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 [...]
“Fake butcher block countertops” are another one of those original vintage house features that I often hear called “hideous” on other websites. (Crikey, how I have come to despise that word — it is overkill, please refrain.) I, on the other hand, not only have “no problem” with butcher block laminate, I am 100% on [...]
Maryland Nancy is searching for laminate for her bathroom reno, and alerted me that the colorful Nevamar swirlie’s are discontinued. Alas. So, I did another survey — and here is an update of the laminates landscape for bathroom vanity countertops, as far as I can determine. Scroll over each image with your mouse to see [...]
I am updating this Retro Renovation “Classic” post for Tiel, her husband, and all readers looking for classic 50s and 60s metal countertop edging. Trust me – this is the real deal: My husband hunted down the only place left — in Astoria, Queens — that still made the exact stainless steel edging on 50s [...]
So here is a little piece of trim made to fit between the edge of your countertop and the edge of your stove, to prevent all manner of food from dropping down between. Hmmm, a handy dandy that I didn’t even know I needed, but which I am pretty sure would make DH, a neat freak, very happy. [...]

speaking of throw pillows….Has anyone ever seen those travel souvenir pillow covers? They are usually wild colors with some sort of fringe around the edge. I found a few at a flea market when i was in high school and have been collecting them since (though i’m only 25). I think i have 20 or so now, but i never knew much about them. I am guessing they are from the 40s-60s, some come from military bases. I will have to photograph my collection and post a link… they are perfect for any mid century bedroom!
Hehe, like I said in the calico post, I like a bedspread pulled up over the pillows hotel style with just one cute round pillow as an accent the old way, not like now with pillow shams and 500 throw pillows, haha!
Now years ago I liked shabby chic for a while and had more throw pillows and it used to drive hubby crazy, lol, but now I can understand why and I like it more simple too.
I think if you like reading in bed or whatever, you could keep either those cute wrap reading pillows like in the post below, or bed or throw pillows on a chair or whatever nearby so you could grab them to use.
