Embracing the pink....

Trying to embrace the pink...   We like 1950's California Ranch style houses so when we were looking for house a few years back, every one that we looked at had a least one pink bathroom.  The house we bought was built in 1958 with that one pink bathroom (the other one is yellow).

I decide to head back down to the thrift store the other day to see if that yellow swan was still there...  and it was.  I can't believe that nobody else would want this!


I decided it needed some pink flowers...  there is only one place in town (wallyworld) that carries any kind of craft supplies unless I drive to Elma or Olympia.  So, I went to Walmart to see what they might have.  Surprise, surprise....  they had some pink flowers that are perfect!


Last summer I bought some towels at a discount store, they are beach towels, but perfect for my bathroom.  These are what started my idea of changing this room...  I had a black, grey and pink thing going on. 
I'm liking this much better!


And yarn... we can't forget yarn.  While at wallyworld I had to stop and look at yarn.  I thought these would go perfect in here, but what should I make?  A toilet seat cover!  NOT   (well maybe :-)

  1. My in-law's home not only has a pink bathroom, but also a LAVENDER one... makes the pink seem better! Did you know that President Eisenhower's home outside Gettysburg had several bathrooms, each featuring a different color?
