The pink/white in our bathroom is good, I think, because the darn room is so small.

My Mom stuck with white, so our bathroom looked newer longer than some of the neighbors. I don't remember when the pink went out of fashion, but don't think it lasted too long. When hubby and I moved into our house I was amazed how much pink there was. Our house was built in the 50's. Heck even the outdoor cement footers had been painted pink. When I started landscaping and pulled dirt away from the base of the house I found the pink. Hubby made it gray to match the color we choose from an ugly dark brown when we moved in.<br /><a href="https://4ccccs.blogspot.com/2021/04/new-shawl-looking-into-future-and-audio.html" rel="nofollow">Sandy's Space</a><br /><br />Looks like lots of work, looking forward to your finished project.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206778360729711890.post-72718795021638158872021-04-05T22:40:13.723+02:002021-04-05T22:40:13.723+02:00That is tile is Definitely "Mamie Pink"!...That is tile is Definitely "Mamie Pink"!! My parents tiled the hallway bath in Mamie Pink tiles with little green seahorses painted on a few of them. There were a few other bluegreen tiles stuck in as well for contrast. We loved that pink bathroom! We 5 girls always looked good in the mirrors. We had a sisters reunion a few years ago, and the rental's bathroom was also done in Mamie Pink tile! It was good to see it again.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128379696456444487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206778360729711890.post-59572664427611495662021-03-30T22:59:57.134+02:002021-03-30T22:59:57.134+02:00I think it might be.
