1960s laminate: A short history from Wilsonart 
I want to purchase a pink toilet (light or medium, but REAL pink, not beige-like pink. Small sink too if possible. Where can I find a retro supply place with functioning toilets? I’ve spent hours on the Internet (inc. this site) with no luck as to where to purchase these. Everything is white, or maybe some shade of beige or grey. If I wanted white, I’d go to a hospital! Help!! My husband and I live in the Bethesda, Maryland-Washington, DC Metro area. Surely every bathroom supply warehouse didn’t throw all of these fine surplus products into a giant rubbish heap.
Thank you,
Beverly Eakman
