My husband and I are going to make a retro chrome and laminate kitchen table w/ double chrome legs. We have been able to buy everything we need except for the double leg caps for the bottom of the table legs. I don’t know where else to go. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks ~Fran W

Are you aware of any upholstery fabric that is a nice jadeite, fire king-y green? Moss and olive are the current trend, and I just can’t find a good vintage green. Thanks!

I am not an expert on this, David, I suggest you go to a really good tile store and talk to them about the solution – they can show you.

No single answer to this — start hunting ceaselessly. Salvage places and craigslist nationally are likely your best bets. Good luck. Pam
The listing; Build an Eichler ranch house, 8 original design house plans available today…………was available a few years ago but today
I’m told Berkeley pulled the plans and no one is able to sell them,
but Berkeley. when I contact Berkeley they claim to not have the
plans……..what did they do, go up in smoke? Sort of like living
in Cambria on the Central Coast, “the gangplank syndrome” I’m
here and I don’t want you to move here. Any suggestions? Or at
least a response.
Hi Wil, I don’t know the answer to this. As I recall, I wrote the story… then a few years later the company with the plans asked me to take it down because the plans were no longer available. Check this story out, though: https://retrorenovation.com/2018/10/16/84-original-retro-midcentury-house-plans-still-buy-today/
Pam…HELP!
Any thoughts finding a vintage NuTone push on knob??? ( black )
It’s to replace the vise grip clamped on the metal stem for the timer on a retro NuTone Bathroom Exhaust fan? It’s on the wall. It only turns on the timer, as the wall switch turns on the fan itself. Looks so tacky!! 🙂
Thanks So Much!!
can you postal mail me a color chart for your toilet, round, up to 17 1/2 inches tall, including the seat that flushes well? I have a 1995 Mansfield 130-160 ULF Toilet, standard tank,1.6 gif-6.0 Lpf, ULF, gravity fed flushing action. It doesn’t flush well at all. Keeps plugging up and my plumber said the design is now improved. How is it improved, please?
Linda, I do not sell anything here.
Hi, Pam!
Do you happen to know of a decent source for any cut-offs of solid Westinghouse Micarta? Even small fragments would work for my project. Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated!
I am helping a senior client fix up his apartment and get it ready for sale. I have replaced the appliances with nice used one, but he has an old cooktop, yellow that is built in to the cabinet and would be too costly to replace. I would like to get it re-porcelainized. Do you know anyone who does that in South Florida, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami area? I could not find anyone. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Sharon, no, I don’t know of anyone except for the company we have written about here: https://retrorenovation.com/2015/04/28/reporcelain-refinish-steel-sinks/
