Crazy About Contrast Welt

Contrast welting on a piece of furniture adds extra detail

that gives a custom designed appearance. 

In this day and age, manufacturers are
designing products that already have a contrast welt added,

no customization needed. 

This adds a perfect exclamation point of color! 

Take a look at some 'off the shelf' products that have this custom appearing contrast welt!

Here are some fun ideas to make you green with envy...

See #8: What a fun way to celebrate a back stair case.  Pick your favorite hue and paint each

spool a varying shade darker

than the next.  I love this fun idea. 

It gives personality to a staircase.

Golden Girl Glory

Remember Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia? 

Ah, the glorious Golden Girls spent their retirement lounging in their Florida condo drinking coffee and gossiping. 

I love vintage Palm beach decor...

basket weave and palm leaves

trellis and wicker 

There's something nostalgic yet refreshing about it.

Like Betty White,

never quite goes out of style...
