Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.
I was doing a little research on this wallpaper pattern and it brought me here.
What can I say, I’m the overly-sentimental type. “Grandma’s Bathroom” defines a less-complicated time in my life . . . I’d like to hold on to it as long as possible.

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!

Precious! I would not have been able to keep a “poker face” during the real estate negotiations!

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