Exactly. We're usually tearing those out. I'm thinking that history won't judge the 60's to be timeless decor. |

Tell me about it. I had to repaint the kitchen cabinets both inside and out with that. Then paint over them with white. It looks good. That was my project last july. It took me three weeks, with at least 2-3 hours every day. Lots of cabinets. That sucked. But glad it was done. |

Here's a retro stove similar to one a local fireplace/wood stove dealer has that I looked at. I was pretty impressed. |

The whole house? That's wrong. I can see somebody doing a retro kitchen cafe style, but I can't see a whole house. If you're gonna go retro go even further to Arts & Crafts era.

One of the agreements is that the lady has hired ServiceMaster for a major steam cleaning/smoke removal which will help alot. However, there is still a lot of residual odor and stain that I fear will bleed through the new paint if we don't go all out. |

One of the things I am envisioning is an addition that includes a family room (Man's Room that is). I am actually toying with the idea of a rustic look and trying to find someone with an old barn that has fallen down and use the wood from it as the finished wall where the entertainment system will go.

The 50's look is an 'A' in originalitlity. For resale it would be a different matter. Thats what i try to go with is neutral colors, for resale purposes. Its funny, because my girlfriend will say to replace the floor tile. I say with what? Anything then that, just replace it! I think WTF? I end up useing what i think, because she says she can't pick it out because she doesn't know what to use. Doesn't make sense. That church is really cool BTW. |

RJ...whats the lowdown on the new trend I'm hearing about with "CORK" flooring?
Is it cool or not? Expensive? |

Did some handyman work for my parent's new fan that me and my gal bought for their christmas.
Had to remove the old fan and rearrage the electrical wiring and install the new fan in there. Looks great. Was going to do the plumbing for the dishwasher that we also gave my parents for christmas, but I didn't have the time to do it. |
