To mimic the backsplash pattern and tie together the two areas, Lindsey chose dark brown-and-white zigzag fabrics for the chairs and sofa pillows. Traditional draperies frame the nook, while the clean lines of the Saarinen-inspired table add a modern edge.

Lastly, Lindsey played up her eclectic mix of furniture and fabrics with a graphic gallery wall filled with an assortment of framed art, including one very special work in crayon by her son Walker. “When creating a gallery wall, always add something three-dimensional, such as the mounted horns used here,” Lindsey says. “It adds interest and keeps it fun.”
