Mr. GreenJeans -- From Overalls to Modern Chic

Good Morning Captain!

Well not exactly your beloved Mr. GreenJeans from the children's show Captain Kangaroo (though way before my time), but the popular and historic restaurant in downtown Toronto!  I was watching one of my favorite designers, Sarah Richardson, and her HGTV show, Design, Inc., and absolutely fell in love with her transformation of Mr. GreenJeans Restaurant and Bar.  Her vision took the tourist attraction to a completely new level.  From overalls and beer bottle caps to elegant, chic, and ultra modern.  


View from the outside.  Love how the flowers prepare you for the elegance inside.

Mix of lush green hues, bright whites, and florals --- a winning combination!

Great lighting design!  The layers of chandeliers provide each table with its own warm dining experience.
In the lounge, Sarah's team uses steel tabletops and chocolate browns to add additional elements of design.
Overall, a fabulous job by the Sarah Richardson Design team and Design, Inc.!  When I am in the Toronto area, I will definitely be stopping by.

Happy Designing!
