My Pipe Dream

I think piping is hot!  Like nailhead, it is a detail that can make upholstered furniture really shine.

One of these days I would like to have this irresistible extra level of detail added to my solid colored upholstered pieces.

Do you notice how this slim fabric cord in a contrasting color gives this sofa some pizazz?  It's brilliant!

Why not take an old slipcover and bring it to your local upholsterer and tell him/her you want a thin contrast welt (probably no larger than a quarter inch) on all seams?

How about a cushion?  I love how the black contrasting piping on the white cushion ties everything together!

So, do you love contrast piping as much as I do?  Do you own any furniture pieces with piping; if so, please share!
