Hi Pam,
I saw this at my local architectural salvage store. It’s a German-made, pink bathroom set, complete with soaking tub, bidet, sink, and toilet. I’ve never seen anything like this one [available now at the] Second Use in Seattle.

Indeed, Alison, indeed.
Okay, this is the last day of my little fixation with retro laminates. (For now.) As you know, I am a devotee of the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern palette, both interior and exterior. So, I have gone through Arpa’s line of solid-colored laminates and for the most part, been able to line up 10 colors [...]
I just got off the phone with George from New York Metals – purveyors of the stainless steel edging to true to 40s 50s and 60s kitchen countertops. The recent question on the table has been: How to bend my preferred “Snap-On Molding” (in photo above) for rounded edges – be they quarter-round cubbies or [...]

Isn’t it great?! …Right up there with the Teacups Chandelier we looked at a while ago. Related Posts Basement bowling alley in 1962 Michigan time capsule house for sale — heaven! What [...]

Typo! Pam, this is in Seattle, NOT LA. Saw this myself this week…. it sure is GROOVY.
It’s my fault for the typo, I’m afraid. I live in Seattle but I’m affiliated with a university in Los Angeles.
Any way you look at it — the bathroom set is an awesome find!
That’s really gorgeous!!! If it had of been in aqua, I think I would have fainted!!
WOW!! That is AMAZING! I’m already jealous of it’s future owns!

It’s European, obviously, but it is also PINK! And newly made !(That tub is clearly not vintage … the hardware is recent design.) So take heart, Preservationists of Pink Potties everywhere, the pink bathroom is making a geuine comeback!
That is beautiful. Why aren’t there things like this in TN? I want it so bad.
Oh
My
Gosh!
It’s a giant flying…
…well, it’s very Feminine.
How much was this set?
