Cotton Candy Pink, that's what color the bathroom in our first house was. The house was built in 1954 or 55. Pink appliances too. The seat cover was foam padded, which was un-nerving to say the least...

Later

WOWZA! Do you have any pics of your first house and the bathroom, I love to see them if you do :D Foam padded seat lol

Miss Sofia,

Kia-ora in plastic cartons - that's just brought back memories of Saturday morning pictures, munching on Spangles and Sherbet Fountains, watching cartoons, with the requisite "Pearl & Dean" trailers!

For the benefit of those who live across the pond, what is Kiaora?

Kahuna,

Sure, no problem. Kia-Ora was an orange drink, sold in square plastc cartons, and was synonymous with early trips to the cinema, during the 60's and 70's. It was the staple refreshment, along with hot dogs and popcorn.

It's name is actually a Maori greeting, for "good health".

Cheers,

Danny O

I'll be more than happy to. I do very much like the big bay window on the front of the house. It's also on a triple lot with no neighbors.



Also, glass milk bottles, don't so those anymore.

Bay windows..very nice

Hey! I was gana say glass milk bottles. I was just talking about them the other day. I think it would be fantastic if they were to make a come back. Plastic bottles are a waste of resources in my opinion.

Agreed. I try to buy as much as I can in glass. I have a ton of 'glasses' that once were Ragu containers, they also work great for holding nails, push-pins, twist ties, etc.
