Pam’s Blue Bathroom: Design Features I Like

pam kueber - August 12, 2010, Updated: April 16, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Pam's Blue Bathroom — Features That Turned Out Great from RetroRenovation.com on Vimeo.

When I renovated my 1950s bathroom, you can bet that I sweated the small stuff. In this video — the second in my blue bathroom series — I talk about some of the design details that came out pretty darn well.

    Looks great, Pam! In our bathroom reno, we put in an exhaust fan, too, we found a super-quiet, moisture-sensing fan from Braun that we just LOVE. It turns on when it senses moisture, which I love because you (or your guests or your husband or…) can’t forget to turn it on!

    Really great bathroom, Pam. Great video, too! Who makes the shower hardware, please? It’s just what I need for my blue bathroom retrovation.

      Genjenn, the shower hardware is basic Moen. Simple. Suits the unpretentious mid mod bathroom just fine.

      Also I love the suggestion about removing the suction cup and screwing that holder into the wall. Clever idea.

    Great videos! LOL, I sweat the small stuff, too, Pam, so you’re not alone!

    I think your bathroom turned out very, very well and I really liked the way the wallpaper “frames” the window.
