Berry of My Life In Sequins contributed the 1,000th photo to our flickr Save The Pink Bathrooms pool. She titled one of her photo, “new apartment.” I asked her for the story and she wrote:
Hi Pam! My apartment building was built in the 50’s and everything has been kept exactly like it was back then. They have 3 different bathroom tile colors — pink, blue and seafoam green. When I found out I was getting a pink bathroom I was pretty excited. It’s so silly that it puts a smile on my face every time I walk in! Taking pictures in there makes me giggle, so the pictures tend out to be upbeat and catch me at my girliest. – Berry
Berry’s blog says that she loves Ikea, zombies, and music. I am getting her address so that I can send her a little prize for her 1,000th photo in the pool. Hmmm, what shall I find in my humongous stash o’ retro for her? Stay tuned. Thank you, Berry!

Elizabeth Mary writes: “My cat Daisy has recently become fascinated with my computer monitor and is glued to it in the evenings. But, this morning, she got up on the desk as soon as I turned on the computer. I thought you would like to see her admiring the your post.”

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!

SAVE THE PINK BATHROOMS: My other little blog got its own retro renovation this summer, with new tile and wallpaper and content, too. This week we celebrate with a deep dive into this iconic mid-century color and why it’s really okay, America, to save your vintage pink bathrooms. Do you want help? (1) Click here to make a comment and “take the pledge” today. And (2) spread the word. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who played along with our Save The Pink Bathrooms week. I actually have two wrap-up posts…but I’m pooped. Above: KittyMommy’s dear.

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!

Every 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: Heck yeah there is more…

So I get the question often enough: “I hear what your saying about pink bathrooms. But much as I try, I just can’t love mine. And, I’m not really into retro. What can I do to tone it down?” Fair enough. Here are some thoughts… Heck yeah there is more…

Here’s another bathroom that says “pretty” before it says “pink.” Liz is one of the original bloggers to embrace her pink bathroom. She also has yellow walls — Valspar Lemon Sorbet. And, that’s a vintage tablecloth turned into a curtain on the window. See more over on her blog, MabelsHouse, where she got in on the Save The Pink Bathrooms fun and reminded her readers not to paint that pink tile. Thanks, Liz!
