I think the creme looks more original but I like the blue.

Those are nice, I like the green one.
Our neighbor, who is also rebuilding a ham, is putting the agate looking one into his trailer. I did not realize it was a Jonathan Adler design.

I actually have samples of the cream and orange out in the Shasta right now. I like the cream, but I don't think it will be the right look. We plan to not paint most of the birch so I want something colorfulful for the table and counter.

We installed the creme lacquered linen in our 57 Westerner. It looks great. Plus, we ordered from Lowe's and they also sell smaller sheets (30x96). Cost was around $40. More than enough material for the countertop and dinette table.

I like the cream linen design from Formica/Jonathan Adler too. I just ordered a sample and a few other samples of Formica designs and colors. Have you seen the series (Spectrum) from Wilsonart? It's very similar to the linen pattern but it's available in a bunch of colors! I ordered some samples of these too. Fun! www.wilsonart.com/laminate/virtual-design-library/spectrum |

When we did Hamlet (6 years or so ago), these weren't available, but we used a nice yellow linen print. It looks a lot like the cream one as far as the pattern goes, except it's brighter. Nice to see the retro designs.

I ordered samples from Formica about three days ago but haven't been able to rouse the people at Wilsonart. I'm thinking nobody checks their email and the "live chat" isn't real. Disappointed  ? Would love to see pics of how your projects come out. |

I ordered from Formica and Wilsonart online, no problems with either website. I'll report back when/if I receive the samples.

I received the Formica samples today. I don't like the linen pattern in person, it looks like a photo and it's nothing like the original linen formica in our ham. I like the red bubbles and the dog bone patterns. It will be interesting to compare the Wilsonart linen-like pattern to the Formica one, side by side. They haven't arrived yet.  The original looks like a mix of colors rather than a photo transfer:  |

Mountainsounds, I like your original one a lot. I have a thing for green. These came today. My wife wasn't sold on any of these but more are on the way.  I think it's fun getting free samples in the mail. Childish, I know, but fun. |

I like green too. This green pattern is on the counter in the Starfire. I like it but it doesn't harmonize with the seating.  I'm thinking the Starfire will have a red and cream color scheme to go with the original red and cream cattle brand embossed seating. I'm leaning towards a light colored formica for the table and counter/back splash and a red swirl linoleum for the flooring. I need to order the linoleum samples too but first I need to find them... |

mountainsounds those linen ones are terrible and don't look anything like the photo online, Formica right? I also love your original green, so pretty. nccamper your linen photos look much better than mountains, which brand are yours? I like them, just wish they had more of a retro color selection.
