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?
Pam Kueber says
The gift shop is just beyond the bar….

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…
