Last weekend, a dear Boston friend [who also happens to be designer] spent the weekend with us. Of course, I took the opportunity to discuss our upcoming kitchen renovation and I was immediately challenged on my original concept. My friend's thoughts were inclined toward honoring the mid-century design of our house by using more textural elements, mainly on the walls, which I originally wanted to cover in this wallpaper. I'm now researching other finishes to give the space a more natural and earthier look. Given my love for wall coverings and bold patterns, I'm not entirely convinced yet, but I do think I should explore other looks for this very important family space:
It is pretty, isn't it? Take look here at my original inspiration and let me know which style you prefer. Next week I'll reveal our kitchen as it is now, so you can get a better sense on the scope of this project.
Many thanks to MV for getting my creative juices flowing in an unpredictable direction. The whole family loved hosting you and we look forward to seeing you in July.
