Congrats, Pam! And that is a great pic!
Congrats! I’m so glad I found this place. I need to catch up on about 850 posts, though. lol
No, we thank you! Congratulations!
That’s some accomplishment Pam! Thank you for your dedication to this blog – we readers can always count on you for a new treat every day. Not many blogs can say that! I know bunches of us have said it before, but you and this site are truly a bright spot in our day!
I wake up with your post first thing every morning while I drink my coffee. While I might be groggy and a little cranky Retro Renovation is always waiting for me all sunshiny and happy. For that I thank you.
Yea for YOU!
My grandmother had that same sign in her kitchen!
I’m taking your suggestion about wallpaper-looking for great ’50 style mermaid/underwater paper for the downstairs 1954 bathroom right now.
Thanks for the nudge.
Congrats, Pam!
TikiMama spoke for me when she said, “you and this site are truly a bright spot in our day!”
Ditto Tikimama and Lynngweeny. You’re a “giver” and a blessing.
Thank you all, you are so sweet. Stop, though, I can’t take it. Just workin’ hard for a cause that excites me, that’s all!
Wow! A thousand posts! That’s really cool. Congrats! : )
p.s. Your site will always be bookmarked.
You’re the best!! congratulations, Pam!
Congrats on your milestone!
My folks have a plaque with that saying too.
To a thousand more!
Congratulations! I’m glad to see your wallpaper up close. I had assumed it was an atomic print, but, I see it is more colonial. That’s a good way to tie your mod kitchen in with your more colonial house. Love the rooster in the suit — he’s like Foghorn Leghorn, one of my favorite cartoon characters from the 60s! Also, I love green glass. Are those candle holders?
Hi sumacsue, the wallpaper also has little gold flecks in it, it’s neat. I like how it’s just “strong enough” to complement all those aqua cabinets. The rooster is a leftover from my country days…I like the homey touch. And yes, I think those are candle holders. Although the olive coloring on the glass flakes right off it you touch them – so I don’t. I liked bringing the avocado green into the kitchen!
Wow, gold flecks? That takes it from colonial to cool-onial!
ha ha sumac sue, good one! i just examined it again – and there’s metallic silver too!
Happy 1,000th post to you!
