Many thanks to Whitney, who just tipped me that Wilsonart has introduced 11 new colors of boomerang laminate. There now are a total of 14 colorways — the most of any manufacturer. I am quite liking the “butterscotch” above — looks like you could use this in a kitchen with yellow kitchen cabinets. There is a green-and-brown that also is great — for a kitchen with wood cabinets, knotty pine maybe even, that just needs a little zing. And for you fans of pink: Even Poodle Pink. Oh happy day: 14 colorways! Read on…
Well, I only got 10 images in. I don’t know which I’ve missed. See all 14 Wilsonart boomerang laminates here, within their Indie Collection. This is a special-order item. The source with the best prices today, as far as I know, is A Moment in Time (current advertiser). Their recently confirmed price for a 4′ x 8′ sheet of the original three patterns was $220, plus $30 shipping. I was not expecting breaking news on Sunday night at 8 p.m. I will check with A Moment In Time on their pricing, and with Wilsonart on “why the big expansion of colors” on Monday morning.
There are now three different manufacturers of boomerang laminate, each with variations on the classic design. For more information on these boomerang laminates available today, see my story dated Oct. 20, 2011.

Again: Supa thanks to Whitney. And yee haw, our boomerang selection just doubled.

Wow, this is GREAT! The countertops our house came with can use replacing and IMO, Formica is the way to go. LOVE the Poodleskirt (pink), though it would probably not work in our new kitchen. Might make a fun desktop, though…Thanks for the tipoff!

Hi Pam,
Wow! I’m so excited to be able to provide these additional 11 patterns for our customers. The colors and patterns are great. It has people talking.
Thank you so much for posting them on your website. The costs have remained the same as you have already posted.

Thanks, Tammy,
There are so many of us who live in mid century homes who want to keep them as they were originally designed, and it is hard to do.
When a company like Wilsonart helps us with great designs like this it adds fun to our homes. I want to use one the boomerangs in my bathroom!
Trina says
I knew there was a reason that I have put off replacing my counter tops!! Time to order some samples and start sweet talking the hubs. Thanks Pam.

Ooh…I love the one called “retro mint”. I can’t have new counter tops and honestly, ours are still in great shape but if say, I found lots of money behind a wall, I’d get those.

Follow up question, Pam: Didn’t I read here that we could have these ordered through Home Depot/Lowes? I seem to remember some comment about the ‘limited choices’, but now that they’ve extended the line maybe it’s doable?
hannah says
Oh yay! Maybe with the tax refund this year I can get a new counter top!! The few choices we had just weren’t on my radar. Unless I missed that pink/aqua/brown and white one.
Great news!!

The 60’s are back. Time to tear this shiny new boomerang countertop out in about 8 years when its passed out of style… again.
pam kueber says
I disagree. Once 50 years have passed, these retro styles become classics.
Janice says
My last house had original boomerang countertops – grey & pink against a white backround. *Sigh* I miss it. Maybe it’s time for some in THIS house, huh?
Connie Heien says
Love these!! My home church has the best in great shape-a huge room of it! But I need flooring-anyone have help with that?

Pam, I first saw the grey/red combo in a sub shop in Columbus, Ohio about 8 years ago and inquired about where they got it from. They confirmed WilsonArt as the manufacturer but then they were only commercial products. Seems as thought they have released them to us, finally!
