So, how do you actually attached the skewers to the back of the center mirror? I haven't yet purchased my supplies and want to be sure I've everything I need to get it done. I'm concerned the glue gun approach may not be strong enough. Is this a legitimate concern? Also, how far into the center of the larger mirror should the skewer ends go?

We purchased a home in April 2009, and have the same issue; however, our tile is a combo of pink with black edges. This gives us tons of options, especially since our house is a mid-century house. We've chosen the path of least resistance -- we're keeping the pink bath, while incorporating chrome, black and grey to complement.
We did remodel our kitchen, though and I'd like to offer a bit of advice. The sink, toilet and tub in your bath may actually HELP you accomplish your bath remodel. Please note these older fixtures can be auctioned or sold via ebay, craigslist and/or architectural salvage!!! If we'd done this with items from our former kitchen, we could have reinvested the cash into the remodel. You may be surprised how many folks LIKE these old pink bathrooms.
In the meantime, I like the gray you have in your bath. Some of the tiles do have a gray color, it appears. The only glaring error in the room is the toilet seat. So where do you get a pink toilet seat? Well, I think I'd use one of the brown wooden ones. Paint the walls a very light grey and then paint the toilet seat the same color. The tiles and your shower curtain can serve as your guide for color.
Hope this helps.
