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

Why are they marked , they are correct!

I am in awe of people who have this kind of vision, to see the potential in a “castoff” and turn it into something so great. Wow. Just wow. ????????????
Karen says
I never would have thought of turning it upside down! I was wondering about the stability with the open part on the bottom. What did you use for the top of the bar?
Pam Kueber says
The bar top is a piece of cedar that I bought at an estate sale many years ago.
The bar seems pretty stable — it’s heavy — but as I said in the video I plan on adding more supports.
Linda says
Full on brilliant, Pam!
Dale says
To Jay’s point – on projects likethis, could you also publish a few pics in addition to the video? Whether its because we can’t get to YouTube, or its data limits or download speeds, video is often difficult or impossible to view.
Thanks!

I’ll do a story with just photos this week…
Alice says
Pam – what a great job! Lord knows, I am so tired of repairing and renovating this house and looking forward to the day I can do “fun projects” rather than scraping wallpaper and patching plaster!
Wow – this is your 10th year? That mean’s hubs and I have been retro-renovating this house for 10 years because we found you the weekend we bought our mid-century ranch!
Thanks for the energy you keep giving!
