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

Restoring the Retro House in the New York Times Aug. 18 2011Look who is in the New York Times today — it’s a story all about intrepid Retro Renovators. Yes, a story on the front page of the Thursday Home & Garden section all about the blog also quoting Cindy, Stephan and Helen (pictured in my montage, right) as well as Judi, Jason — and yes, Chippy of World of Tile, too. My gosh. Thanks to EVERYONE on the blog who helps make this the wonderful community it is! xoxo I have to run out the door to buy some copies of the paper from Loeb’s right now. Meanwhile — check The New York Times story, “Restoring the Retro House”, out online!

    Wonderful piece! Hopefully the article will be an education to many — and may reduce the gutting/trashing of cool vintage touches in an older homes. Thanks for acting as the Pied Piper for us retro lovers, spreading the word! 🙂

    OMG, you must have wondered what was wrong with me when you got my email about the Dan Kiley landscape on the same day this article was posted — and nothing from me about it. I don’t know how, but I must have missed your blog that day. So, I am late to the game, so to speak, but no less impressed and happy for you than all those who have commented before me. This is GREAT! Congratulations. This couldn’t have happened for a better person and blog.

    Hi Pam, great article in the New York Times. That should get some great exposure for retro renovating.

    Great to see the article about you and your work. If you ever need the right toaster, I refurbish and sell great old toasters and waffle irons and other stuff.

    A wonderful article. It was such a fun experience to be looking at NYT and all of the sudden going “I know her!”. Thanks for being a part of my everyday. You’ve taught me so much. Keep up the good work!

    Found your site today via NYT. I love it, have already spent hours diving into it today and have already recommended it to friends. Wow. Fasten your seat belt, Pam. I have a feeling this ride is about to go warp-speed for you!! Congrats…

      Thank you, Holley! It has been so much fun — and so much of the thanks really goes to all you readers, who not only keep me energized, but also contribute so many great tips! As the article says, “My house is done” (boo hoo) so I’m depending on you all to keep the projects and ideas coming!
