I love, love, love my old pink bathroom! In fact, I just hosted a wedding shower in a “Retro Housewife” theme and everyone said that they thought it was cool. I will never tear out anything from it! Save the pink bathrooms is so right. Shere

Bravo to you for leading the charge to save the pink bathrooms. I have a 1930′s pink and black bathroom that I LOVE. I wouldn’t trade it for a boring beige and travertine bathroom ever. I also have an absolutely charming pale yellow vintage tiled kitchen (tiles are floor to ceiling with wonderful tiled archways to the breakfast nook and fridge nook), the craftsmanship is amazing. I am having to relocate for work and I am in the process of looking for another home with a pink bathroom. It makes me so sad to see all these old homes that have been remodled to the point that all their charm is lost. Hopefully I will be able to find another untouched vintage beauty. Wish me luck.

The make-over is OK, but totally unnecessary. The original pink bathroom could have been made glamourous with some “corrections:”
1. The wallpaper was too much.
2. The shade of the gray tile is wrong. It’s got just a tinge of green, which clashes with the pink fixtures.
3. The shower curtain is the wrong shade. How about one of those plastic folding shower doors?
4. What’s with that white trim at the base of the tub?
Losing the sink, vanity, faucet & mirror were a crime that should be prosecuted!
