Pink tubs, pink sinks, pink toilets, pink tile — “Save the Pink Bathrooms!” #2

vintage pink tub from omega salvageWant to find some pink bathroom fixtures of your very own? Kohler makes a pink that isn’t as awesome as the 50s but might do…. You can watch your local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store and ebay…. or…..

Scathing Jane sends us OhmegaSalvage.com, based in Berkeley, CA. Lots of “colored sets”…very yummy. Be prepared, shipping will likely set you back another $1000.

Jane notes, “I have one of those big square tubs in the new place. WE CLOSED! I just spent the day breathing paint dust while sanding woodwork. More lead, please…

Congrats and thank you, SJ, and keep us apprised of your progress. Send pictures! :)

    Having just been through the experience, I offer a word of caution about buying “pink” bathroom fixtures over the Internet. Before purchasing and paying three or four times the purchase price for shipping (I just bought a bathtub/ toilet/ sink suite for $300 on eBay, then paid $1100 to have it shipped to me!), send the seller a selection of paint chips for color matching! I did that with exactly this set from Ohmega Salvage pictured above. Turns out they are not a true pink. They are pink-ish brown, what I’d call taupe. I went through several sets that were billed as “pink” but were actually taupe. I wanted a true Mamie Eisenhower PINK. I never did find what I wanted, so instead I’m doing the bath in blue and saving the pink for the kitchen.

    Holy smokes! That’s my bathroom! When I restored it in 2002, everyone thought I was crazy to keep the pink fixtures.
