Because the sink works OK, and gives the only storage space in the room, we haven't considered replacing it. But we gripe that it's just too large for the small room. I now see that these retro sinks give the impression of more space. And the colors of these fixtures! Something like this really could jazz up our boring bathroom, which has none of the cool features of our pink tile half bath. Our full bath has no medicine cabinet -- previous owner probably didn't see a need for one after putting in the bulky vanity! I found a lovely one, similar in shape to the one over the green toilet in Sara's picture. Well, of course, this medicine cabinet just will look so dinky over our big old bulky sink. So, the message obviously is to have a lovely retro sink to go with the lovely retro mirror. I'm glad you keep running posts on the same topics again and again, so that I can finally get the message of all the elements that can come together to really look just right in my 50s house.
