What if I told you I had a dining room to share with you that featured psychedelic wallpaper, a hanging macrame planter, and an oversized poster of Stevie Nicks? You would probably say “Sounds pretty wild, Lindsey. I can’t wait to see the after.”
Don’t you know me well enough by now?
That IS the after!!
This formerly staid and very maroon dining room has time-traveled back to 1975 and returned with a new take on some old trends. Let’s discuss.
- Wallpaper: having a major comeback
- Macrame: hotter than ever.
- Tropical print fabric: no duh
- Stevie Nicks: never not cool
So there you have it. The coolest dining room you never knew you always knew.
Now get out there and bring some other old trends back to life, why dontcha? I’m thinking … the return of sponge painting!
Actually let’s leave that one alone.

July 13, 2016 at 2:39 PMWow! My favorite part is the tropical print fabric. And the teal wall. The macramé planter….no joke, my mom used to do macramé in the 70s and we did it with her. Some things don’t need to come back, at least for me. I figure I had macramé and ponchos and corduroy the first time around so I don’t need to do them again 🙂 White disco boots, on the other hand, are fully welcome.
