help for my bathroom

10 years ago

I am currently trying to move to my parents house. Of course the upstairs bathroom is the green tile, trimmed with the black subway tile, pink sink, toilet, bathtub. The sink, bathtub and toilet I can permaglaze but it's killing me me to trash the tile my Father put in in 1955 and it looks brand new except for the color, any help?

A photograph of your bathroom would be very helpful to get advice/opinions.

Play off it -- go with black and white finishes and accessories. Green, black, and white can be retro-trendy...

Otherwise, by best advice is to pretend that it wasn't your father who did the tile, and just update to your own taste. The rest of the house will still be full of your parents and your memories.

I would also suggest accessorizing your bathroom with green, black, and white. I have a vintage bathroom as well and before we moved in, I already decided on rugs, towels, and bathroom accessory colors!

I’m with ACM. If you’re struggling with the thought of removing the tile your father installed and it in fact looks new, roll with it! This look is very sought after in certain homes and it can look great with the right updates and accessories. Think of replacing the vanity or pedestal that stands currently and update your fixtures. You would be surprised by what new fixtures can do to a space!
