Little pink bathrooms of the 1950s
According to data released by Zillow, if you own a home in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, it's likely that it was built between 1950 and 1959. Live in Delaware? You're probably living in the 90s. Or at least your house is.
Rather than examine the boatload of mid-century modern beauties (see more here) on the Philadelphia market, we wanted to take a look at the other end of the spectrum: pink tile bathrooms.
If you're not familiar with Save the Pink Bathrooms, the site is dedicated to love of the Mamie Eisenhower-induced design trend. They also feature this plum quote from 1958 Electrical Merchandising magazine, which should end the debate on how to decorate your bathroom right now: "If forced to pick one color as leading this year, most industry men say pink is tops."
