Vintage 50s wallpaper in a foyer

Door chime

Flickr friend John4kc is a retro recon junkie, and has many wonderful photos on his photostream (click the photo to get there). This Nutone door bell is a classic – but be still my beating heart, how I adore that vintage wallpaper. The graphics, so sweet!… and chartreuse+pink+green+red on cream — a most wonderful color combination. Thanks, j4kc!

Folks, the foyer is a great place for vintage wallpaper — you only have one chance to make a good first impression!

      Vintage wallpaper is always so happy and gay (the 1950′s definition). One wall of it really brightens up a room!

      I completely forgot that as a child we had that doorbell. Ours had 3 chimes. (Hmm, wonder if I have a photo around here someplace.)

      I love the way photos like this one of wallpaper can bring to light a pleasant memory – that I had completely forgotten!
