I haven't found anything on hardware in the 60's yet, but I did find a slideshow of 73 pink kitchens: [link]
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

My 1949 house has brass.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sparky, dude, you know that if I am in Baltimore, I will also be invading your house. Have to see baby still, after all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If you can find an architectural salvage place you can probably get whatever kind of door hardware you want on the cheap.
I love exploring this place. [link]

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Our house only dates back to the 1970s, so no fancy door handles here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Thanks for all the links. I think the shiny brass-plate may be age appropriate, but I am much more of a chrome girl, so I think a change at some point will have to happen. The house is a 1961, and very much a traditional, not modern for the mid-century style. I love the old smaller real brass ones in my 1930s co-op, and I may buck authenticity to get something like them or glass at some point.
ION I feel like warmed over doo this morning and would like to just stay in bed all day.

Shit.
I think my sister and nieces have to evacuate. They would totally be in the evacuation zone as all of the news is coming out of Ewa Beach, where they live, and their house is across the street from the beach.
ETA And in talking to my mom, my sister + family are evacuating, heading to her in-laws' place who are further inland and uphill. Yoiks. Ewa Beach is exactly where it's going to hit and they believe it will at 11:00. The evacuation bells should ring at 6:00. I hope she's already out.

In lighter news, Johnny Weir's response to the Quebecois who were asshats about him ("“We should make him [Weir] pass a gender test at this point,” and Mailhot then joking that Weir should compete in the women’s competition. The two broadcasters later issued an on-air apology.") is pretty awesome, including
“I would challenge anyone to question my upbringing and question my parents’ ideals and feelings about bringing up me and my brother, who’s completely different from me but taught very much the same way that I was,” Weir said.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, Kat. I'm glad they are evacuating!
And I watched all of Be Good Johnny Weir yesterday and enjoyed it A Great Deal.
