Mother Goose and Trim






Bullion fringe reminds me of that old nursery rhyme about the little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. (Click here if you're not familiar with it.)

When it's good, it's very, very good.....

Madeleine Castaing's home (French Interiors: The Art of Elegance, Christina Vervitsioti-Missoffe photographer)


Carolina Herrera's home (Fernando Bengoechea, photographer)


Miles Redd interior (Elle Decor, Simon Upton photographer)


Bedroom of Oscar and Annette de la Renta (Vogue, François Halard photographer)

...but when it is bad it is horrid!

  5. Oh yes, I always like this kind of fringe ... it also makes fantastic, weighty tassels to use as curtain tiebacks or on door knobs to add a little touch of fringe!

  7. A line from one of my favorite childhood books! Love it! Love the bullion story too. It is amazing how it softens the lines of the piece and the room! Love your musings! Another example can be found at http://hickorychair.com/product_additional_photos.aspx?url=395_29RM&PhotoID=3899
    Enjoy!
