Help save our pink bathroom


Well it seems life has dealt us a card and we’re going to remodel our PINK bathroom in the next month. We know the tile has been falling off the shower wall for a while, but finally our plumber has determined that the plumbing for the whole shower has to go. So, it’s a rip out and remodel -s eriously we can’t save the tile in the bath.

 

We could save the tile in the bathroom, but if we even do a few of the changes we want to (like the sink – seriously it’s 70’s and really really ugly – see photo below) then we need more of it and I doubt we can match it.

My husband isn’t fond of the pink (gasp) but I might be able to sell him on pink and black. However if we’re going to redo all the tile, I’d like new 50’s color suggestions.

Also, to add a curve, we have to do ALL of this on a budget. A small budget. So, help 50’s folks!!! I need direction, resources and ideas!

We need a one handled (required by code) tasteful 50’s inspired bath fixture. I need a sink – preferably with space to store stuff – and I need idea on tile combinations in case we have to rip it all out.

The White Sands: Mid Century Motel – Alamogordo NM

  Night before last we enjoyed a lovely night at the White Sands Motel in Alamogordo New Mexico.

If you’re not familiar with the area, this is a fabulous place to stay to enjoy the White Sands National Monument or the New Mexico Space Museum (which was closed, but that’s
