The ultimate in mid-century bathrooms

Again, I've let far too much time pass since my last post. It's hard to believe I found time to post daily for five years. But that was then...when I was living alone...and this is now. Being part of a busy multi-generational household with a daughter whose job keeps her on the go and two grandsons, ages six and seven, who keep me on the go, I seem to have put the blog on the back burner.

However, sometimes things come my way that are just too good not to post. Candace Ramirez, public relations manager for Estately, found my blog a couple of years ago, and she's always thoughtful enough to share amazing mid-century homes with me. This time, she sent me a link to a house in Los Angeles with a bathroom that will make the "pink bathroom crowd" (You know who you are!) swoon with delight.

The only thing I can think of that could make a pink bathroom lover happier than original pink fixtures is this room...original pink and turquoise. Enjoy!

Fort Worth home for sale

Was my last post really in December? I've really been neglecting the blog lately. Gone are the years of daily posts, but this is ridiculous. I'll make a real effort to be more diligent from now on.

This local mid-century delight is owned by an acquaintance of mine. I've been in the home socially, and I can honestly say that it's more beautiful than the photos.

Built in 1952, this 4593 square foot marvel boasts soaring ceilings with skylights, huge indoor plants and tons of built-ins. With 5 bedrooms and 4 updated bathrooms and an updated kitchen with a gas stove which includes a grill, wok attachment, convection oven and warming drawer, it is larger and offers more amenities than many homes built in the early 1950s. It also has a stacked stone see-through fireplace, as well as refinished terrazzo tile and new cork flooring.

The home is located in Fort Worth's prestigious Monticello neighborhood and has a park view. It is listed at $599,000.
