Sharlene, research ebay to see what going prices may be. Please: no buying or selling on the main pages of the blog. You may list for-sale items on the forum, though: http://retrorenovation.com/forum

I have a towel bar and towel ring(double ring) from the “Star Line Housewares, Inc.” bathroom accessories line. I have no use for them I found them at an estate sale with the intent to install them in my home and ended up not doing so. I can tell they have never been used just need to be cleaned up with sos pad no rust or pitting. I am at a loss as to what to sell them for “fair price” could you help me?

Great images! The Kentile mosaic vinyl flooring sample shown here is in the bathroom of my 1953 house. It even has metal corners (I am sure there is a more technical term). I am pretty sure it is the original flooring. The house has had only two owners before me and I talked to the last owner about remodels and he didn’t mention about replacing the vinyl. So, I’m thinking that the Kentile mosaic vinyl is a 1950’s thing.

What about that amazing *raised* dining area! Looks like it should have a canopy above it like a carousel! Pam, do you have or have you seen Conran’s House Book (the original from the 70s)? Even though the 70s aren’t my favorite era for design, I drool over this book. It’s like the “bible” of decor for the 70s the was the Armstrong books are for the 50s and 60s. I’ve seen it in used bookshops a lot, and I think it’s worth having for any design/home-improvement enthusiast.

Oh! The cabinet hardware in the kitchen with the bamboo cart! I love them! I have been looking for unusual hardware for awhile now. I really yearn for a “atomic star” design but my search has been a dismal failure. This hardware is interesting though!

Oh, what I wouldn’t give for that bamboo kitchen cart!
