In the wake of all the recent pink bathroom publicity, I received a slew of photos from folks feeling the luv. I am starting to go through all the emails, and how can I not start with the exuberant Jamie — and her Mamie pink bathroom. She writes:
Hi!
I am a champion of your cause! I bought my house in September 2005, and while the previous owners tried to hide the pink, I said, “Embrace the pink!” It helped that I already loved all things pink and all things retro.
My bathroom is tiny, so it’s hard to get a perfect picture to capture the essense of pink.
The walls and ceiling are all wallpapered in a small, pink, floral pattern, and the pink tiles cover the walls. I enclose a couple photos that make a good attempt at doing it justice!
Thanks for looking at and considering my photos!— Jamie
No, thank YOU, Jamie. Anyone who gets in their bathtub with their cat is about guaranteed to get on the front page of this here blog. Such a gorgeous bathroom. The wallpaper is a great complement — superbly chosen. And the blingy atomic towel bar escutcheons — the perfect bathroom jewelry. Are those original? Highly highly sought after! Who would, who could, EVER think of sledgehammering this with evil glee? xoxo, you go, girl!

I love the ledge behind your tub. I think this tub is for lingering a little longer than a quick bath – toss in the Camay and stay a while…

Wonderful bathroom. Love that medicine cabinet! Too bad someone has replaced the original sink. 🙁
I have that exact same tub in my bathroom and I’ve hated it since I moved in. Now that I see it with colored tile in the environment it should be in, I begin to see the possibilities!

That is one terrific bathroom – and cat.

no curtains or showerhead for the bathtub – is there a separate shower stall? That was a popular thing to do back then….. and it has been revived in today’s modern master baths after several decade’s hiatus. It looks so gorgeous, thanks for sharing, you are both smart and fortunate ! Enjoy 🙂

Incredible! But I”m trying to think of HOW the previous owners were trying to “hide” the pink – without tearing out the whole bathroom, that must have been quite difficult to do!!!
I think the tile, wallpaper, above-sink cabinet and of course, THOSE ESCUTCHEONS! are picture-perfect!!!!

Love the whole thing! And the towel bar is fantastic!

Get you a wall hung sink with chrome legs and a period toilet and you’ll be all dat!

Tracy says
