Decent story. Congrats on the well deserved publicity Pam. I am hooked on your site. Had I stumbled across it sooner it may have affected a few choices I made in my ’55 ranch rehab. (That cortina tile keeps growing on me) Btw, thanks for the warm welcome.

This is a good story. Never would have made that loft connection, but, it makes sense. I think a big part of the appeal of the retro look is it is on a scale that seems unpretentious, comfortable and friendly. Materials are usually in lighter, brighter colors, which are such a pleasant change from the dark, heavy granite and marble stuff, which always makes me feel like I am in a rock quarry.
