John at deabath.com reports that they remain hard at work on saving the 50’s fixtures. He recently pulled this vintage blue set of 1956 Standard Sanitary Works fixtures out of a home doing a remodel. Isn’t the blue just luminously lovely?

I need a blue toilet from the 50’s. Actually only need a tank for the American Standard toilet, but will purchase the whole toilet if I can find it. Tub and sink both blue and I cannot find a replacement anywhere! HELP!

Hi,
I would buy this set in a minute. We have one bathroom with the set already. Our toilet keeps running. Same one. Does anyone know where to get the parts to fix it?
Leigh Ann says
This is exactly what we have in our mater bathroom. We actually need to get another toilet because ours has started to run off and on. I just don’t know where I’ll be able to find another one unless someone’s doing a remodel. Oh how I wish I could have that toilet in the pic! We love our blue bathroom! =)

There is a toilet for sale on craigslist. Is this close to you? http://cnj.craigslist.org/hsh/1671027700.html

You don’t need to replace a toilet with “running on”, leaking or similar problems. All the parts that wear out can be replaced. Even the “horn” that the flapper seats against can be repaired, in order to save the toilet. You can lower the tank capacity by putting a milk jug filled with water in there and adjusting the fill valve to provide just enough of a flush to get the job done.
No need to replace!

Pam Kueber says
Shez, to start look at JC Penney – they have big pieces at least. I’ll look elsewhere…

I need to replace a drop in basin style bathroom sink. It is an American Standard Regency Blue sink from the 70’s. I don’t even know where to begin to look. I have googled this item many times over the past few months. Where does one look for old, retired colors.
Pam Kueber says
Stellargramma, you are going to have to stalk Re-Store/Habitat for Humanity, ebay, and craigslist (do a google alert search). See this post: https://retrorenovation.com/2009/01/04/the-hard-way/

Hello: I was wondering if you had any luck replacing your Regency Blue bathroom sink. I am now looking for one, particularly 19″ Round. Thank you

I AM IN LOVE!

OMG! I love it. I showed it to hubbie though, and he says no. Dang’t! It’s so hard when you have to compromise. 😉

Pam, you’ve hit the poetic nail on the head: That blue is definitely “luminous”! A gorgeous color.
Amy says
I love the colour!
ScathingJane says
It’s my favorite sink-style, made to protrude beyond the cabinet. And because the Hudie-Ring is intact, there is the option of Formica instead of just a tile-in.
DEABath rocks!
