A 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.
Our laminate collection was introduced a little over a year ago. There are seven colorways. Kate and I were super happy with the way Rock ‘n Roll Ruby turned out — these photos make me like it even more.
- How to get samples directly from Wilsonart.
- You can buy the laminate easily from Home Depot.
- Read the launch story with all the details.
Oooh: Look closely at the open wall cabinet — looks like our laminate was used as backing there, too, to give even more pizazz to the dinnerware on display. Great idea!
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.
- The Museum of Modern Art takes an historical look at prefab homes.
Pretty! I will add, I kinda named this one “Ruby” not just because it was red, but also because I knew a Ruby once. She was fun!
