I love using nailheads as a decorative detail in the home. You can easily customize pieces like beds, chairs, tables and even bulletin boards with some nailhead trim. It is a great way to emphasis the lines of a piece or to add a little somethin' somethin' to a neutral or simple object. Recently, I thought it would be easy to reupholster my own chair and use decorative nailheads along the bottom edge. Ummm, not so much! It wasn't as easy as I thought to get them lined up straight (as I am sure there is a trick to this that I will learn before my next attempt) but I am still happy with how it turned out!
I especially love the use to emphasis the feminine curves of furniture!
I love the use of a ribbon trim anchoring the nailheads!
I love it mixed with the texture of raffia!
I love the double rows of nailheads!
You can put them close together or separated out.
They come in many sizes.
I am really liking these larger ones!
And they come in many finishes too!
