Delicate

I find myself constantly drawn to small and delicate fretwork, trellis and pierced patterns.

A good blanc de chine lamp is no exception.

    I love those big metal grate sheets at the hardware store....they remind me of this. I always thought they would be fun on a door or to be used as a magnetic board....painted.
    Pretty images too.

    I too am constantly drawn to such detailed designs. That is until I get them home for a few months and remember who has to dust them...

    These are all lovely. I'm especially drawn to the Chinese chest in the Thomas Callaway & Associates designed bedroom (third photo from the bottom).

    These are all so pretty! I'm really loving that orange bathroom vanity and the wainscotting in the second pic - such a lovely detail to dress up a room :)

    I like the fretwork as well. To me, it adds a nice texture to a room.

    I have resisted cutwork lamps and vases for years now because I already have enough lamps and vases! But, seeing these makes me want all over again.

    Also, that second to last pic from Domino- I think I stared at that page for a good 8 minutes when I got that issue! Lovely.

    adds a lot of visible texture to a room, doesn't it? also, strikes me as a little ethnic for some reason.
    great roundup!
    Best,

    The delicate fretwork is really lovely and reminds me of screens you see in Morocco! What a great addition to a room.
