BAM for last week’s topic, HUNTER GREEN!
Last week’s discussion was mixed. Most of my readers are open to hunter green coming back into vogue in a fresh way, but a few of you were not very excited to see the color come back around. To read the comments from last week, click here.
This week, let’s discuss…Contrast Welting
Are you a fan?

This recipe is one of my all time favorite weeknight pasta recipes. It is healthy, light and full of flavor. It is a Cooking Light recipe, although you would never know it, from March 2010. I have made it for several people and have had rave reviews each time. This week, I made it with [...]

BAM! for Bubble Lighting This week, I want to mix things up a little bit. I love color, but when it comes to paint I typically stick with neutrals on the wall, bringing in color through art and accessories. Earlier this week, I was reading through the March’s issue of House Beautiful on color and [...]

I hope you had a terrific weekend. I spent a portion of my weekend working on the kitchen. I finally broke down and painted! Originally, I had planned to paint the room a dark charcoal. Hoping for a deep, matte charcoal, I chose Knight’s Armor by Olympic as the final color. However, part way through [...]

My Parents Front Porch in Full Bloom Thank you for your input on the kitchen color Wednesday, you talked me into it… This weekend, I am going to jump in and paint the kitchen deep charcoal. The color I chose is one that I picked up when I first moved into my apartment in Charleston. [...]

In all the pictures above, yes! The fabrics have to work together in some way; some colour combos should never be seen aha

BAM! for me. It makes a piece of furniture, or pillow, look finished and I alway love contrast.

Tiffany recently posted..How To… Magnetic Fabric Bulletin Board
BAM! BAM! BAM! I think it’s a terrifically upscale addition, although I agree that the contrasting piping must be CAREFULLY chosen.
By the way, that first room up there (NOT the kitchen) has me drooling!
Most definitely! It’s been a trend for a while now, and it’s definitely not going anywhere. Market was a full of contrasting welts!! I love that it showcases another little detail not left untouched in a space!

BAM! Not only do I love it but I’m president of the fan club! The best decision on the chairs I just finished was the contrast welting. Can’t wait to do it agian.

Slam, dated looking.
An opportunity to add another color to the mix and some visual interest??? Sign me up. EVERY TIME. (c; And I agree, you rock at picking the topics for these, every time one pops up, I’m like *headslap*, totally!!!

The fun feel it gives a space is a bam, but I’m very practical and it will tie you down to certain colors that will prevent you from being able to easily change the feel of a space. For that it’s a slam. (or did I get the bam and slam confused?) You know what I mean!! M.

Pam @ Simple Details recently posted..keeping my head above water…
I have to go with a Bam….love it. Wish I had more of it.
Contrast welting gives furniture such a finished and designer look and really grounds it…keeps a solid light color piece from appearing to “float”. Not sure what is dated about highlighting the shape and outline of a piece of furniture and in a crisp and trendy color it is right on trend.
