Kate’s Mamie pink master bathroom is finished — video

Kate - Updated: November 4, 2020

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

Kates-bathroomTwo 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 bathroom into 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?

    Gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! The hardware looks so fabulous, and gives it some extra sparkle. And very impressed with you built in vanity. Everything looks perfect!

    Well done, you must be so happy to finally have your vision a reality! Congratulations, Kate!

    Congratulations! I’m glad you took your time and put your own signature touches on the bathroom. You have captured the vintage feel and look. It was a long journey, but worth the effort.

    I couldn’t help thinking of the song lyrics:

    She turns herself round
    And she smiles and she says
    ‘This is it’
    Pretty in pink
    Isn’t she?

    Kate, I am so impressed with the original look of the bath, your use of vintage materials as much as you could, and your ability to actually redo it yourself! Marvelous job! You done good!
