From Nancy’s yellow 50s bathrooms
Maryland Nancy has completed the retro renovation of her 50s bathroom - and it’s spectacular. Nancy gutted two small, worn bathrooms to create one larger guest bath.

A yummy 1959 American Standard bathroom today - fabulous, don’t you agree? I LOVE the vanity - which we have seen before in pink (and which a reader actually told me that she bought!). And that toilet - why did these off-the-floor designs not catch on? Don’t you hate the dust bunnies (or worse) clinging [...]

Here’s Keith’s story… and hey, everybody, remember to make your pledge (a comment) to Save The Pink Bathrooms.
