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! -deebee Cindy,

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. Cindy, your home is dreamy!

Great job!

Well, sort of! :) Hey Cin – to clarify, I think I said your painting job was “some therapy” – meaning a good way to zen out – a positive thing. Well, sort of! :)

(see why Pam said I needed therapy?) I guesstimate the project took about 50 hours. I am constantly worried about water damaging the sheet rock backsplash and someday will figure out a way to tile it with that pattern. The clock and coffee table came from tag sales! Hi All,

When you did your stenciling, did you use regular wall paint or paint designed for stenciling? Thanks for the info and you are especially talented (and patient)! Hey, Cindy!

I love that clock. I want one for my collection. And the bathroom vanity looks amazing. I still can't believe the kitchen was done by hand, it looks very good. like a really cool wallpaper! I'm extremely jealous of the Goldwater bumpersticker! Great place Cindy! I love that clock. I want one for my collection. And the bathroom vanity looks amazing.
