Cabana on Seventh
Heart and soul is 1908s: Building was completed in the early 1980s, the repositioning plan included repurposing some of the original design elements, yet stylizing the property for today’s consumer.
1980s Design Trends:
1980s-Pattern add removable wall covering to existing cabinets.
1980s kitchens almost always had room included for the kitchen table, and there was a separate formal dining room. Today we’re more likely to see kitchen island tables, breakfast nooks and open plans in which the kitchen is right next to the dining area, but the kitchen table is starting to make a comeback.

Southwestern —textiles and artwork
Southwestern style. During the ’80s Southwestern style spread across the U.S. faster than Chi-Chis franchises. It was usually a common formula of Navajo blanket plus skull plus gratuitous use of apricot paint equals “Southwestern.”
Today Southwestern style is as popular as ever, but the kitschy theme-y-ness has been replaced by subtler interpretations of Spanish colonial desert style.
Colors: Green… orange… Purples… Teals.
Bright:. Fun colors, Palm Beach-y style and ’80s retro elements arranged in a new way. While the colors are very bright, they stop short of the obnoxious blinding neons of the ’80s.
Warhol styled artwork
