Anyone out there that could help? I would even love to get a 50's vintage piece if I could.My trailer is mint green and white with light powder brown accent and natural wood cabinets. Anything that may match or accent these colors would be appreciated. Thanks! I’m renovating a 60’s vintage travel trailer and need to find a piece of laminate four by five.

It's an auto painting company, quite a large franchise. Oh Oh, I thought everyone had Maaco – guess not! It’s an auto painting company, quite a large franchise.

I had to look up Maaco to even know what that was (having to do w/ kitchens...)? I was confused. How did you do it? I have many cabinets that need repainting- Thanks, Nancy OK- Got to share having your steel cabinets done at Maaco! I had to look up Maaco to even know what that was (having to do w/ kitchens…)?

Spanish was in my double major, I can get the accents right there! ... For me to get them into these posts, I have to write them in Word, inserting the symbol as appropriate... then move them to the Notepad... then to the blog. Considering my obsessiveness, it's not a must-do, now that I know how to do it. Voilà Oopsy!

Sorry, I'm a French major. But, obviously I don't know how to DO the accents on a page like this, only in Word, so please do share that helpful hint. It will be nice not to have to read about LAME laminate anymore! Lisa Okay, Pam, I hate to be a stickler, but it’s voila with the accent like this ` on the a at the end. Sorry, I’m a French major.

Of course, I understand what something like a banjo has to do with the Bluegrass State, and I am excited to learn of Jeff's business. There are a couple of good musicians in our family who have dabbled in instrument making. They definitely will be interested in his website. (Wayne and I have just enough skills to make the dog bark when we plunk on the mandolin and dulcimer.) Unfortunately, we hauled the speckled laminate off to the Restore when we finally accepted that we couldn't get it to fit -- a sad day. We have spotted an odd-shaped piece or two in the past year, so maybe we will find more. We will let you and Jeff know if we do. What a really great use for material that might not be the right size for a kitchen anymore!
