Hi Mary – go to the Fast & Easy Bathrooms box. All our tile resources are there. There are blues out there… Good luck.

I have recently purchased a 1960’s house with a blue tile bathroom and blue tub and sink. The tile has three broken at the floor base. Does anyone know where I can find replacements?

Wow! I love to see these bathrooms so well preserved. They were truly built to last, that’s for sure. Also, I love love love the light fixture and bias-laid tiles in the shower! Very similar to those in my light brown bathroom.

I keep hoping that with the shift in the economy and housing in general we will somehow as a society find our way back to the fun details of the MCM homes. The lack of pretentiousness, the complete functionality and the true amount of thought that went into the seemingly most obsucre of features. We can move away from the McMansions and take root again in houses that fullfill our needs as humans and not our egos – places to live and be comfortable with family, friends and pets. With colors that aren’t selected by high end designers and then genericized to get to the rest of Americans so we all have the same palates. Mid century decor makes me smile. There is nothing about my black granite countertops that makes me smile. Or my generic white thermofoil kitchen cabinets. But then, maybe in 50 years people will come into my house and go “wow! look at that countertop & those cabinets!!!” I kinda doubt it though. If someone started a housing development based off of MCM style and function I bet it would be a smashing hit!

that is fantastic! it’s all so well put-together.
and the fold-down scale is in the same style as the recessed paper towel and saran wrap/foil/wax paper dispensers we have built into our kitchen! how cool.

I have a blue toilet and bathtub… the same blue as in these pictures. I’ve been wanting to redo the bathroom because the previous owner tried to modernize it. This helps, thanks!
