Michael, I am pretty sure that Cindy made up the design herself. Hey: Maybe she has a new business concept here!

I love the stenciling in the Kitchen. Where did you find the design? I have looked for something like this and am not able to find any retro patterns.

Pam, we could meet in Holyoke, my place,…keep that as an option for anything out this way…also if you’re going to be speaking at the Home Show you’re welcome to stay with me. I think there is one at the Eastern States in West Springfield once or twice a year……

hmmmm, Cindy. I think there are a few readers now in the Pioneer Valley. Let me think about where to have a meet-up.

I just saw this last question from Gavin…house was built 1963. Do you live in the area? You should come for a visit!
How about a retro reunion in Lenox, Pam?

BTW- so tell us…1954, 55, or 57?

and I think it is time to bring back rippled brick.

I have friends down the street, and have walked or driven by your home 1 milion times- often wondering if the folks inside realised what a gem they had obtained. Congratulations, I applaud a great job

What I like best is that it is cohesive. When new- it was top of the line, Holyoke executive, stylish and yet home-y. You have kept it as designed without getting kitschy. Your additions look as if they SHOULD have been part of the original design.

It is lovely and I’ll be moving in next Tuesday.

Cindy,

Did you ever find the name of the designer/maker of your kitchen pendants? We just purchased a vintage light like yours and I can’t seem to find it’s origin. I’m hoping you can help.

Thank you. Beautiful work on your home!

Cindy, your home is dreamy! When I was growing up in the 60s we had neighbors with a similar fireplace and the kids would always pose in front of it for those classic Christmas cards.

About your kitchen and the fear of water damage to your artwork. Have you thought about fitting clear plexiglas sheets over it? I have a collection of vintage tablecloths that I protect with plexiglas.

I am in love with this site and all of you who share my love of retro everything. I grew up in a very traditionally styled home and dreamed of living in a “modern” house. I am working on my pink and orange retro remodel funky mountain retreat and will post my photos as soon as I can clean up and take them.
