Home improvement stores are taking notice that so many people are opting to purchase older, 1950s and 60s houses and are restoring them to their original state.  To satisfy that market more and more companies are now offering reproduction building materials.

Azrock manufactures vinyl composite tiles in a variety
of vintage colors - white, tan, green, blue-gray.






NBI offers reproduction vintage apron style
farmhouse drainboards and sinks in 18 colors:



Retro Renovation is a popular website that
offers Simpson Doors for vintage ranchers:

Rejuvenation carries an impressive selection of vintage and retro
light fixtures as well as other period-appropriate house parts.

If you're thinking about purchasing a new house, consider an
older home.  They have so much character and it's easier than
ever to find replacement parts and decor accessories.

  2. I keep making my home simpler and simpler. Less is more.
    But I really like the photos. I love my huge sink but I wish it had the built in draining rack like the ones you posted.
