Love your site! Can you tell us where to obtain solid color black and white kitchen floor tile ,12×12 — the kind which the color and pattern run clear throrough thank’s
Do you mean resilient tile or ceramic tile? All our kitchen flooring research is in the Kitchen Help / Flooring subcategory here — https://retrorenovation.com/category/kitchen/flooring/
I don’t have much, if any, research on ceramic floor tiles, as they were not common in the midcentury. But, I do have a lot on resilient tiles e.g. https://retrorenovation.com/2015/02/10/23-companies-flooring-cork-linoleum-midcentury-house/
I recently bought a 1962 GE Americana double oven electric stove aqua color. During the transport the bottom oven handle got damaged and some of the enamel was chipped away. Any idea of who I can contact to have it repaired ?
We have a story on this in Kitchen Help / Appliances subcategory, it’s right at the top.
Pam, I never can find the link to your eBay “woddities”. I love looking at it. Can you direct me?
Thanks!

My mother-in-law passed away last week and in thinking about her I remembered her house and kitchen. I googled the unique stove top that she had, a two section fold up electric and was shocked to see not only a picture of her stove top but her counter-top and wall oven in a post of yours from August 9, 2012. The title of the posting was Fold-down electric burners and other treats in Bonnie’s 1958 kitchen. My in-laws lived in {location}. Is it possible that this was a picture of their house with newer owners? I don’t think she lived in that house after about 2002 or so.
I don’t know where Bonnie’s kitchen is located…
Hey Pam,
I was just directed here by Mid-Century Mike… He said you were the best!
Anyway, I recently moved into a mid-century house in downtown Castle Rock. I am looking to pul out some old carpet in the basement and replace with some eco-friendly linoleum. Any ideas on where to find some actual (not vinyl) linoleum in some mid-mod patterns? Thanks so much!

Hi… I don’t understand the question
Hi we recently purchased a Philco Ford refrigerator and are in need of a crisper drawer. We believe the model is RD14 auto. Wondering if you have an idea where we can find one?
Thanks so much for your time,

Nutone Radio Intercom System
I just bought some wall units w/speaker of a Nutone radio intercom system. I got them at a yard sale for $5 for the box. Is it possible to wire an intercom system using this, or creating a fake front with a modern intercom radio system.? My previous house had one of these in working condition. I love it. It made a difference in the sale of my home competition. The new owners were young and excited about having one of these. I now live in another mid-century Eichler style townhome and want to somehow install these. Thanks!
This is not a DIY site, Nora. I’d advise to consult with a professional including whether this old product and its parts contain any hazards you should be aware of so that you can make informed decisions how to handle.
having a hard time getting through to Wilsonart. Is there a problem?
I don’t know…
Hi Pam,
We are considering having Marmoleum installed in our Kitchen, hallway, and dining/laundry area. As it is MAJOR purchase, I would like to ask if you have had negative feedback from your readers who have Marmoleum in their kitchens. Thanks!!
Hi Midge, I am not an expert at vetting such input.
We are very interested in purchasing a Karran or Blanco sink. Could you please send us some information on each. Thanks Dale
I don’t sell anything on this blog. You need to contact the manufacturers listed in the stories you see. Brite bold blue text = hotlinks, click ’em!
You sold some porcelain-look grey steel bathroom tiles on ebay; I need just one of these! Any idea of where to find one, or if the buyer on ebay could be contacted to get just one? Thanks
Mark, I don’t sell anything. I suggest: Keep searching ebay; they come up. Good luck.
Does anyone know what happened to the link about the “Day-n-Night Markers”? Been very curious but the whole page and article are gone from this site. Help??
I took it down because I received several emails from folks who said they were not getting any response.
Hi! I am working on a transaction to have a GE Americana shipped out to me in California and the shipper needs a dollar amount value for it. While this is coming from a family friend, I am not paying for anything other than shipping and I cannot for the life of me find anything online about how much these fridges go for…. do you happen to know how much they are worth? Many thanks!!!
Hi Allen, no, I don’t. You could check ebay or craigslist to see if you can find comps….
