Kitty Mommy saw Mr. Bartlett’s vintage Armstrong linoleum floor yesterday – and sent in the very same pink version that’s in place in her master bathroom. You can also see a bit of her pink American Standard toilet. Those of you with vintage inlaid linoleum in good shape – are so very lucky!

Kate recently contacted me looking for help in finding a home for this wonderful midcentury linoleum flooring. It’s got a piece cut out (see midway up, to the far left) but it looks like there’s plenty to salvage for a galley kitchen or a pink bathroom (and she has those pieces coming out too!!!). It’s all rolled up and ready to go to a happy home. If you’re interested in making a deal – leave a comment below and I’ll connect you directly to Kate – who deserves our daily retro renovation historic preservation prize. I love her quote: “I do not want to destroy something that would make another person really happy to have.” Thank you, Kate!
Hi Pam,
We are slowly redoing our house which was built in 1890. I have uncovered laminate sheet that is black, white, light grey, dark grey, and salmon pink It has elongated diamond approx 6-3/4 inches per side. We have 16 feet x12 feet of it.
This looks like the web site to find someone who would really be happy to find this. I am not sure what to do now but I do not want to destroy something that would make another person really happy to have.
We are in Shiremanstown just outside of, Harrisburg, PA. Attached are some fab pics for you. We have it rolled up. It is not very clean but someone who feels the love for it might know what to do without damaging it. We have a pink bathroom set too. Toilet, sink, tub, it is not ready for a new home yet but will be soon!
Best,
Kate

I’ve seen only one linoleum “rug” in person, before. This “plastic rug” looks very cool and could be a fun buy especially for someone within driving distance of Mishawaka, Ind.

Do not rip it out -- yet. Once you understand the mid century aesthetic -- well, it is very interesting. And rather than gut your vintage features, you might decide to preserve certain aspects...This 1959 American-Standard bathroom is so beautiful, and that vanity-sink is one of the best ever.
