Mid Mod Madness

Yearbook Yourself – 2009 edition

Posted by: pam kueber • July 29, 2009

yearbook-yourself Following yesterday’s Mad Men Yourself, I went to check whether Yearbook Yourself was back online yet – and it is, relaunched just last week. Yearbook Yourself lets you upload a photo (old or new) then lets you fiddle with it to fit into prototypical yearbook looks over 40 continuous years … from 1950 to 1990. Above is 2008 me yearbooked into 1952, 1960 and 1964. Oh my goodness, this one is guaranteed to waste lots and lots of time. YearbookYourself.com

Oh great. There’s another hour of my life lost. The results can be pretty weird if you use a baby picture of yourself, like I did. I also did some of my Dad in his 20s.

Thanks for posting this, Pam.

Kitchens – Countertops
I’ve written before about the Ralph Sr. and Sunny Wilson House in Temple, Texas – an amazing showcase of the innovative use of laminate that was built by the head of Wilsonart in the 1950s. The Wilson House is the the first and only home that has ever been named to the National Register of [...]

I felt blog ego come upon me (horrors, ego!) when Ronn challenged my assessment that the countertop in this kitchen was original. Maybe yes, maybe no, but if his belief is that it’s 90s because of the integral backsplash and edge (rather than the pattern) – I did respond that I’ve spotted integral design for [...]

These are sure a blast from the past: Glass combination trivets and cutting boards that are installed directly into your kitchen countertop. Yes: with metal rim aka Hudee ring. I think that these built-in cutting boards were all the rage in the 1970s, because there was one in our 1975 countertop, to the left of the sink. I’m not sure [...]

Okay, this is the last day of my little fixation with retro laminates. (For now.) As you know, I am a devotee of the Sherwin Williams Suburban Modern palette, both interior and exterior. So, I have gone through Arpa’s line of solid-colored laminates and for the most part, been able to line up 10 colors [...]

As follow up to my post yesterday – with a round up of all the laminates for bathroom counters that are on my radar today – I also recently found this great little history of laminate in the 1950s, from Wilsonart. 2011 update, Wilsonart has taken story down, but here are a few highlights: Laminate [...]
