We have an original 1955 bathroom in our home that has pink and brown tile. The brown is more terra cotta than chocolate. We have kept it 100% original. Most of our friends are architects and interior designers and they all seem to dig it. That said, I realize not everyone likes the 1950s retro look. Please don't refinish the fixtures, instead consider selling them on Craigslist, or donating to your local green building supply, like reStore. Good luck.

It may help you to think of it this way...have you seen how many wonderfully designed houses of the 30s and 40s were covered up (inside) by cheap wooden paneling that was popular at the time? I'd advise not to put in anything trendy...it will just get tiresome. Embrace your cool 50s decor.

Look at some websites that have 50's ads. They had it going on back then.....so cool. The future was then. I am not finished with the project so i can't reveal the final look yet. Good luck.... and by the way those fixtures are worth big bucks if you decide to sell them.

Dig it up and replace it. Im trying to convince my boyfriends mother to not put pink in a brand new house for a master bathroom. She has pink in her house and green and thats exactly what shes done with these units and shes not building them. She doing it to her own personal style considering people will have to buy it and they wont now cause of the pink. She think its her department. Modern houses and units need to be base colours not bloody pink got to be kidding me right. pink is the worst colour ever right now. Dig it up and replace it.
