Congratulations, Jim and Heidi and Scott — “The Hard Way Awards” winners 2016

pam kueber - Updated: August 19, 2020

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

Congratulations to our “The Hard Way Award” winners for 2016: Jim, for the pink bathroom that he built, inspired by his grandmother’s, and Scott and Heidi, for their restoration of the classic 1950s birch kitchen in their Cinderella ranch house. Kudos to all our finalists! And, thanks to everyone who voted!

Hey, do you have a Retro-Renovated kitchen or bathroom that’s “done” — and a The Hard Way story to go with? Contact me, I’ll explain where to sent photos, and I’ll consider you for a story here on the blog. Could be, you’re a 2017 winner!

    Thanks so much! We have been working on our little house for so long, it is amazing to see it finally coming together! Mid-Century Vegas has some amazing mod and modest architecture. There are many more houses here like ours!

    Congrats to all of them! Both rooms look just beautiful and honestly, make me tired just thinking about all of that work. Well deserved!
