Lovely shade of pink. I love those towel bars in pink.

I am taking to him about the tile. Having two large retro pink bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling tiles that I am renovating makes the tiles very necessary. Nice guy; he’s sending me a one of the broken ones as a sample.

B&W Tile does not have the Bubblegum pink I need.

I would love to get the toilet, too, but don’t think its feasible. I can probably find that here.

We just bought a mint vintage 1950’s set of a yellow bathtub, toilet and sink in an auction off ebay. It’s the second bathroom we’ve managed to use recycled fixtures for in our vintage house. I hope someone out there saves this adorable pink one too!

Have you sold this set yet? We are looking for the pink sink exactly like the one pictured. We have a pair and one of them has cracked.

Sam, these were for sale on craiglist a while ago. I just featured them here for everyone to see. Try your local Re-Store/Habitat for Humanity, deabath.com, and historichouseparts.com….You’re gonna have to search, but these are out there. Good luck.

Sam Tortorice February 14, 2009 at 10:20 pm

I am definitely interested in this set. Is it still available. Thanks, Debbie

Sam Tortorice February 14, 2009 at 10:21 pm

I just saw your reply from the first email. I will follow your leads. Thanks so much. Debbie

looking for a 1950 vintage mint green toilet seat for my new (old) toilet. Also, I need to have the beautiful mint green tub resurfaced, anyone know someone I can contact?

Kory Carroll February 21, 2009 at 12:47 am

I am also looking for a Mint Green Toilet Seat! Help Me!

Lois March 16, 2009 at 3:38 am

Kory…I believe I saw somewhere that you can order your mint green toilet seat from either Home Depot or Lowes. I haven’t ordered mine yet since I haven’t taken possession of my new 1950s home. You can also check out colordirectseats.com. They say they have many, many colors and hopefully they’ll have mint green.

I also saw on one of the websites that there is also a seafoam green bathroom. Now I’m not sure if mine is mint or seafoam. I’ll have to check it out further.

Good luck in finding the toilet seat. Leave a posting if you find it. Lois

Hi Lois. Sometime very soon I plan to start cataloguing the exact color-names of bathroom fixtures by various manufacturers. Reader Arne – who is wonderful – has just send me some great scans of vintage American Standard marketing material to get started with. So stay tuned.

Also, please see my latest toilet seat post here: http://retrorenovation.com/2009/02/06/where-to-get-a-toilet-seat-to-match-my-vintage-toilet/

Help! I am desperately looking for a mint green wall hung or cabinet mount bathroom sink to go with my 1950’s retro black and mint green bathroom. Can anyone help?

Karin, you’re just going to have to hunt. See the forum – http://retrorenovation.com/forum and watch your local craigslist and Habitat for Humanity/Re-Store.

I need some pink Stylon bathroom tile and also some pink mosaic floor tile. Our house was built in 1960. I did find a pink bathroom sink to replace the white one a former owner installed. Do you know where to find old pink Stylon? Thanks so much. I want to restore my pink bathroom.

pam kueber June 5, 2009 at 12:12 pm

Jackie, for the plastic tile go over to the Forum and you can put your listing there and see what else is up. http://retrorenovation.com/forum. For the floor tile, see my Flooring Fast & Easy page.
