THE PARTY is only getting started here at Retro Renovation. I have a feeling that American design in 2010 is going to be even more retrograde-retrocrazed, than ever. Looking ahead to year #3 for the blog, I’d love to hear from you. What do you want to see more of… less of…? What are your favorite features? What are your biggest needs? How can the blog help you out with your projects, even more?

This blog has been such a great help to me. It kept me company for the two months we spent in a teeny apartment waiting for the closing on our 1952 ranch. We are accidental mid-century modest living in a small town where many of the houses are 200+ years old. Munching on RetroRenovation has helped me learn to love a style and time period I previously new nothing about. I love how well organized the info is. It would be nice to see more on wood kitchens since that is what I have. I also find floorplans to be really helpful. I’d love to see more about landscaping (zone 4/5) and DIY anything.

Congratulations on your new (old) house, Cindy. You kinda sound like me when I bought my house. I had wanted a classic New England farmhouse (gasp! yes! I admit it!) But, the gods sent me this house instead — and it’s been a blast ever since! I look forward to seeing more of your house, and have noted your requests. I think I have several posts on wood kitchens, I think… I’ll have to group them up for you and others to ogle.

Great Site! I just purchased a 1955 GE hanging refrigerator for my mid century modest home.

yes, more on the 40’s houses. 40’s – early 50’s is my fav. although I own a 65 ranch.

Pam,
I, like everyone else, love your website and even though I personally would like to see more topics about how we can incorporate ACTUAL vintage appliances and electronics into our vintage style homes today on this site (I am a hard core retro hound) I must admit that you do an excellent job on this blog seeing as you have such a wide variety of vintage tastes to cater to, not to mention how much of your time this blog must consume. So I must agree with everyone else and say this is as near a perfect retro website as you will find on the net and it gets a 9.5 out of 10 from Pat’s Vintage-O-Tron Vintage Meter.
