Pinky.

I’ve tried.

For a year.

To like this bathroom.

….

STILL NOT HAPPENING.

….

Maybe more gold is in order.

Pink Lady

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I’ve been a bit stuck for inspiration when it comes to the pink bathroom. I like the tile, but hate the built-in vanity and closet, medicine cabinet and all the old (not vintage in a good way) lights. All are in pretty rough shape and not very stylish. So how do you decorate a small vintage pink and black bathroom? You know, but with mid century flair

I saw the above pic posted at RetroRenovation of a makeover that Real Simple magazine did. Its OK but feels a little Golden Girls to me…

Kind of yummy. Maybe I should just go crazy girly and do a kitschy pink feminine kind of thing

I just want to avoid stuff like this as much as possible…

Bad remodeling and cheap Home Depot updating drive me crazy! Damn you HGTV…thats just UGLY.

OK, what should I do with this pink lady – any ideas?

Towel OFF

Monday, June 30th, 2008

In the pink bathroom (our main bathroom) there was only one usable towel rod. It totally sucked and it seems that a small hand towel was the only thing that could fit.

Here are the holes…I forgot to document the stupid thing before I tore it off the wall. It was glorious to tear it down.

Since there was only that one usable towel rod in the entire bathroom – the Boy loved to hang his towel on the shower curtain rod. This small thing over months and months drove me totally f*ing nuts…below is the offending towel…

I would like to install vintage acrylic or glass towel rods to go with the glass handles I plan to use on the vanity. I haven’t found any vintage towel rods I’m in love with (or can afford) so I bought these $3 “budget” towel bars at ACE Hardware in a fit of rage.

They are ugly and cheap, but at least the towel isn’t blocking the shower curtain from closing now. I was SO FREAKING tired of wiping up shower time over spray…

Yup. This is about the only project I’ve done recently…its a little uninspiring. There was a lot more beer around than pictured.

BEFORE – with towel blockage – and AFTER with a fully closed shower curtain! Hooray!
