ALAS: DISCONTINUED! The website says that these are for “contract” jobs — that is, interior designers working on commercial projects. But hey, if you really like these retro laminate choices, go after Nevamar and get them! Remember: The only way to do these…is to pair them with authentic steel countertop and backsplash edging available from [...]
Seems like I’m starting the week off with the spotlight on RESOURCES! I was checking out Formica’s site recently – and saw these two new laminates. They both have a nice retro groove, underscored by their names, Atomic Orange and Atomic Turf. Back in the postwar era, there were a number of laminates that had [...]
UPDATE (Oct 2011): Click over to –> this story to get an update on all three sources for boomerang laminate. In wake of the news that Formica is discontinuing, or has discontinued, two shades of our beloved boomerang laminate, I started receiving reports from readers of other discontinuations. I checked with the super duper helpful [...]

Nice picks!
Thanks, Gretchen. These really are books that I think are keepers…
I purchased “Populuxe” earlier this year after reading Pam’s recommendation of it. It’s a book to savor for anyone interested in MCM on any level. It’s my constant bedside companion, right threre and ready for those times when I want to indulge in healthy regression to my favorite era.
Order up, folks. These books are great! I want to own them all.
I SO AGREE, Annie, Thomas Hine is one of my gods.
Dear Pam and readers,
My name is Angel and I need some advice. My husband and I are in the last stages of cleaning out my in-laws house and in the early stages of making it livable. We will be moving in to care for them when we are done.
To my joy and sheer, shrieking delight, when we got the upstairs bathroom door open and got the stuff out, there it was….the most beautiful sight, A PINK BATHROOM!! Because it had been full o’ stuff for 20+ yrs, it is in almost perfect condition. I’d like to share some photos of the pink and green tiled walls and floor along with the pink fixtures so you and your readers can share some ideas with me. The downstairs bathroom is a carbon copy of the pink bathroom, but with maroon and gray tile. How can I share photos?
Thanks to everyone for honoring the pink bathroom!
Angel
