WELCOME TO GinaUSA’s 1960s bathroom. I am really quite in love with this style of mosaic tile — 3/4″ or 1″ squares — and in this case, with little porcelain splatters. I generically call this “Romany Spartan” tile because that’s the company that seems to be in all my vintage magazines. I know of at least one source for tile pretty close to this, still (continue after the jump.) Ooooh, peek at GinaUSA’s door handle, too — crystal. Yes, you can add this bit of sweetness to your house, if you prefer it rather than mod metal.
Here is a close-up of Gina’s bathroom tile. Those splatters also provide a bit of slip-resistance, I bet.
Gina has nice built-in, too.
Want to replicate the look? I found this wide selection, real 60s-70s-80s colors, at S.J. Masters:
And of course, there’s pink!
Thank you, GinaUSA, for sharing your bathroom! I am so happy you love it and are not changing it. It looks to be in great shape. What a treasure.

I love that bathroom and thanks for the tile selection!
Wow….Those are the exact tiles I had on my floor and I’m feeling nostalgic for them……..what a gem of a bathroom!
Great bathroom. Love the glass door knob and the little handle on the cupboard.
I redid my bathroom last year using these tiles and some Ikea cabinets. It looks really fabulous. You can buy these tiles at http://www.cooltiles.com/vidjoy.html. You can check out pics from various reviews online, my own bathroom included! Just one word of caution: glass tiles are very difficult to cut!
gb, the tiles that i am showing are not glass – they are ceramic.
I live in a home built in 1963 in Allendale, MI. Its the same as when it was built in 1963. Kitchen, fireplace and all. I have this bathroom. Same layout, counter, etc, ect just that tile is green, white and gray. Its never wears out.
I have been taking my daughter to a local elementary school for day camp every day this summer, and only today, after seeing this blog entry yesterday, did I notice that the school, built in 1960, has the exact same tile in the hallway.
I put this tile in my hall bathroom in the blue and it looks fabulous. The bathroom walls were still in very good shape, 4×4 blue with a white border, so we just redid the floor and it looks great. Also, this was a stock item at our local tile store and only cost $4.00 a square foot!!
