Laminex is my second favorite material to work with after lino. I often find pieces of cool vintage laminex from old kitchen benches or table tops.This funny decorated box was sitting in a skip ready to go to the tip. It is covered with colourful laminex samples with very inventive names for all the shades. I think I will just peel them off as I need them, leaving me a sturdy old storage box.
Just the other day I favourited this flickr image from Comfy & Cosy. Amazing retro laminex kitchen tables. Drool!
Yay Laminex! What an amazing find with all those samples!
ReplyDeleteWe have two laminex settings: one a super cool 1950s blue number and the other a lurid green 1970s one (destined for the back verandah as an 'outdoor setting').
I'd buy every one I could find if I had the room and J wasn't looking!
I didn't realise that you could use laminex too. My BIL works for laminex, I could try to collect bits and pieces if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteThanks curlypops.If it comes in rainbow colours or cool patterns I'm interested!
ReplyDeleteThat laminex covered box is something else. It's a quilt waiting to happen. Is the picture on Flickr? I wanted to favorite it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe quilty laminex box is now on flickr! :-)
ReplyDeletewhat do you do with all the laminex samples?
