It's all in the details - part I (chairs)

Often the difference between good and great design is in the details. I particularly love interesting and whimsical details on chairs.

It can be as simple as a contrasting welt. I love the wedgewood blue contrasted with white. This picture is from Domino Magazine decorating contest; entry by Catherine of Mill Valley, CA.

Or, an interesting wide stripe on a settee and chair. From Mrs. Blandings blog.

Here is the chair the Mrs. Blandings recently recovered. The contrasting welt is beautiful, but what really caught my eye is the nailhead Greek key detail. Beautiful!

I particularly love contrasting trim on the bottom of a chair. I think it is a beautiful finishing touch. My favorite table too...by Niermann Weeks. Photo by John Umberger.

Constrasting color on the bottom of the slipcover, picked up in the pillow.

An amazing chair from Stanford Furniture. I love the trim on the bottom, and the coordinating red welting.

The details in these chairs makes them so interesting, don't you think?
