These are sure a blast from the past: Glass combination trivets and cutting boards that are installed directly into your kitchen countertop. Yes: with metal rim aka Hudee ring. I think that these built-in cutting boards were all the rage in the 1970s, because there was one in our 1975 countertop, to the left of the sink. I’m not sure [...]
If you are looking for retro-style laminate for a kitchen or bathroom countertop, you have some blinding research ahead of you. Unless there is a home-run-out-of-the-park solution — like the boomerangs, crackle ice or dogbone still available — it’s going to be a hunt-peck-and-forage to find something that’s “close enough” to original laminates from the [...]
Arborite has two new laminates in their 2011-2012 collection that just popped onto my radar. I haven’t seen these as actual samples yet — I’ll order them this week. Meanwhile, I wanted to put them out there, because I know that many Retro Renovators have been left kind of up a creek since Formica discontinued [...]
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 [...]
Reader Sarah successfully removed a layer of more modern laminate from her yummy gold-speckled mid-century laminate beneath. She wrote about her experience — and the products she used — on her blog, Sarahs’ Blue Castle. But before you jump over there, take a look at her note to me and my comments here first –> [...]

Hello,
If anyone would be so kind as to remember me when you’re out wallpaper shopping and pass along any plaid pattern that resembles the Happy Days kitchen below, it would be much appreciated. Brand and stock/style number.
Here are links of the kitchen. I reckon there is a cream/off-white base, and various blue and green colors for the stripes.
Thank you so very much. I want it for my kitchen.

Robert, I’m curious: Have you searched all the major wallpaper producers’ books already?
No I haven’t even started yet—just thought I would open it up if one is out and about. I would imagine a plaid similiar wouldn’t be too difficult to find. But if one is doing same thing(looking for plaid wallpaper), well–I would love to not have to look if they just happen across a pattern.
Kind Regards,
Robert
