Pam Kueber - April 25, 2017, Updated: June 22, 2021

Retro Renovation Rock n Roll Ruby counter top laminate in a kitchenA Lustron house for sale — and I spy: a renovated kitchen that includes Retro Renovation® by Wilsonart® Rock ‘n Roll Ruby boomerang laminate countertops. It’s so nice to see this yummy red boomerang countertop in this cute historic house! Thanks to Andrea Kubachko of Urban Durham Realty, who has listed this Lustron house for sale in Durham, N.C., and to photographer Jed Gammon of Jed Gammon Photography for permission to use these photos. And thanks to Virginia, who tipped us to this house via our Facebook page.

  • How to get samples directly from Wilsonart.
  • You can buy the laminate easily from Home Depot.
  • Read the launch story with all the details.

Over the Facebook page, reader Kelly suggested this was a rare-ish three-bedroom model. We’ve written a wee bit about Lustron houses over the years: 

  • Lustron house #549 — reconstructed inside the Ohio Historical Society.
  • The story of Lustron house #549 — including a 38-page booklet chronicling its disassembly.
