This isn’t a photo post but it is highly instructive. A reader sent a link to a page with 24 images of post-war, 1949 catalogue of bathroom fixtures and decorations. Yes, there is such a thing.
What I found most interesting is that one of the sinks depicted is precisely the sink in the guest room I used quite often at my home parish in St. Paul. Crane.
The bathrooms below are a lot fancier than most rectory bathrooms, that’s for sure. But the color schemes are right on.

They called the pink – salmon.
My folk’s house still has an aqua tub and toilet.
I can’t unsee the face in that first sink.
That’s the same sink my grandparents had in their basement bathroom.
that last one features the palette of my boyhood bathroom, but there all the fixtures were green. as someone said (cf. the 1970s ‘lutheran book of worship’), “it’s not easy being green”.
