A few years ago I saw my first bathtub and shower surround tiled in with a “crazy quilt” of all different tiles, and it was love at first site. If you love color and pattern, heck, going crazy quilt means can have it all. Designer Amy Mescia — with her new company Oscar & Izzy – now [...]
Following up on Monday’s exciting post about the Arpa USA palette of solid-color laminates, let’s take a look at how to use this material to recreate this 1959 Ma Bell kitchen. It would be oh-so-easy! Elements include: Laminate cabinetry using Arpa’s “Jardin” colorway. Cabinet pulls: Rejuvenation’s new midcentury “sharp arch”, in satin chrome Countertops are [...]
These are new from Formica. Both look like they could swing either “warm” or “cool” – that is, work across the spectrum from reds (and pinks) to blues. I really like the Linen – a very typical look for the 50s — Hey, Formica, can we have it in green, blue, pink and yellow?!: And, [...]
Wowza — here is a ton — several tons, actually! — of vintage Consoweld laminate likely to come on the market soon. I never cease to be amazed at the retro treasures out there, yet to be unearthed. Interestingly, this seller first posted this on our Forum — but then got so much interest, put [...]
How is this one, Retro Renovation readers? I recently scored a full box of est. 1960-65 era GE Textolite laminate samples, absolute mint condition unused.

I know that tile color!. Try matching it today… it is a green/grey that is NOT-TO-BE-FOUND,
Lovely Bathroom.
Yes, Jane. That grey – and grey, in general, is a wonderful color for a bathroom. Remember this one — reader Shelly’s — too: http://retrorenovation.com/2009/01/14/shellys-gorgeous-gray-midcentury-bathroom/
Sinks with the old fashion rim (like this one) steal my breath away!
That’s the “hudee ring”, Juju. See this post: http://retrorenovation.com/2008/12/09/the-mystery-of-the-hootie-ring-first-clues-uncovered/
I just bought a 1961 house and much to my chagrin, the bathroom has never been updated. It has a sliding door vanity, outrageous patterns and feels space age. The rest of the house is updated, it’s just the bathroom that I suppose they never got around to. I didn’t realize some people liked them. I’m not sure I should send the vanity and stuff to the landfill now. Thanks for this website and the heads up. It would have been sad to send this to the garbage if someone might like it. I’ll check before throwing it away.
