So I am still looking for a shower curtain that is similar to the one shown. If anyone has one that exact one or is similar please let me know. I am willing to pay whatever it is worth.

Elaine, desperation is futile in such endeavors. Watch etsy.com and ebay and make humble offerings to the retro decorating gods. BTW, if I see vintage shower curtains, I always post them on my ebay carousels and my etsy favorites. So check here daily to be the early bird that catches the worm… err, elusive poodle shower curtain. BTW there ARE fabrics with poodles. See my Osgoods post. You could probably make a shower curtain.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone!!! i sorta wish our bathroom had even more pink (tile up the wall, etc.), but I think in ‘59 they were trying to “stream-line” a bit.
Robert – You are correct… the toilet seat is a replacement. I ordered one from “Color Direct Toilet Seats”. They send you a kit with color chips, and you match it to your toilet, then send them a form with the color you want. I’m fairly satisfied with the match, however it would be nice to find a real vintage one!
Gretchen – Can’t even remember why I initially picked poodles for this bathroom – ha, ha! I have flamingos in our basement half-bath, which is all white. So, you could work your flamingos in with any color =)
Again, thanks Pam and everyone for making my bathroom famous!
Nancy

Hi Robert – I have done a single post with all the toilet seat resources, it’s on the main Fast & Easy Bathrooms page: http://retrorenovation.com/bathroom-hardware/

Hello,

If I see this right, the toilet seat color is a bit off from the porcelain.

I notice because I am almost sure that the porcelain is the same color of my mothers in her master bath. I am sure it is the same toilet. They bought the house in 1973 and it had a white toilet seat and my dad went to one of those have old color item plumbing stores and got one that was a exact match. However, it had a workmanship flaw but that wasn’t too noticeable and that was in 1973.

Since, over the years that seat succomed and we have never been able to get that exact match in one.

Where to go to get that exact match?

Off subject but out of necessity, my mother is going to assisted living next week so within a year our ownership of that property will be no longer. Of course it is a big change and move for my mother so please keep her in your thoughts.

If I can, when it gets vacated, I will try to snap a picture or two of the bathrooms. The main one is gray.

Regards,
Robert

That is fabulous! I like the pink poodle theme. I’ve always had flamingos until my current home which has no pink bathroom
