    Nevamar Venus laminate — delightful atomic laminate pattern

    Posted by: Pam Kueber • March 7, 2018

    Oh so pretty: The Nevamar Venus laminate pattern — in four colors, including turquoise, lemon yellow, beige, and white. The atomic pattern in this vintage is delightful, and the colors are retro-lovely.

    Thanks to Krysten, who found a whole chain of vintage Nevamar at a thrift shop. She’s actually selling the chain to me for the *museum*. Meanwhile, she also sent photos, which I’ll feature bit by bit. Above: Dreamy Turquoise Venus.

    Above: White Venus.

    Looks like Krysten has a vintage glitter laminate countertop already, lucky her! White Venus fits right in!

    Above: Lemon Venus. Looks like the starbursties are three shades of yellow/gold — nice!

    Above:  Beige Venus. Very nice. 

    Readers: Alas, you can’t buy this any more. It’s a vintage design no longer made.

    But there are quite a few patterned laminate options out there. To see them, dive into:

    Thanks, Krysten!

      Personally, I’m anticipating the day Pam opens her “museum” so I can drool over all these wonderful pieces in person! Will there be a gift shop too?

      Crushed! Oh, I thought someone found a new source of ordering cool stuff. Well, we can be thankful for seeing these samples. I enjoyed it enough to be disappointed. LOL

      We have a similar pattern with a black background on the soffit above our bar. I got really excited for a moment because I thought this was still available!

      Love how the stars on the laminate are a little blobby. Kinda like hip little sea critters, each relaxed into it’s own mid cent grin.

      Still looking for a place to buy this laminate, Nevamar white venus,
      Need a sheet for the bar I am building for a client. Will probably be several more once this one is complete. Need a supplier for these products.
      Thank you

        I recommend contacting the company directly to find out where you can get this…
