Two years of planning. Six months and six days of brain-bending, back-breaking, tedious and careful work. From demo on day #1 until the final pieces were put into place, the epic journey to transform my tired old bathroominto the pretty pink potty room of my dreams has been nothing short of a renovation marathon. But here I am — having just crossed the finish line and now enjoying the spoils of victory. There will be many stories detailing all the details in the days and weeks to come. For now, take the video tour and bask in the warm “glowy” pink of my finished retro pink bathroom remodel. Can you tell I’m super excited?
Thanks duki — I do want a TP holder but didn’t go the recessed/ceramic route. I was hoping to get a vintage starburst one to match my towel holders, but alas, I have not been able to find/purchase one yet. I’m giving it a while to see if one surfaces before I look for an alternative.

I’ve seen some with textured frosted plastic that looked pretty good.

Congratulations Kate looks like the real deal plus you haveplenty of storage space
Kate, your bathroom is amazing, and I am blown away by your attention to detail. I am curious what you did with the original bathroom materials… were any salvageable to sell or donate?
Katesays:
Thanks Amber! Yes, I saved, reused and donated (to my local ReStore) as much as possible. I’ll have more info about that in a later post. 🙂
I must congratulate you on such a gorgeous Mamie pink bathroom! You did a fantastic job and you SHOULD be proud and glowy! I just love it!

Kate-
What tool do you use to put your wish boards together? I have a remodeling project I want to do, and I need to create one of those. Photoshop lite? Thanks.

I just moved into a 1955 home and the whole bathroom was pink and pink tile pink bathtub!

Wow, so excited for you! So wonderful to know everything in there is super modern, beautiful and clean!
(As I watched this, I thought “I’m the only man in America this excited by this bathroom.” LOL)
Cole, you are not the only man in America excited about this bathroom — my husband LOVES the bathroom — especially the large shower!
You are super-talented and did a wonderful job! It looks awesome 🙂
