Plaid in the Kitchen

Our mom has great taste, but we like to make fun of her about the plaid wallpaper we had in our kitchen growing up.  After seeing pictures of this sleek, sophisticated kitchen with...gasp...plaid wallpaper, we think we might have to eat our words:

We love the contrast of the plaid wallpaper with the subway tile, and the use of acrylic ghost chairs to provide seating without taking up visual space.  It's such a fresh, clean look.

Want to recreate this look in your own home?

We'd use this wallpaper:

This table:

These chairs:

This stool:

These tiles:

This lighting over the table:

This rug:

We love this updated take on a classic, traditional pattern.  Once again...mom knows best.
