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

This competition brought me out of the ‘lurker shadows’ to register and vote. I have enjoyed your site for months and now it’s time to acknowledge your great work. Thanks, Pam!

I voted, Pam!! I hope this site wins. Since I discovered you it’s now my daily window on all things retro. My favorite era…the era I grew up in!!! Even though I’m not actually renovating, I hope to begin acquiring some mid century furniture, etc. My BIG treat this year was my Little Beauty-a 4 ft. Evergleam aluminum tree with a color wheel of course! It brings me so much joy (as one did when I was a kid) that I may just leave it up to gaze at every night!! LOL
