Mid-century Midland, Michigan – congrats to Retro Ruth and her newspaper feature
Reader Retro Ruth and her husband Tom were recently featured in their local newspaper, The Midland (Mich.) Daily News. Home Editor Lori Qualls did a fabulous job capturing their retro renovation story. I helped Ruth reach out to the newspaper. I think this story is a hot one with lots of potential today … So, readers, if you think you have a good story to tell your local newspaper about why postwar homes are worth preserving and are willing to have you and your house featured, let me know and I’d be happy to help with the initial contact for you, too. Interested? Email me at retrorenovation [at] gmail [dot] com. Meanwhile, read Ruth’s story here – it’s terrific. And congrats, Ruth, you are rockin’.

How cool! Her house kills me.
That’s great! Lots of great coverage for the cause and I love that they are going to share one of Ruth’s recipes as a bonus.
Thanks, Pam! It is a fantastic cause to be the local spokeswoman for!
It all happened thanks to you, and I am forever in your debt. As Eartha mentioned, they also put one of the Mid-Century Menu posts in the paper, which was really fun. Everyone, please be sure to check it out (Labled as “So What Does Retro Taste Like” on the newspaper website) because if the article is popular, I might get to contribute to the paper every month!
Thanks again!
Congratulations from Bay City/Caro! You have a beautiful home.

Tha kitchen is great, especially that center island with the rounded end. But the newspaper article mentions some bathrooms that sound wonderful too. Can you share some photos of those with us?
Here is the original story on Ruth’s house: http://retrorenovation.com/2009/02/09/ruths-blue-geneva-kitchen-peach-and-pink-bathrooms-and-more/
And her blog is No Pattern Required – on the Blogroll in the middle column.
Between Pam and Ruth, they both have the best MCM kitchens!
uh oh, did my comment not make the cut, or did I not hit “post”. lol
Congrats to Retro Ruth!
