pink tile similar to what is pictured. I love it, but visitors often say, You are going to get rid of that pink tile, right? What do they know?
