Deck on the roof! Although chairs and a cooler on the roof would certainly be sufficient. I just like a roof you can hang out on. Some potted plants and you've got a swanky rooftop garden! I don't think I can help with the Formica, I am prone to liking whatever is put in front of me there. Very pro dinette set, though, and that chair is super cute. This is with the green and white floor or something else? I am sure you made that clear before but I have forgotten.
Making a mental note of pickled turnips.
Wow that’s amazing about the tenants’ rent! I mean obviously there’s also upkeep but go you guys!
They're actually way under market too since they've been there for 12 years.
We're keeping the garden apartment for ourselves so we've got an extra separated work space, and for guests and a rec room for Matilda and her friends. But the previous owners were using it as an Air BnB and made good money on it.

Something like that. Still musing, but yes the checkerboard linoleum/marmoleum tiles would be in the garden apartment, and we'd do something more Arts & Crafts in the 2nd floor flat.
I think I like the Retro Nostalgic Gray. Couldn't tell you why, but that's the one calling to me.
I need more opinions on those Formica laminate patterns, people!
I had to bookmark the post to look at the links later. Looking forward to the browsing!!
Maybe Retro Oxford pattern for the table. Maybe Retro Surf...
I like both those, and also rather fond of the Turquoise Glacier and Grey Cracked Ice.
Honestly, I would say that for the garden apartment, you've got a wonderful opportunity to do hunting for actual vintage tables, though the Formica on those is less spectacular. They're usually pretty damn solidly built.
And I hope you're spending a lot of time at Retro Renovation. [link]

I am so excited for David and JZ!
I've done that, so don't feel too bad. Luckily, earrings aren't an absolute necessity. I also once managed to put on a skirt SIDEWAYS (I went to put my hand in my pocket and it was in front, rather than the side. Kind of a marsupial effect.
I once managed to not put on a skirt. Like, I had a top and tights, and then put on my coat and went to work! Luckily I went to work at a costume shop so I found a skirt!
