Caroline Leopold on November 27th, 2009 10:35 am I'm in the midst of buying a small Philadelphia rowhouse with a pink (and pale green) bathroom. The pink sink is in dire need of replacement and after seeing this site, I am edging toward retaining the pastel character of the bathroom. tm on November 28th, 2009 5:43 pm In 1954 my family moved to a lovely new home in the Philadelphia suburbs. The house was fabulously beautiful. My quilted rose wallpaper looked wonderful next to the Mamie pink and maroon bathroom. All the fixtures in the bathroom were maroon which made the pink glow with extra warmth. Alas, in 1964 the maroon toilet seat broke and my folks were not able to find a replacement. So they installed a low slung vented pink toilet and a lovely pink sink. The shower was tiled and did not present the same problem. The modern pink toilet provided endless hours of amusement since the handle pulled out to vent causing lots of noise but no flush. To flush one had to push the hidden handle in. My folks lost guests for extended periods in the bathroom on many occasions. Finally, children were given the task of lurking near the bathroom to explain the wonders of the commode to unsuspecting visitors. How oh how could anyone gut a room with so many amusing stories. The bathroom remained intact while it remained in the family. 40+ years of the amazing and sneaky pink bathroom. How popular
