We start year two of RetroRenovation.com with a perfect time capsule. But this one’s not for sale.
In fact, Russell is closing on it today (if all goes right)! Yoo haah, Russell, congratulations — fantastic house!

Oh my goodness, some of the features in this 1966 Las Vegas time capsule are just exquisite.
The house is a little older than those I usually feature. But I couldn’t resist. The more immersed I become in designs of the 1946-1966 era (where I draw the lines around “postwar”), the more I also find [...]

Pam,
Sorry to bombard you with yet another e-mail, but I have attached some photos of a home for sale in my neighborhood. I really thought you’d get a kick out of this beautiful 1955 ‘time capsule’…especially the bathroom - not the usual pink I’m used to seeing in 50s baths, but still pretty darn cool! [...]

Thank you, Shawna!!

Love the blog. It’s been a great resource for us. We recently purchased a 1958 one-owner blond brick ranch, and love the ideas shared here.
I really enjoy [...]

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for this incredible 1957 Dallas time capsule sent in by flickr friend Tess.
The listing says: “Spectacular one-of-a-kind mid-century modern known as the Round House.
“Truly a work of art beginning with the domed motor court covered in wisteria, the hm offers a mixture of materials rarely seen.
“A rare opportunity to [...]

Puddletown sends in today’s time capsule beauty, first time on the market since built in 1966.
I’m ready for the slopes, how about you? Some day, we will have big RetroRenovation reader reunions, what do you think, and we’ll meet up at places like this.
Forget the kaffee. Margarita’s all around!
Thank you, Cheryl!

Every week, I think I’ve seen my favorite time capsule house.
But then…someone sends in a new one, and I’m in love all over again!
Camila B. aka Ms. Atomic sends this gem — she calls it “eye candy” - and rightly so - in Austin, Texas.
Yowza. I might just have to retire here! Tex-Mex and an [...]
