I love it!, Avacado (or as its now known ‘Wild Sage’) is returning fast. I have a full WS bathroom and its so cool compared to the utility white we are all supposed to love. Forget the old arrangements mix WS with gold and champaign and behold the luxury. However, its now very rare and highly collectable so I hope you still have that classic suite?

l have the same bathroom…….same tiles and all. I got a new white toilet, painted the wall a butter yellow and put leopard accents all over it and brown rug and shower curtain and kept it shower curtain closed when not used. I have a up to date home because we remodel for a living and I have had many compliments on how I kept the older look but made it contemporary.

I run a company in the UK that specialises in Avocado bathrooms (and about 100 other colours), and it’s great to see there’s some interest in them on the other side of the Pond! We’re currently supplying Britain with all manner of retro bathroom ware for replacement and even new installations, from toilet seats to complete bathroom suites, so long may the Avocado bathroom live I say! Brokenbog.com is our website (just to clarify, “bog” = “john” over here!) so if anyone’s got any requirements in the way of old coloured bathroom ware get in touch – so far we’ve sent cistern fittings to New York and Montreal, but we’re still waiting for our first transatlantic toilet sale! Sorry for shameless plug….

I think that some rusty red towels/accents would look good as well. (In addition to my comment above)

I like the bamboo wallpaper idea, retroppo! I also left a comment on the AT post that we might be able to help them find an avocado-colored toilet seat here: http://retrorenovation.com/2009/02/06/where-to-get-a-toilet-seat-to-match-my-vintage-toilet/

Definetly save!!!!!! I can see that wonderful “bamboo” type wallpaper, & then you could take on a real tiki feel. I think some sort of shade of red, maybe maroon as an accent colour. Whites & beiges are the way to go. But please ditch that wooden toilet seat, it is so ugly x

I too like the avocado color. For the next 2 weeks we have a half bath that is avocado. We are remodeling into a full bath later this month. Does anyone know where my avocado toilet, sink and accessories could find a good home?

Ooopsy Elvis. The site did hiccup – we moved to a new server – and I had to cut and paste comments over. Guess I attributed this one incorrectly. Let me know if you want me to delete it or just leave it there as a token to the retro decorating gods (who will be angered if we are perfect)
