Wow! I am in process of updating the 1959 house my parents built. I lucked out with the robin’s egg blue bath off the master bedroom (6-yrs ago, Corian made the perfect counter top to fit in with the wall tile), but I’m having more trouble with the pink bath. The floor has settled and cracked — I would die to replace it with the same tile, which is exactly what is shown here! I’m a novice to the site. Would love any suggstions! The main fixtures (tub, toilet & sink) were never the right color for the pretty med. pink tile. In any case they are damaged — rusting and scratched. So I am replacing them with white. My wall tile is bordered in white, both top & bottom. I presume I will have to replace floor with white, too. Very sad. Half the bue bath’s floor had to be replaced, too, but was able to salvage the tile in the walk-in shower. Ah, well … ! I am so jealous if this bath! Beautifully done.

Hi Pat,
I am sooooo sorry that I didn’t respond to your comment back in ’09 when you placed it. I hadn’t been back on this topic since I left my last comment until tonight. I hope you don’t think I was simply ignoring you. YES! I am interested in chatting with you about your folks former home in Ravensworth Farms! I have been expanding my research into that area and have run across some ads for the neighborhood that you might enjoy. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read your post, and I hope I’m not too late to get in contact with you. All of us Northern VA retro lovers should unite.
Again, so sorry I didn’t see your post for so long.
