In case you haven’t noticed - Mondays are becoming our Time Capsule Voyeurs day. As I mentioned recently, my other favorite TV show is CSI, Las Vegas original version. Parade Magazine did a very important story once with a personality assessment based on which CSI you liked - Las Vegas…New York…or Miami. Las Vegas fans [...]

In her comment on SaveThePinkBathrooms.com, g contributed what she thinks “is the most amazing description of a pink bathroom in all of English literature, from A. S. Byatt’s novel Possession.” This gave me an excuse to make a Wordle, fun for the whole family. Thanks, g!

Angela, a new Flickr friend, sent me the listing link to this house in her Dallas neighborhood of Sparkman Estates. $255,000.
A real time capsule and perfect for another Monday of voyeuristic vintage living.

Seems like the #1 issue for new retro renovators is: What to do with my pink bathroom? And I say: What a great problem to have! Mamie pink bathrooms — along with vintage steel kitchen cabinets and 9″x9″ vinyl tiles — are arguably my very favorite things about the era. Not that I don’t have [...]

Hi Pam,
I am selling my 1959 brick townhouse that comes with a nice pink bathroom. The problem is that not everyone loves pink baths. Do you have a link to any articles explaining that pink baths are coming back into style? I would like to print out some copies for potential [...]
Hang around long enough - and not only will your house look good -- but you might get a Ph.D. in postwar social history, too.
