Its Monday and I'm looking at some" studs"!


It seems that good studs are everywhere, decorative metal studs that is! Whereas studs used to be primarily on a decorative sofa or chair, it has now crossed over into almost every aspect of decor.  We see studs now on wall coverings, ottomans, benches, doors and even pillows!  I remember my first upholstered room that I installed, yes, "that I installed".   I upholstered a library for a designer and had to use stud trim to rim under the crown molding and above the rail/wainscoting. Thank God for brass stud taping, it is literally joined together and you only have to add one brass tack to every 8 studs. That was quite a job, but was gorgeous at completion. Now there are so many different studs to choose from and with them already adhered to wall coverings the daunting task of adding them is cut out! I have found some of my favorite stud applications and I hope you agree they are truly worth adding to a room!

Thank goodness I did not have to to this stud job!! It is reminiscent of the deep green velvets walls of the library we did, but the studs basically line the perimeter.
