Amazing pink and blue 1953 bathroom

by pam kueber on October 2, 2009

My Favorite RoomEvery pink bathroom that I see becomes my new favorite, but this one takes the cake. This is all original. Flickr friend froggyboggler owns it and here is what she has to say:

When I first saw my house, I walked in the door about 4 feet, looked around and said, “I don’t know where I am, but this is IT!” Then I walked down the hall and came into the bathroom. That was the clincher! … Everything is original…the house was built (and designed) by Ed & Ella Baugh in 1953. He ran a filling station and she was a school teacher. They did all this crazy woodwork, concrete work and metalwork, too. Every beam & trim in the place is scalloped! … Perfect!

Thank you so much, froggyboggler, for letting me share this.  Readers: You can see more of her wonderful photos here. Other bloggers: Please play nice and ask froggyb. first for permission if you want to use this photo.

Sha-Zam! The scallops are beautiful! I’m building a wood box to cover the top of my drapes and the scallops make it fit right in with the early 50s! Congrats!
