My company is restoring this great 1949 cottage to sell in Knoxville, Tennessee. It has 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors, arched doorways, original trim and fixtures, a classic mid-century kitchen, and a huge double lot with fenced backyard. The neighborhood is wonderfully leave-it-to-Beaver. My wife and I live just a few blocks away.
New Retro Kitchen Floor
Peter Herman installed this Armstrong flooring in gray and black. The checkerboard pattern is vintage, and the tile pattern is straight out of the 40s and 50s. This stuff lasts forever and the color goes all the way though, unlike sheet vinyl where the printed color can wear out. The light blue is the new wall color. The darker blue is the original wall color under the backsplash and broom closet (now removed.) The brown is the inside of the wall that sort of broke open (oops) when I was swinging large objects at the broom closet. I’m patching that with drywall. Really.
Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen with the new cabinets!

Wow!! Unique style of kitchen design!!
Hey! Sweet floor! I just got through "retro-ing" my kitchen, and the floor was the first thing to get done. Really makes a difference, doesn't it?
P.S.
I have entered a contest to win a walk-on role on the retro-licious show "Mad Men".
If you would take two seconds to vote for me, I would really appreciate it. Just go to my blog, or use this link to go straight to my photo page.
