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

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.
