This is a picture of my Mother-in-Law's eat-in kitchen in the 70s. When I came across this picture I died because I would use this exact wallpaper, and thonet chairs in a room I design today! I never knew my Mother-in-Law was so hip and shared my love of kelly green.
My version of this room would look something like this:
I'd start with the
lattice wallpaper in grass from Echo Home (I've been waiting to use this for a client FOREVER) on the walls. For a dining table, I'd opt for
this version in a clean white.
Of course we have our thonet chairs. I'd search out a vintage set (hopefully 6) and paint them a fresh green like Sherwin Williams Overt Green.
I'd dress the table with a runner made out of some simple grey ticking for some contrast to the green.
As a centerpiece we'll stick with something simple like a bunch of
simple white daffodilsand place them in these modern canisters from Z gallerie.
Thanks for the inspiration Joan! If any of you have rooms from another era that you'd like to recreate, send me an email and I'll do my best.
