I was doing a little research on this wallpaper pattern and it brought me here.

My grandmother had a wonderful small 1/2 bath next to the back door that was stacked with Reader’s Digests. It was about 24″ x 4 ft. Just enough for the toilet, sink and your knees. Thanks for reminding me:)
My Grandma had this same wallpaper in her bathroom. She remodeled a few years ago and I saved a big swatch . . . turquoise scheme instead of pink but exactly the same design.

I had (may still have somewhere) an almost matching pink shower curtain with these same fish, minus the treasure chest and plus some seahorses!

We had this wallpaper in my home when I was growing up. It was teal themed instead of pink.
