Bullion Fringe - Is it Dead to You??

I really want to hear your opinion on this one, even though I'm sure the majority of you will say (hell) no.  But the subject is bullion fringe, and I'm wondering if there would ever be a snowball's chance in hell that you would consider using it. Anywhere.  For anything.

OK mostly I'm wondering about using bullion fringe on furniture.   Like the fringe on the settee in this shot.  Would you ever do that?  Or even consider it as an option?

I think most of us would rule out bullion fringe because it seems old fashioned and a little stuffy, but in the space above I don't think the room reads "formal" at all.  I think the seagrass rug, the fabric choices and the soft color palette help knock down the fussiness.

I don't know why this Pinterest image is so grainy, but I wanted to use it because I thought the use of bullion fringe in such a modern setting was interesting.

I love this image because all of the design elements are so traditional, but (to me), the space feels modern. And don't they all look happy with those bullion fringe trimmed sofas?

Have you figured out which way I'm leaning?  Could you ever see yourself with bullion fringe trimmed anything?

Favorite Pieces

What?  Friday already????

Before we get this weekend underway, I want to share a few of my favorite pieces from last weekend's shopping trip in Atlanta.  

How cute is this 1960s Drexel night stand?  I love the brass caps on the legs and the marble top.

  I think this piece is worthy of a bedroom like this.  Poodle optional of course.

Agreed?  Call/email me.  Let's make this happen at your place!

Also got a PAIR of these fab mid-century mini consoles.

Are dying over the hardware and burlwood details?  Me too!  I think one will take up residence at The Dollhouse in my teeny tiny foyer. 

So handsome.

And, you already know I love these little brass pharmacy lamps.  

His twin is going to my booth, so grab it while its still there!

AND, if you're wondering what my favorite piece of furniture is in my home, head over to my gal Tiffany's blog and see for yourself!

Have a fantastic spring weekend, kids!!!

So here's what I've been up to

Happy tax day!  When I saw what would be going down around here this past weekend

I decided to get out of town.  And that's just what I did.

There was lots of shopping, and I found some exceptional pieces for my booth and for The Dollhouse!  So many great pieces that they deserve - and will have -a post all their own.

There was some restyling of Mom's secretary to accommodate her growing collection of blue & white porcelain.

New lighting got installed 

for this nursery project.

There was some rug obsessing  and a final selection

for this dining room project 

all topped off by this situation at Wal-mart.  (about 60 people ready to check out and 3 lanes open.)

Now fill me in on what you've been up to!  Taxes done? Extensions filed?  Good shopping finds?
