that will soon go OUT OF STYLE....trust me in 10 years (or less) you will hear the ripping sound of granite, stainless and "all white" being ripped out of countless homes and "the next trendy thing" being put in. Instead let's treasure and preserve our wonderful legacy of beautiful, high quality pastel tilework! I have passed a link to your delightful site on to all my friends and renovation buddies! THANK YOU. 50s Pam on January 1st, 2011 2:58 pm Hi, Laurel, YES indeed, it's a stand in defense of all vintage colors / aesthetic. Pink=emblematic. I explained this to the NYT reporter, but obviously, they cannot use everything in an article. Thank you so much for your comment -- and welcome to our retro wonderland. So nice to have company in this cause! I sent the link the home page to a home magazine last spring that showed the remodel (destruction!) of a pink bathroom. I don't think they printed my letter, but at least the editors know not everyone thought the remodel was an improvement. 50s Pam on January 2nd, 2011 3:28 pm good for you, cynthia!!! KM on January 2nd, 2011 7:47 pm One of the big selling points when I bought my house was the amazing yellow and black tile kitchen; a full wainscot almost 4 feet high with a matching counter-top. Of course the Realtor talked about ripping it all out, How could I not save that 30?s tile, I ask you? Cheers to all
