Imagine eating a hearty bowl of Quaker oatmeal followed by a dish of chocolate pudding topped with Cool Whip, and you have the essence of this color scheme for a breakfast room just off your kitchen or patio. It's G-r-r-r-e-a-T!
Inspiration: Vacron-Bopp Decker melamine plastic cereal bowl, early 1960s vintage, made in Birmingham, Michigan. (I've literally been eating out of this bowl since I was an impressionable Saturday morning cartoon watching kid). I recently discovered they also made these indestructible bowls in delicious yellow and pink, in addition to the aqua. They also made other pieces such as coffee mugs, a coffee pot, and a covered round casserole.
Elements:
Paints: Araucana Teal by Martha Stewart Living; Alpine White, Chocolate Mousse, and Natural Brown by Benjamin Moore.
(I'd use Alpine White for the walls, Araucana Teal for trim, and I'd paint a hardwood floor with fat stripes of Chocolate Mousse and Natural Brown).
Fabrics: Mixer BK-Patina by Robert Allen. Polyester/cotton. (I'd use this for a mid-century modern sofa or loveseat).
Dune in Birch. Linen/cotton.
(I'd use this for dining chairs or even as curtains because the fabric has a nice drape to it).
