Just popped by as I am in the process of creating a 1949-1950 vintage influenced basement bathroom. I have no original bathroom features left in our 1949 house. I found the comments interesting!!

MaryJo, search “Franklin Brass” on this site - Search box is at the top of the first sidebar. They have some chrome legs at a reasonable price. You can also look at your local ReStore and sometimes, you can even find old, cheapy versions at a hardware store. Make sure they are long enough - measure your sink from the ‘top’ of the hole for the legs, to the floors. As the legs are not structurally supportive, you can put a a rubber gasket(s) in the hole to provide a little more length - you can also put something at the bottom of the leg to nudge the legs to fit well and also to protect your tile from scratches if the legs move.

Thanks so much for the tips–your site has sooo much wonderful information. I am looking for some chrome legs for my wonderful green bathroom sink–any ideas where I can find legs only?

It appears the walls were a sea foam green before they were painted white. An additional bathroom was installed in the garage, and I think the original sink is out there (it’s tiny, wall mounted with chrome legs.) The floor is a brown-grey marbled color, which I like and will probably leave. The bath has all original fixtures, black towel rods, recessed soap, and toilet paper holder. And Pam, I am definitely getting those samples from Bradbury! I really like the grey Googieland, I think it would pick up the grey in the floor and the pink of the tile. Thanks for featuring my home, you are amazing!

I love the black touches in Catherine’s bathroom. Our tiny pink half bath doesn’t have such detail, but it still is sweet. The upper walls in ours originally were white. I made the mistake of painting them a pale lavender gray. It was awful with the pink. So, back to white they went.

The half-bath in our master bedroom is a pink and grey number from 1961. And despite what my husband says, it’s not going ANYWHERE. Thanks for this entry, love your site!
