Just this week I saw an ad on CL here in the Bay Area for a mint condition original Pink refrigerator, matching original pink dishwasher (!!!), and the matching pink wall oven. Selling because the new owners of this minty time capsule house, which they bought from the original owners of 50+ years, are tearing out the kitchen *sob* for a re-do. So, so sad......if I made the laws, this would be illegal :) Love your blog, and read here often, keep up the great work, both inexpensive and expensive alike!

My total comes to $16,461 for two sinks/faucets, tub, tub faucet/shower head, toilet, and seat :) Plus whatever the upcharge is to have Vespa Pink. So, remind me, what bank were we planning on robbing this week? Let me know - Tami Pam – the cost of Swooning:

Bel Air Sink Faucet (Wings!!!) – $1,452.00
Bel Air Console Sink (White, couldn’t find the Vespa Pink Cost) – $1,057.00

Bel Air Bathtub (White) – $2,640
Toilet – Bel Air not found, but other models run $700 – $1,000

So, Swooning over a two sink bathroom will be rather expensive!
