    The description of a princess vanity doesn’t quite do it – I’d say more like Queen Bee! “Majestic” piece, thanks so much for sharing the fun!

    Sumacsue – Yep, there is storage… Here’s the description: “Pink and white 4′ vanity with curved side doors and center drawer. Backsplash has a built in cupholder, metal tissue box, and two sliding glass doors for storage. Mirror has cabinets on both sides. Additional door on top of mirror has ability to hold a light (needs a hinge.) This is a princess vanity. ” Very cool… I’m tempted…

    I’m wondering if that massive mirror frame might contain some storage areas on the sides — say, for rolls of toilet paper? And that slanted area above the sink looks like it contains more storage and maybe even holder for a box of Kleenex. Then there is all that storage down below. OK, so it is really, really, different. But, it does offer a lot of storage potential! (For the wine and wafers?)

    I like it! But I would probably remove the mirror surround, too, and put up those cool vertical sconces like one reader showed in their bath remodel (Lawrence someone??).

    PSS, if one used it as a prie-dieu, I fear one might have a distracting view of one’s cleavage or below-the-belt area courtesy of the lower angled mirrors! Not too good for praying!

    Yes, I knew it reminded me of something! You could practically say mass at that thing. It really is the mirror surround that I object to. The vanity base is not that bad, and I agree it is more art deco than anything else.

    Pam, you’re absolutely right; it’s gorgeous. It’s so over-the-top that it really needs a homeowner with a sense of adventure (and humor). It’s got a Greek goddess feel…don’t you think? And I agree with Palm Springs Stephan, it’s definitely “deco” in that weird 1950s interpretation of deco. Pam, please let us know if you find out if this has sold and what the buyer’s plans are for it. Inquiring minds…

    An explosion of pink Formica! It is indeed “interesting,” even “amusing.” And now that Femme1 mentions it, I can definitely see ecclessiastical overtones in it … all it needs is water in the basin and a few red votive candles and you’ve got a combination baptismal font / pre-dieu. Just toss an Our Lady of Guadalupe statue in front of the upper mirror and voila!
    But this “lovely” installation appears more Deco than Mid-Century Modern, at least to my eye. Bow fronts, slanting angles, lots of mirrors, overstated … it’s “The Women” (original version) meets “I Love Lucy.” I know we are all about Saving The Pink Bathrooms, but there has to be a limit …. doesn’t there? Save the vanity base, trash the massive mirror surround.

    Wow…interesting! Sort of an ecclesiastical feeling there, eh? As a Catholic kid, we used to play priests and nuns a lot; this vanity would have been perfect for a pretend altar!!

    Good God that’s hideous! I love retro, and I love pink bathrooms, but that thing is ridiculous. Nice, classy tile work on the wall, though…

      Bsmet, “hideous” not allowed here! “Interesting” … “Creative” … “Majestic” = better! 🙂 You have to admit, this belongs in a 50s museum!
