Need a location again. This time I need a 50's looking bathroom. Older style sing and toilet and maybe b/w checkerboad tile. YOu get the idea.

Not likley to find the B+W checkerboard tile in a 50's bathroom, in those you will find more pinks and greens and maybe grey the B+W look around here was earlier or later (late 70's or 1930s). I would try asking around if you know of anyone in the suburbs of Dallas that live in one of the 50's homes that has not had the bathroom remodeled.

Good point. I'd love to find some seafoam green or pink.

Ok, anyone live in the suburbs of Dallas in an older home without the bathroom remodeled?

If you could get into any of the big old homes on Forest Park you could probably find what you're looking for.

My in-laws lived over there and had a bathroom just like you are talking about. They had made sure to find replacement hardware that matched the origionals. On the downside, all of those kinds of bathrooms are small!

Thanks Amy, where is forest park? Maybe there are some houses for sale over there that may be empty right now?

The part of Forest Park I'm referring to is just south of I-30. It's directly south of downtown FW.
