This is the shower.
And now for the current pics. We found a pink toilet and sink at a used building supply place for real cheap.
The yellow tile we also found at the same place. The black tile as well as the floor tile we got at Home depot.
The shower area. Not much has really changed to it. Good cleaning. Took out the handicaped bar, and took off the old shower door. We have a new shower door to reinstall but thats the only thing left to do.
CRAZY MAN CRAZY!!!!!!!
This renovation gets a perfect ten on Pat's vintage meter. My favorite part of the bathroom is the sink and the toilet (insert your own joke here), they are a very striking shade of pink/coral. What a great job, no wonder you are so proud of it....PAT COFFEY

Beautiful!
And it just goes to show you that sometimes a remodel means putting BACK the vintage stuff that so many home designers would trash! The bathroom looks great restored to its former glory! Congratulations!!

It looks great! One of the few remodels that has actually left the room looking better. But then, I hate the usual remodel of "let's rip out the fun vintage stuff, and replace it with cheap, ugly Home Depot junk!"

Nice Job!
I really dig the tile work there, as well as the colors. It's nice to see that people still appreciate "the old". My Grandfather had one bathroom in yellow & green tiles, and the other in blue & white, both in pristine condition like it was recently installed, instead of 1960. Needless to say, the new owners of the house tore out the tile & put in standard drywall and vynil flooring just because they didn't like the color scheme. Their loss, IMO.
Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done. Our house still has its original 1958 bathrooms with the same style tiles and tile edgings, the little six sided floor tiles etc. I'm not too partial to the cabinetry in ours and would like to improve only that one day.. I'd be scared of cracking a tile though LOL. Still I like it the way it is but I know when the day comes we leave this house the next owners will probably have them gutted before they move in.
Hey Justin,
The bathroom looks great. The toilet and sink look to be American-Standard Corallin, or Venetian Pink. Difficult to tell for sure from the pics. There should be a manufacturing date stamped into the fixtures, inside the toilet tank and lid, and on the bottom of the sink. Corralin was disc. sometime mid to late 50's when Venetian came out. My old bath was A-S Ming Green, installed when the house was built in '52. Kept the tub (being stored in bsmt. for now), but the sink was cracked, so it was tossed. Toilet had been replaced sometime around '90 when one of my mom's overweight friends leaned back while sitting on it, and it broke where the tank connected to the bowl. Ming was disc. upon the introduction of Surf Green, sometime around '58. Like the tilework in yellow, black and white, too. I'm getting ready to pick out tile for my baths in the next couple weeks, and want to use more than one color.

The original bath in my home is similar: tiled shower stall, pink tub, pink toilet, pink sink. Except along the way someone decided to "upgrade" the sink, and replaced what was probably a pedestal sink with a vanity sink... which is nice for storage but doesn't match the rest of the bath (except the sink bowl is still pink).
Someday I'll try to find another pedestal sink to replace the vanity abortion. Then the wallpaper will go, and maybe even the full width tile-to-ceiling mirror over the bath. It looks ok but is probably an earthquake disaster waiting to happen...
