I like that it retains some of the retro here, but still feels refreshed. If it were me, I'd keep the yellow. Of course, you're going to merge two baths, so it'll have to go.

I would love to do this to my bathroom, although I don't really have any cabinets, except the one above the toilet. Though I would like to put one or two in in a year or so. <br /><br />I will definitely keep your bathroom redesign in mind when I do so.

The counter looks pale yellow as well, but if you look closely, it's actually tiny yellow stripes on white. But we have the "gold marble" counter in our master bath that has very 60's olive green tile, tub, sink & toilet. I have been contemplating how to "help" them since we moved in last year since we can't afford to rip it all out. Your remodel is a huge inspiration! I was talking about another project & a friend sent me your O'verlays page. I'm so glad to have found you!Skittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16542760889892021943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924563841080619298.post-21230341564802126532012-01-31T19:42:59.230-05:002012-01-31T19:42:59.230-05:00So glad you didn't rip out and destroy all of ...So glad you didn't rip out and destroy all of the charm and replace it with run-of-the mill stuff everyone's got these days.
