Hi….Do you know of anyone in Canada selling retractable pendant lights i.e. Moe Lights? I am redoing my kitchen in vintage 50’s and 60’s style, and my ideas hinge on having a retractable pendant light over the 60’s style kitchenette style table.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cathy

I have been told that these are no longer to code, hence, they are not made any more. That said: Consult with your own professional to assess.

Hi Pam
I seem to recall seeing on your site stainless steel trim -with sort of a “cove” shape that finishes off where a formica countertop meets its backsplash. For the life of me, I can’t seem to find it now. I believe the same outfit does SS trim for counter edges as well.
muchas gracias,
rob

New York Metals does the stainless steel. See this page including the links inside it >> https://retrorenovation.com/countertop-edges-metal-steel-aluminum-midcentury-vintage-retro-kitchen/

Hi,
I am the Main Street Director from Cherokee Oklahoma, and looking for aqua ceramic tile that has diagonal grooves on half of the 2×2 tile. Any suggestions of where to find it? It is aqua. I could send a picture but I am not sure where to send.
Pam Kueber says
Hi Schaunesse, that’s a rare sounding tile. The only one I could recollect that had that sort of appearance is here http://www.auc-tile.com/catalog/brittany_misty4.html but I think it’s 4×4.
Here’s the master list of places to look https://retrorenovation.com/2019/01/22/12-places-to-find-4-x-4-ceramic-bathroom-tile-in-vintage-colors/
If you are doing an online search you might try the term dimensional tile as you look… also, if it’s possible to salvage one piece, flip it over, and see who made it (if you are lucky, there may be a mark) that would certainly help too.
Good luck.

I bought a house 5 years ago in an age where there was 10-15 ft of flood water from hurricane katrina. Built in 1954. I have recently decided to change flooring and found under all the floors througout the house is terrazzo flooring in great shape but had glue spattered on them from the bad way the house was put back together . How would you get blue off then polish floors ? Thanks

Hi Luigi, I am not an expert on this question — on questions like these I refer readers to find their own properly licensed professionals to assess what you are dealing with and help you figure out an answer. Good luck.

Hi Kathryn, these are vintage and come up occasionally, buy rarely. I’d suggest keeping an eye on ebay, craigslist and facebook marketplace….
