When Ben and I bought our teeny tiny condo we were in a rush. It was right before our wedding and we were also planning our cross country move. Crazy times.
We hunted around some and ended up being sold on a Pink condo. No, the outside wasn’t pink, but EVERYTHING else was. I am not lying when I say that every inch of the place was painted some shade of Pepto Bismo. We had it repainted before moving in, but we didn’t have the money to change the pink sink. We did get a plumber like the plumber in Alachua, FL to check if the pipes are still in perfect condition and also got Clogged Shower Drain Cleaning. A drain cleaning in Woodinville, WA by experts like Mackin & Sons Plumbing is recommended if your drains keeps getting clogged recently. In addition, if there is low water pressure in your home, you might want to hire a plumbing services contractor to check your plumbing system. They may also help determine the problem to see if you need septic tank pumping. You may also schedule a heating pump cleaning in Lakeway, TX for the maintenance of your heating system.
We still don’t have the funds to change it up (um, broken cat/tooth/laptop in a span of 3 weeks). So, I thought I’d share with you our tragic pink sink, which also had problems of drain smell but a professional service helped us to fix it. Note: Because I refuse to decorate the bathroom pink, the multicolor décor only adds to the tackiness.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE pink! The placemat I used for lunch is one of my faves, but a pink sink? I’m just telling you this in case you ever come visit. I don’t want you to think I picked it out. Pepto.Bismo.
Speaking of colorful… Yesterday I bought those $1.99 daffodils from TJ’s and they looked like this:
Today they look like this:
Gotta love it! Vegas does.

I think your bubble gum pink sink is BEAUTIFUL. I would love to have a pink sink in my bathroom. But to each’s own. Love you condo by the way (Clean condo tour) Flowers are beautiful!

Oh but I love the pink sink. Looks very Art Deco and quite unique. Your wit made me honestly laugh out loud.
Ally says
Are you aware it’s Pepto Bismol, not Bismo? lol
samantha says
What is it made of? You can paint almost anything these days with the specialty paints they make. You might want to look into that. Much cheaper than replacing it.

Pink can be cute, but why do people do that? Whenever we’re driving around my husband and I point out the awful colors of houses. Because we’re incredibly judgemental apparently, lol. But man, some of the color combinations are awful!
Jill says
Yuck! That sink is definitely Pepto pink. What a sight to greet you, first thing in the morning.
Love the photo of Vegas and the daffodils. A much nicer sight to wake up to.

I have an idea. Maybe to cover up the “pink” of it, you could use one of those sticky vinyl coverings.. (think the kind you’d use to wrap a book to protect it), same idea. I’m sure you could find something to use to cover it in the mean time.
runeatrepeat says
Thanks Cristina, I’ll look into it 🙂
Michelle says
At least you are original with the pink sink! It is unique for sure!
Those flowers are beautiful!! They just look like the definition of spring.
Lauren says
I like the pink sink. It definitely gives it character. 🙂
Elena (running in heels after child) says
So…on the bright side, someday when you are able to replace the pink sink you will appreciate the new one so much more then if it had always been there.
best,
elena

I love the pink sink 🙂

omg girl i have a pink everywhere too! i have pink counter tops. it’s gross and sad. we hope to remodel it soon. it’s a gorgeous house, but the owner b4 me LOVED pink. i think we should all get together and vote to have pink removed from the color scheme. lol
runeatrepeat says
The owner before us loved pink too and was totally proud of the painted walls. She raved about them like it was a selling point of the place?!
Lisa says
You poor thing. I can relate. My boyfriend bought his house a few years ago (before we were together) and has been slowly remodeling it. It’s awful: my bathroom is teal. Thankfully the walls have been painted white but the counters are teal with white cabinets that have pink and teal flowers on it. VILE. It’s so heinous. But until the kitchen remodel is done my bathroom has to wait.
runeatrepeat says
We’re totally in the same boat. Too bad this boat is not a cruise ship…
Meg says
Wow, that is a very, very pink sink! We have pink & gray tiles in our shower that are decades old. I hated it when we first moved in, but now I’m totally attached. You’ll change it someday, but you’ll always be able to laugh remembering the Pepto sink! 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I like pink too, but that is quite… shockingly pink! I was watching an episode of House Hunters where the sink and the tub were brown. It was disgusting!
runeatrepeat says
Brown tub?! Tragic.
Amanda says
I LOVE pink, but I must admit–that pink sink may even be a bit too much for me. Haha
runeatrepeat says
If we ever get rid of it, you can have it 😉
alison says
At least your pink sink is a conversation piece. 😉 The first apartment my husband and I lived in had turquiose carpet. Makes you wonder what people are thinking, eh?
I love daffodills; they’re so cheerful.
Julia says
Vegas is so cute! And I love those flowers.
As for the pink sink – I always wonder what people were thinking when they design these things. Maybe it was on sale and that’s why they bought it?
