Decorating Your Pink Retro Beachy Swan Themed Bathroom

What Would You Put in a Retro Beachy Bathroom?

Think pink......pink and black...and swans.... oh my...my mother in law has a pink and black bathroom. While some people are "upgrading" their "dated' bathrooms, plenty of cool chicks and others are returning to a retro beachy look. I say beachy because I LOVE BEACHY! My idea is to use the pink and black as a guide and to add the whimsical retro vintage accessories and collectibles.

1950's Pin and Black Bathrooms

What could be more fun than pink tiled walls, black counters and floors and darling black hand towels. So deliciously fifties. And how about swan themed wallpaper? (Try Hannah's Treasures Vintage Wallpaper ). By the way, Marilyn who owns Hannah's treasures has hundredths of patterns of older wallpapers. I showcase many of her papers in my book, Hot Cottage Collectibles For vintage Style Homes.

Using Vintage Swan Planters In A Variety of Ways

And don't forget the ceramic pottery planters of sea shells, pelicans and of course swans. The wonderful thing about swan planters is that you can use them for so many different things besides plants. They make charming jewelry and trinket holders or practical places to keep your soap. Also try rolling up smaller towels and placing them in a swan planter. Look how nice the swans looks all together. Wouldn't it be sweet to create a collection of swans on a cute shelf in your retro beachy bathroom?

Metal Vintage Bathroom Acesssories

You could really have a great time, creating your pink and black bathroom. There are also plenty of vintage metal accessories available such as tissue holders, waste paper bins, hampers, shelving etc.
