I asked the homeowner if I could have my friend take my picture in front of the house and she invited me to come inside! I hadn't been there since my parents sold it (1475 sq ft - $35,000 in 1973). When I went into one of the bathrooms with the fixtures still soft pink and smooth as glass, she said "Oh we're having these replaced". My heart just sank.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-56047927355653057622010-11-22T12:07:27.315-08:002010-11-22T12:07:27.315-08:00@ Debbie V: You have no idea.

I also don't understand why a pastel colored sink/tub/toilet is out of date? People actually tear these out in favor of some fiberglass monstrosity :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-39516228225169390082010-11-22T11:03:57.563-08:002010-11-22T11:03:57.563-08:00That is quite lovely!That is quite lovely!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-18138784421171785122010-11-22T07:47:54.077-08:002010-11-22T07:47:54.077-08:00YES!
