Well I just have to say Ronald, that I so admire the bravery of you and many of the decorators from this period. I just love the unabashed use of this incredible blue, and the fact that the old parquetry has been given a truly POP rework by slapping on the white paint. This provides a wonderful contrast to the "YVES KLEIN Blue" style walls.
The splash of primary red and the faux zebra rug which is actually painted onto the floor with a red outline, is genius!
Thanks for posting this amazing vintage room. I absolutely love the way the faux zebra rug has been painted onto the floor. I want to paint every wooden floor I see white and paint the walls a primary colour.
ReplyDeleteHey J, love all the red white and blue and the African references. But what I really want to know is what the foetus/moonlike like shaped object on the blue shelf below the faux Van Gogh painting is.
ReplyDeletePlease do tell...

the room is wonderful! Now what sort of beverage would we indulge in if were were sitting in this room....would have to be 70..esque?
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be a "Blue Lagoon" of course, which contains Blue Curacao, Vodka topped up with lemonade! How refreshing!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Dave
ReplyDeleteYes that funny little" foetus/moonlike shaped" object is indeed very interesting. It does indeed look very "in utero", with the head like shape bowing down.
It's otherwise known as an "ornament knick knack thingy"! I hope that clears things up for you Dave!
