I really would like to replace the vanity sinks in all my bathrooms.
My most used bathroom the "family bathroom" has two yellow sinks
In a nice, natural-look marbled vanity top.

Same nice, marbled vanity top in my small "master" BR--but the sink and toilet
are blue. The shower stall there--which I use all the time--has blue ceramic
tiles with very dirty grouting...by now--not cleanable....

Downstairs--in the BR I seldom use, but guests do, I have all yellow surfaces
with an off white tub surround. At least something isn't blue.

You know--in 1969 when we moved into this house--all these colors were IN.
WE chose them! The builder gave us free hand.....
Now they are all passe--but who can dismantle 3 Bathrooms to update anything.
NOT ME! I simply have learned to ignore any colors at all. But thought I would
mention them, since we are ALL talking about this.

BUT I have to be realistic. There is ONE item I will never get rid of, even if it is
all in 70's colors. My hand-made (took 3 months) macrame wall hanging.
"The Eye of Isis".
When I made it--it matched all the orange/beige/browns wall paper---the horrible
golden-beige W-W carpeting and the old. wonderful, 9' sofa--all in same colors,
which now sits downstairs in the club room. I even re-painted the walls down there to match it...

Now--with the new sofa I bought about 5 years ago--(LOVE IT!) it still matches it...
Looks good!.....:o)
Have to remember--that all thing OLD will be "NEW again at some time...
