"A secondhand find in an unexpected place was the inspiration behind Madison Zavoda-Brennan's (@midcentury.madison) entire bathroom makeover. When Madison saw a yellow vintage toilet paper holder at a record store, she knew it belonged in her 1967 house. "That quirky thrift find set the tone for everything that followed, guiding the palette, finishes, and details of the entire space," she says."
"She and her husband, Jack, started with a bathroom with chipped paint and poorly grouted tile floors, likely last updated in the 1990s or early aughts. "We talked to a few neighbors who used to come to parties here back in the '70s, and we were relieved to learn that the original bathrooms weren't anything special to begin with," Madison adds. "I'd worried that the previous owners might have ripped out some amazing vintage features, but it turns out that wasn't the case.""
Madison Zavoda-Brennan and her husband Jack renovated a 1967 house bathroom after spotting a yellow vintage toilet paper holder at a record store. The original bathroom had chipped paint and poorly grouted tile floors likely last updated in the 1990s or early 2000s. They retained the tongue-and-groove ceiling and completed a $5,000 renovation that reintroduced retro character. Madison sourced a yellow sink from Facebook Marketplace, found legs at Pasadena Architectural Salvage, and acquired yellow tile and a matching toilet and tub, which Jack arranged to ship from Florida. The vintage pieces cost less than new equivalents. Madison advises collecting vintage finds well before renovation begins.
