Today: A reminder that if you are looking for tile-in towel bars, soap dishes, toilet paper holders, and the like for your 1920s, 1930s, 1940s or even early 1950s bathroom, remember to check out the Chandler collection from Rejuvenation. This is “streamline” design, and it’s available in three colors: Black, white, and even jadeite green (swoon.)
Update: Alas, Chandler now discontinued, but I’ll leave this story up for historical purposes. To look for porcelain bathroom fixtures like this, check out my Bathroom category / Hardware & Accessories Subcategory. There are several stories there about retailers who sell pastel and other color ceramic bathroom fixtures..
Hey, Bo Sullivan from Rejuvenation explained “streamline” vs. “deco” to me. Long story short: Streamline looks like it’s moving; like a big old steam engine plowing toward you. Deco is all decoratif…yes, decorative, with flourishes including geometrical designs.

Back to the Chandler designs: I also like this collection because you can be all bathroom matchy-matchy with your sconces or above-mirror lighting. Rejuvenation also offers some chrome bathroom hardware as well, but nothing I’d call notably mid-mod..

P.S. Rejuvenation gets double extra brownie points for using pink tile in their marketing. Save the Pink Bathrooms!
