I started out, all about the 50s. It wasn’t long before I totally adored the 60s. And now, I will do my best to suck you into the Best of the 70s vortex, right along with me. Despite the fact that I came of age — with all the associated horrors — during the 70s, I have to say that much of the design now appeals to me. Immensely.

Cats love pink bathrooms, too

1949 pink flamingo decorative tile wall panel from Mosaic Tile Company
Posted by: • October 5, 2009
These mint-in-box pink flamingo wall tiles from the Mosaic Tile Company may well be the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. They are for sale now at BungalowBill.com. Worth every penny of the $2,300 price. Here is what Bill says on his site:
This HUGE panel by the Mosaic Tile Company of Zanesville Ohio dates from 1949 and comes straight from an estate in Florida. These tiles were never installed. They have been packed safely away for 60 years, looking as new as when they came out of the factory. Traditionally a panel such as this was used as the focal point on the back wall over the tub and shower. But, if you can’t commit to installing this prize and leaving it for the next owner, you can always mount and frame it for moveable enjoyment. Your bathroom doesn’t even need to be pink!
Glass shelves for your bathroom from the Container Store
Posted by: • October 5, 2009
My catalog from The Container Store came the other day, and I thought they had a lot of nice possible solutions for adding storage to a small bathroom. This is always one of our big topics… one of the headaches we must endure living with small, mid-century bathrooms. These glass shelves and brackets look like they are nice quality, and the chrome hardware and lovely green edge of the glass will look sleek in virtually any of our bathrooms, I bet.

Jump onto my etsy.com favorites page and see the things that I have found for pink bathrooms — and bathrooms of other colors, as well. Hot item: There’s a vintage MIB shower curtain — pink with carnations, $14.50 — that is to die for. And, the yellow Mod Squad number in the shot above — not to0 bad, either. Snap ‘em up, someone, please!
