Retro Renovations


O.K. all you mid-century retro loving home bodies - we recently came across a website you are going to L-O-V-E with a capital heart!! Retro Renovation is an incredible resource for any nostalgic purist remodeling or admiring the post war style home. Covering the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's the site is chock full of ideas, inspiration, sources and how to's for every room of the house.

What better way to nurture the concept of re-use than by restoring a vintage home? The site also offers reference points for helping to safely remove toxic substances (did someone say lead?) in these domestic gems that were built long before the EPA moved in next door!

So if re-edging your counter tops in stainless steel trim, concrete block patterns and avocado green appliances make you swoon click on over to the Home-Sweet-Home section, roll up your sleeves and start your retro reno!
