By Ellen Sturm Niz
Jackie O. sunglasses, groovy bell bottoms, pastel polo shirts with the collar turned up…clothing fashion styles tend to repeat themselves, and the same is true in interior design.

This is a good story. Never would have made that loft connection, but, it makes sense. I think a big part of the appeal of the retro look is it is on a scale that seems unpretentious, comfortable and friendly. Materials are usually in lighter, brighter colors, which are such a pleasant change from the dark, heavy granite and marble stuff, which always makes me feel like I am in a rock quarry.
Decent story. Congrats on the well deserved publicity Pam. I am hooked on your site. Had I stumbled across it sooner it may have affected a few choices I made in my ‘55 ranch rehab. (That cortina tile keeps growing on me) Btw, thanks for the warm welcome.
Cool article Pam…..made even cooler by the fact that you were mentioned and quoted in it and that a picture of your awespme kitchen appeared in it. PAT COFFEY
