Pink Saturday ~~ Pink Bathrooms

Welcome to Pink Saturday. I've been decorating my bathroom in a vintage/shabby style. I'm always searching for inspiration and ideas to incorporate in my design. Here are a few of my latest online finds.

Sophisticated PINK. Love the soft shade of pink, mixed with white and blacks.

Check out the leaded window and lighting.
Love the pink and green combo, but this bath could use a little (lotta) love.
That's a lot of PINK.... The tiles are to bright for my taste.
Oh' much better. I like the softer shades of pink in this bathroom vs. the last. Check out the sconces. Nice huh? Love the built in shelving.

Not really my style. A bit to upscale, but I do like the chandy.
Like the pink/black combo. Love the floor tiles and the large sink. Walls could use a bit of decor.

If I had to pick a favorite in this line of photo's it would be the first. I love the soft pinks and the sophisticated/elegance of the room.
Pam @ Save the Pink Bathrooms has a fabulous blog dedicated to preserving the mid-century/vintage pink bathrooms. Maybe you have a pink bathroom. Or you just love them. All are welcome and while you’re there, share your pink reveries.

As a child I moved with my family into a house with a bathroom which definitely matched your 'too pink' description! I like the more faded tones, though - it would be great to see your bathroom!

I love pink and black together too!Have a great weekend!! :-)

Amy said...

I tend to agree with liking the first one best.. for the tub alone.. love claw foot tubs. Of course each one is really nice, love the windows. HSP Kris!

I would love to have a pink bathroom myself one day, so thanks for sharing all of the wonderful pictures you found online. Even though it does need lots of work, I actually like the pink and green bathroom in the 3rd photo the best. I think the combination of the pink tiles with green trim is very vintage and shabby chic and it suits me better than the rest.

Hope all is well with you and that you are having a great weekend!!

Kris said...

I agree with you Kim. That color combo is very vintage, which I love. It just needs a bit of character added to make it more comfy. :)

Yup, the first one's my pick too! It looks so elegant. What a beautiful bathroom it will be. Love the picture of the dancing lady on the wall.

(Kris, Do try the cake balls sometime. They really are yummy :-) )

Number one is my favorite as well. Pink and black are so awesome together.

I can't wait to see your bathroom remodel.

P.S. we found some amazing vintage dishware and have about five smaller windows from 1860 that are in really good condition, we should have them finished in the coming week. Your blog gives me such inspiration!

Cool Post! I like the first one! That tub looks like heaven. Happy Pink Saturday. pink hugs, Ellen

Nancy @ La Chambre Rose said...

I like the last one, of course! However, I must say, inspite of your preferences, you have been talking alot about mid-century modern stuff lately for a shabby kinda gal. What's up with that? Are you thinking about defecting? LOL!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Claudia said...

I love the bathrooms and have always been fond of the mid-century style bathrooms with the neat tile everywhere! I grew up with a salmon colored tile in our bath - but I like these pinks lots more! Happy Pink Saturday!

Sandra~Romantique Inspirations~ said...

Hi Kris, What a nice Pink Saturday Post. I enjoyed looking at all the pink bathrooms. I'm with you, my favorite would have to be the first one.

nikkicrumpet said...

Those remind me of my Grandma's pink bathroom....it had little funny fish on the pink tiles...it was always fun to go in there and look at the different fish. I'm with you...the first one is my favorite!

Beansieleigh said...

Oh my gosh... I think I just had FUN looking through a bunch of pink bathrooms! LOL!.. I got the biggest kick, I think from the round little fish tank standing in the second photo down! How CUTE is THAT?!! Hope you had a Happy Pink Saturday, and have a lovely week ahead!

Deanna said...

Hi Kris!
wow, I looked at all of them and the one for me would be the bathroom with the built in and the pretty sconces. I would definately put in a claw foot tub in there though....lol!

Just found your blog when I was searching for pink bathrooms : ) This is a great collection of pictures. I just found a pink sink and toilet on Craigslist for free and I really want to do something pink and vintage in our half bath. Hopefully I am able to get these items- I'm crossing my fingers! If you have a min, check out my bathroom here: http://thetinytudor.blogspot.com/2010/09/powder-room-or-crazy-purple-black.html
It's not pink, but purple and in the same style.
