This morning Pam Kueber of RetroRenovation.com and Kate, Managing Editor and Graphic Designer, posted a piece about me. Over the years I have turned many friends on to Retro Renovation; it is an invaluable source of information and knowledge about all things vintage and mid-century, and my go-to site when I have questions about atomic architecture and furnishings. (Kate also has her own site, RetroRanchRevamp, and it’s as fabulous as her!)
When the Atomic Abode listed on the MLS I emailed Pam to tell her about The Atomic Abode – one last toast to the homestead before I bid adieu to it forever. I did not predict that Pam and Kate would take an interest in my back story as well – why I’m selling the Atomic Abode, and what’s next por moi.
The story published this morning. I had no idea that such an outpouring of affection and admiration could result! On the site and Facebook, people have been so kind and complimentary about the house and furnishings. Pam and her readers are members of my tribe, and it is comforting to communicate with people who get it. Most lovely of all, I now have invitations for cocktails, Tex-Mex, concerts, and places to park Nellie in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Texas!
It feels as if the Universe is blessing this course – giving me the big thumbs up with these delightful and unexpected gifts.

You rock my world, Tammy! xoxoxo
I saw your story on RR and am looking forward to following your adventures. If you ever come through Missouri, we are just off Hwy 70. You can chat with my hubby about RVs–we bought one last fall–and lawyering, and with me about MCM. Good luck!
Stacia, thank you for your comment! I will in fact be going through Missouri – my first trip is to drive Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. I imagine I’ll be there in late September/early October – please keep in touch. If you are on Facebook, please friend me there!
…add Virginia to your welcome mat locations also. And perhaps a midcentury interior decorating consultation while you are at it??
Thank you, Alice! I would love to consult with you – there is nothing I enjoy more than spending other people’s money! I have worked with many friends over the years on purchases, finding the bargains, and where to place them! My suspicion is you don’t need any help, though.
