Retro Renovation’s Countertop & Metal Edging Design Tips from pam kueber on Vimeo. Laminate countertops with metal edging are among the most popular choices for homeowners updating the kitchens in their mid century homes. In this video, I show you the Formica Skylark boomerang countertops in my aquamarine kitchen… We take a look at the [...]
Where to find speckled gold laminate? Also called “lame” (with an accent on the “e”, as in “lam-ae.”) A typical reader question, like this one: Hello – I really hope you can help me. I have been searching for weeks with no luck. I have an old trailer from the 50′s and need to replace [...]
UPDATE (Oct 2011): Click over to –> this story to get an update on all three sources for boomerang laminate. If you are planning Formica Boomerang countertop in aqua for your kitchen renovation, you’d better order now. Alas, if you were planning the skylark (light blue) or coral, it’s already too late.

I love looking at this house. The colors and mood are both warm and cool at the same time. Also, it’s spacious without being cavernous. It has a human scale. I love it.
Oh, is that brick forming the fireplace and kitchen oven area the roman brick people have been writing about recently, or something different? It looks good with all of the laminate.
It looks like limestone to me, Sue. At first I thought it was those roman bricks too, but when I looked closer, it has the variation of colors in limestone. I live smack in the Indiana limestone belt (and I work at the state geological survey), but I’m not 100% sure.
Aren’t those walls and that fireplace spectacular, though? I’d love to have a kitchen like that.
It takes my breath away! The space itself, the fireplace, the blue, the clock, and those beautiful windows and patio beyond! I think we all should have a 50s/60s style potluck here!
