Oh my goodness, Kim has not one — not two — but three of the the most beautiful bathrooms featuring original mosaic bathroom tiles that I’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t these be amazing to replicate in a Retro Renovation bathroom today?
I first heard from Kim when I reposted a 2015 story about where to find mosaic bathroom tiles in colors on our Facebook page. In quick response to my “pretty please,” she sent photos of all three bathrooms — gorgeous shots taken with her iphone. I’ll call the mosaic bathroom tiles shown above the harvest gold, brown, gray and white mix. A surprisingly pleasing color combination, don’t you agree?

Kim fell in love even before the mosaic bathroom tiles

When I heard this house was for sale in my neighborhood, and I new it had not been updated, I just wanted to go see the bathrooms, as I wanted my husband to remodeled mine back to the 60s era. We walked in the front door and I said, ‘I want this house’! I hadn’t even seen the bathrooms lol! Later that day, we were the new owners!
No one has ever pressured us to remodel any of the house. Even the shag carpet is from 1962. The only thing we’ve replaced is kitchen and living room carpeting with cork flooring. The appliances are original and I love using them!
We are the third owners. We had the original owner over last year and he was so happy to see everything still as he had it built.
And above: The rich green mix of mosaic bathroom tiles. Weighing all three designs, I think this is my favorite, because of the density of the pattern. Which is your favorite?
All tucked in beautiful midcentury modern house
Oh, and as if we were not all envious enough looking at those original vintage tile bathrooms, here’s a bonus from Kim:
Here are a couple pictures of the outside!! I love my MCM home!

Wonderful home and beautifully designed bathrooms.

I NEEEEEED to see the rest of this house! THIS is the kind of house Atomic Ranch magazine used to & should still showcase! Original Mid-Century! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!
Diana says
I agree! What a stunning home! So cool to be able to talk to the original owner too. All 3 bathrooms are pretty amazing.
Nikki says
Wowzer! This is fantastic! I just bought a 55+ retirement condo and the older section has bathrooms just like the harvest gold, brown, gray and white mix bathroom sans lovely wood paneling. Sadly a lot of them are being ripped out and “re-modeled”. My condo was made in the 80’s so it has the dark oak wood cabinets and almond/bone flooring in the bathroom.
Kitchen photos would be great – can’t wait to see the appliances!

I love the fun paintings in the bathrooms! Did you paint them?
Kim says
I love them too! A girlfriend did them for me!
Leslie says

I love how the wood and brick warms up the mosaic. I am also impressed by the pristine condition of all three bathrooms. Who wouldn’t love a tour of this house?

That is one beautiful home <3

Fancy smancy baths that are well thought out. I like how the “wet area” (shower/bath) is to the rear. The further one goes the tiling increases until you reach the bath area which is fully tiled. Of course green is the favorite. Wouldn’t mind seeing the rest of the house.

I think all three of the bathrooms are very well done. You can tell quality materials were used when the house was built. The outside of the house is beautiful. Lucky homeowners!
Jennifer says
Beautiful! I want to see more of this house!
