Vote for the winner of our Anne Taintor caption contest

Kate - Updated: June 10, 2014

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

Vote-for-the-winner-Anne-TaintorPam and I had so much fun reading all of the entries for our Anne Taintor caption contest and narrowing it down to our top five favorites. Now we need your help to choose your favorite Retro Renovation themed comment from among our finalists. Mega thanks to everyone who submitted a caption — now cast your vote for the winner below!

    Love Love Love Anne Taintor. Kudos to the 5 finalists…A tough decision especially between two. But had to vote for the one that was the most Anne Taintorish to me. Fantastic job and thanks to Retro Reno for having such a fun idea for all admirers of Anne Taintor!

    These are all very inventive and clever. I found it a really difficult challenge and gave up quickly. Kudos to those who made it to the evening gown portion of the competition!

    What a bunch of clever readers are out there! These are all great….I had a hard time deciding between two of them especially, but finally pushed the Vote button for the one that made me laugh out loud.

    What a fun contest. I love Anne Taintor.

    So hard to choose! By the way, he isn’t painting over wallpaper. He’s using a faux wallpaper roller. I was given one as a gift when I bought my first house.
