Kitchen wallpaper - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just occurred to me: I wish they had never changed the wallpaper in the GG kitchen from Season One.

No biggie.....I just wanted to share this trivial observation.

The wallpaper changed?

Very different. Season One had a gold background with a tiny white print. Diamond shapes, I think. You can see it briefly during the theme song opening of the show. It shows up behind Bea Arthur as they show her picture while they're introducing the cast.

Season Two and beyond, has the taupe and cream colored big leaf pattern.

Does this help? Screenshots from the kitchen. I tried to get shots from the same angle. Dorothy season 1, Blanche season 2.

Thanks, Opus! That really helps!

I gotta say, now that Bandonurse and Opus have brought this to my attention, I prefer the S2+ wallpaper. Their house was so full of leaves and flowers and lanais; flower-printed comforters, floral wallpaper in the bedrooms; vases with flowers in them. The leaf print really goes with that theme much better than the white dots.

I do wonder why they changed it. What network executive was like, "It's a great show, but we've got to revamp a few things, starting with that dreadful wallpaper!" ?

Wasn’t it Warren Littlefield? Don’t we blame Warren Littlefield for everything?

I don't want him to take the blame for this. I like the revamped wallpaper.

Although he was probably all, "There's too many dots! Ten, twelve dots!"

LOL, I guess I'm outnumbered.

Never been a fan of big, bold patterns, I guess. For instance, the wallpaper in Blanche's bedroom is hideous to my eye.

I think it's 50/50. Wawwie, BestTV, and Opus never voted.

It's very 80s, for sure. But the dots clash with the rest of the house.

Neither wallpaper is great but I like the leaf pattern better
