Fluffy Towels & Pretty Irises


kids-in-tub

This is my grandparents' bathroom. It's painted a vintage carnation pink and my grandma even has mint green towels to complete the retro feel! I personally enjoy retro spaces, but what makes this even better for me is that my great grandma - this particular grandma's mom - also had a vintage carnation pink bathroom. It brings back such sweet and loving memories and I can only hope and pray when my own children are grown, they will have similarly fond memories of their great grandma.

I'm also linking this shot to Texture Thursday because of those towels...boy, were they super soft!!

  13. my husband's grandparent's have a retro bathroom much like the one you described. I really like it, simply from the memories we have had at their house!!

    Your before and after iris's are awesome! I'm going to try to make a mental note to try that combination of actions :)
