Four, 4″ faucets for your retro bathroom sink
Posted by: • January 8, 2009
Do you need a new faucet for your vintage bathroom sink? TodayI happily add a third alternative to my short list of recommendations. It’s this simple Gerber 4″ lav. Nice lines, nice faucet handles. Also a nice one here with fluted handles. Hurray.
Update: Nathan went looking for this and Gerber eliminated the image from their catalog. However, it IS still available. Here is what Nathan reports – MANY THANKS, Nathan!
Hey Pam,
I was able to track down that particular faucet that you had on your site. I contacted Gerber, and they gave me the part number. I then tried to find it locally here in Abq, but that was a dead end. So, I then resorted to shopping on the internets (d’oh), and found it here: [link now gone - search for model number online, folks - Pam]
I ordered 3 of them
Thanks again, and I’ve bookmarked your site
Hasta,
Nathan
Other faucet choices:
One of my very favorites - great deco style
Broyhill Saga furniture line – and showing off with my new slide show!
Posted by: • January 7, 2009
Everyone wants better slide shows…and many want to see more midcentury furniture lines. Today I accomplish the start of both with my new NextGEN photo gallery tool. So much easier for me to use – so expect more photos and illustration galleries to come! Click on the image to move the show forward – there are 19 images. (Next, I’ll try to figure out how to add arrows.)
Six great 1961 interiors – floors, furniture, art, outrageous interiors and more
Posted by: • January 6, 2009
I have been reading everyone’s suggestions for updates to the blog – many thanks! – and keep them coming.
I already was on course to add many more photo galleries – and I get my fancy gallery tool and tutorial later today.
Meanwhile, I could not hold off from showing this delicious 1961 eye candy – photos from Kentile and Congoleum Nairn ads during the year.
Aren’t these so…70s? It is SO INTERESTING, when you start wading through periodicals, that so many trends were foreshadowed a good 8-10 years before they were adopted by the masses and entered our collective memories now active today. I swear, our 1971 split level had features just like those here. I could be wrong. I need to study the 60s and 70s more. That’s coming, too.
FABULOUS!
