Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday
♥
You all know I
{Love}
all things vintage and the color pink
the ad above for Kohler bathrooms is from 1958
just look at the pretty pink sink and bathtub
Here is that same bathtub today
55 years later
55 years later
not only is there a pink bath tub in this house
there are pink 4x4 tiles on the walls
and on the floor
There is a pink shower
Check out the light
inside the shower , notice the grab bars in stainless steel and white
the gold gilded towel bars and soap holder inside the shower
And yes there is even
a pink sink and vanity too
The original plan was to try and save the vintage sink and tub in this home
but plumbing problems meant the floor and all of the tile has to be removed
When this home was built in 1958
this pink bathroom was the very height of glamour and style
So excited to share with you just a glimpse of the before pictures of
this Coronado Beach house

I remember having a bathroom fit with pink tub, toilet and sink when I was a kid. Colored fixtures were the thing. Then when Steve and I married in 1976, we purchased our first home, a mobile home, with a harvest gold tub, toilet and sink. I like white fixtures, but those colors were the modern day look, and very special in their day :)
ReplyDeleteit needs some white!! love the inspiration pic
ReplyDeleteThat almost looks like our bathroom except we have green and beige tiles and no shower. Our house was also built in 58.
ReplyDeleteI came across an all blue bathroom showing clients a house for sale but haven't see a pink one till now. I think you are smart in updating it and will love your new bathroom! If you miss the pink...put a few pink peonies in a vase. That will help!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love it and it is fun to look at I would probably remodel it and,if I wanted pink, would do it in accessories. We had a bathroom that was all lavender! xo Diana
ReplyDeletePink overload. I love your inspiration picture, in fact I want to show my husband. I would love to change out the curtain for glass doors. Have fun. Alaina
ReplyDeleteI would want to keep either the pink tub/sink OR the pink tile, but not both, because the pink of the tile and the pink of the tub don't seem to me to be happy together. The tub is more of a subdued rose, and the pink tile is screaming PINK. I love screaming PINK so I'd probably want to save the tile and do white tub and sink to go with. That gold gilding has got to go, though.....
ReplyDeleteI'd embrace the vintage but that me - I also love your inspiration pic. Good Luck with redo! Looking forward to see pics as project progresses. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteLove the pinkness for being vintage it was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the the new look as well.
Beauty now and then!!
