Studded walls

I've said before how I think that upholstered doors is the ultimate attention to detail.  That is of course if there are no upholstered nailhead walls nearby to compare them to.  I can't imagine all the work and effort that goes into creating one of these amazing studded walls.  Especially those that form specific patterns over the wallpaper or fabric.  There is already wallpaper designed to look like studded walls making the process a lot easier, and none the less beautiful.  Enjoy!

Hammered Brass

Only a few would argue with me that if there were a synonym word for Glam that would be Brass.  I know that finishes in a decor would depend on what environment you are willing to create.  In a farm house you may probably find chrome or brushed chrome instead of brass?  But for environments or atmospheres where a dose of sophistication is required you probably would end up with some brass thrown in.  It's a classic!  Hand hammered brass takes all that up a notch by adding texture and a sense of provenance.  We've seen it vastly used in Moroccan design, which is known for being exotic and sometimes over the top.  Below are a few items that would make anything else around them dance and be merry.  Enjoy!

I'm in the process of sprucing up this blog's "looks".  My goal is to create a clean and undistracted background for the images and posts to stand out.  I'm pleased with it so far but it's actually a work in progress.
