Fresh Fabrics Friday: Robert Allen's Bandings Collection

Today I share a little bit of a different angle on "FFF," trims. This new collection from Robert Allen is just delightful, made up of bands, tapes and gimps in a variety of materials, widths and colors. The trims in this collection are simple and elegant, working with many decor styles. Using trim is the kind of detail that can take a room from nice to fabulous, giving the pieces where trim is used a custom, one of a kind look.

Special trims get me almost as excited as gorgeous fabrics, there are so many creative ways to utilize them.  What projects have you done lately where a gorgeous trim played a star role?

Thanks for bearing with me over the past week with my computer issues, I think it's safe to say that we have conquered these problems and are moving on!  Thanks for your visits, comments and support, you all make my day!

Have a wonderful Fall week-end, enjoy!

Does your room need a “prescription” for a change of decor, function or design? 
If so please contact me, I would love to help your room feel better with a Design Concept Board or a complete Room Rx.

    Aw, thanks for including my lamp trim update, Cathy! I do love a good trim detail. It's such a special thoughtful addition to a room that makes a real difference.

    I'm so glad you changed it up a bit and included trims in FFF. I've been thinking about trims more as I don't have much experience at all with them, and was thinking the other day about good sources for trims (have any more?). I haven't shown them yet on the blog, but I added a thin navy cording to white lamp shades in my living room. It was a quick/cheap update that packs a punch.
    Enjoy your weekend Cathy!

    Glad your computer issues have been resolved. I know how frustrating they can be - a daily issue for me which I hope to take care of shortly. Trim is so versatile as you pointed out. Love the selection here. Just last week I added trim to my daughter's floral chandelier - which I have been working on since the summer. Will share it soon.
