One of my favorite details in my historic home is its original vestibule. In too many Victorian houses, the vestibule has been opened up to add a few square feet to the living room, and that tiny entryway - the only separation between outside and in - is totally lost.
I was a fortunate that the vestibule in my 1895 rowhouse had been maintained, including its original tile (or so we've been told), but it felt like a sad little pass-through.
When you have original tile that's in decent shape, there's practically a law that you must keep it. I happened to love the seafoam green color of the tile, so I was delighted to work around it.
A black trellis wallpaper from Rifle Paper Co. was the ultimate winner, and it perfectly picks up both the green tones from the tile. The doors got a dark forest green paint makeover.
