Ha! 42 hours into my annoying back problem, I am now kind of propped up in bed – able to blog again! New Orleans Shelly sent in this ebay item, which surely cheers me up. Even if you are not in Buffalo and in a position to buy it, I want all readers to note the details – and how relatively easy it would be to replicate this vanity in your own home.

The boomerang laminate is available in charcoal from both Formica and Nevamar … you can now easily do the pulls with their backplates from Rejuvenation. Score a sink and toilet from deabath.com or other salvage shops. Hmmm. Am I notice a growing trade for these ever since we started our quiet campaign to Save the Pink Bathrooms? Thanks, Shelly, this is indeed really beauty!

Found this on ebay and I need/want it but, they won’t ship. Great find if you live close. Item number: 150299290524

I’ve been wanting to send you pictures of the slow progress on my ‘56 ranch but the remnants of hurricane ike caused a sewage backup in my basement 3 days before move in date (thank G-d!). When things settle down…

Hope you’re feeling better.

- Shelly

Holy heck, Shelly, talk about renovation problems. A hurricane beats them all. I hope you and your family are well, please take care!

Reader Anne sent us this wonderful video. This is what I call inculcating America’s youth! I asked Anne to tell me a little bit about herself – her retro renovation story – and here’s what she had to say:

I live in a 1968 condo. I have my Mom and Dad’s Danish Modern furniture! and some of their groovy 60’s decor. Isn’t it great to have family that keeps EVERYTHING?!?!

I am also so happy to read about the counter top laminates, floor tiles, and all the other great information, as that will come in handy for much needed replacements.

I also have to save my money, as my two cats (both!) had major vet bills, so I will have to reno/deco vicariously through your website for awhile!

Such is life, but they are worth it!

From, Anne

Thank you Anne, and snaps for discovering pink bathrooms on YouTube!

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!

To read the complete passage…

“The bathroom was a long narrow rectangle, space saving, coloured like sugared almonds. The fitments were a strong pink, tinged with a dusky greyish tone. The tiled floor was a greyish violet. With little bunches of ghostly Madonna lilies – they were of Italian design – on certain tiles, not all.These tiles extended halfway up the walls, where they met a paisley vinyl paper crawling with busy suckered globules, octopods, sea-slugs, in very bright purple and pink. There were toning ceramic fitments, in dusty pink pottery, a lavatory-paper holder, a tissue holder, a toothmug on a plate like those huge African lip-decorations, a scallop-shell holding pristine ovoids of purple and pink soap. The slatted, wipe-clean vinyl blinds represented a pink dawn with rose-tinged bulbous cumuli. The candlewick bath-mat, with its hide-like rubber backing, was lavender-coloured and so was the candlewick crescent snugly clutching the lavatory pedestal and the lavatory lid. On the top of this, alert for house-sounds, and urgently concentrating, perched Professor Mortimer P. Cropper. It was 3:00 A.M.”

g concludes: I think that description is hysterically funny and wonderful, and you being a lover of pink bathrooms, I hope you like it too!

Long-time readers will recall the fun we had several months ago wringing our hands and beating our chests over the very visible destruction of pink bathrooms on TV renovation shows.

Now, I’ve launched a second site – to serve as a rallying point to call attention to how wonderful pink bathrooms really are.

Click here to take a look… and to join  in a little “campaign” to Save the Pink Bathrooms. There is a spot on the site to make a “Comment” pledging your moral support – and while you’re there, by sharing your pink bathroom memories. Thank you!
