Some of my favorite pulls and knobs:
A few years ago I saw my first bathtub and shower surround tiled in with a “crazy quilt” of all different tiles, and it was love at first site. If you love color and pattern, heck, going crazy quilt means can have it all. Designer Amy Mescia — with her new company Oscar & Izzy – now [...]
Many thanks to Whitney, who just tipped me that Wilsonart has introduced 11 new colors of boomerang laminate. There now are a total of 14 colorways — the most of any manufacturer. I am quite liking the “butterscotch” above — looks like you could use this in a kitchen with yellow kitchen cabinets. There is [...]
A reader wrote to ask how to bring the luster back to her vintage laminate countertops. Paste wax, maybe? To get the answer, I turned to expert Grace Jeffers. She is the writer, design historian and materials expert responsible for restoration of the Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson House – including its gorgeous Mondrian-style kitchen, [...]

In this post, I’ll take you step-by-step through the process that we used to install the metal edging in my kitchen. I had my countertops laminated by an outfit recommended by by contractor.

It is to hard to ship (& repair) the retro-looking appliances to where I live ( ~ the retro market is greater in the USA versus Canada).
I’ve been on the search for two certain styles of Amerock pulls from the 1946 or there about time period. I found this ebay seller who has quite an extensive stock of vintage pulls and hinges. Just wanted to pass it on!

Her seller name is okatiedid and her store is vintage trailer parts
Not all of her stuff is for trailers and it’s definitely worth a look through if you have certain art deco era needs.
