Brass Button Tufting

Speaking of buttons, can I tell you how much I LOVE the brass buttons Amanda Nisbet used in the headboard she created for her Kips Bay room?


I've been planning a DIY tufted headboard project for one of my clients and I think this little brass detail is going to put it over the top.



I'm pushing for a bright cobalt blue fabric. Won't that be gorgeous with the brass accents?? Can't wait.

    It will be awsome!
    Are you doing diamond tufting? If so...I hope you provide a tutorial. It seems way out of my league.

    I've been looking at this room too. I love how they took that wood paneled room and really brought it up to date with a modern edge. I also LOVE that print. Such a sexy room. Thanks for the inspiring wake up call.

    The brass is really lovely -- especially with the white/cream. Can't wait to see your version!

    The walls are actually upholstered (not papered) in Amanda's fabric called Pink Lemonade. So cool, right?
