Yeehaw, mid-century *modern* and *modest*

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Wednesday night update:
Retro Renovation was one of 6 finalists in Apartment Therapy’s contest to choose the favorite home-design blog of 2009. Voting is now closed, and it looks like Remodelista is the winner, followed by Young House Love, and Decor8. Retro Renovation finished 4th — a fantastic outcome, in my mind, considering the nature of the blog, which is outside the mainstream, mass-market. I’ll do a follow up post after AT makes it all final, which they say is tomorrow night. So look for my official thank-you Friday morning. Meanwhile, my very sincere thanks to everyone who #1, voted us into the finals, and #2 then helped us make this great showing for mid-century *modern* and *modest* alike. xoxo pam

    Thanks to Pam for another great year of RR. No one deserves the award more than she does!

    Can’t imagine voting for anyone else! So, I did 🙂
    I had to register as “AtomicTikimama” because someone had the gall to use my name! *humph*
    Merry Christmas to you Pam, and all the RetroRenovation Readers!

    No question about it! retrorenovation is the best. Your passion comes through in every single post, Pam. I’m sure you’ll have lots of good things up your sleeve for us in 2010.
    In the meantime I’m voting in the poll…but gee, it takes them a long time to register me and send me the link………grrrrrrr.

    I voted. Then, I took a little salt from my original Bing & Grondahl Seagull pattern shaker, threw it over my shoulder and wished you much luck.

    I am grateful for your hard work, Pam. Thank you.
