This article is for all my penny pinching, frugal living, creatively resourceful yet sometimes lazy, financially challenged but can make lemonade out of lemons folks who are looking to add a little spice to those boring and out dated curtains, pillows and home accent pieces taking up residence in the comfort of your home.
Contrary to what you may have heard, in just a few simple steps, you can create great custom designed home furnishings without breaking bank or a sweat. All you need is a little imagination, a little patience and some trimmings and viola! pretty curtains, fun pillows, an elegant bedspread….all simply hand-crafted by you.
Here at J&O we carry a large selection of tassels, tie backs, rosettes, gimp braid, tassel fringes, onion fringes, and decorative cords in an assortment of colors and sizes to meet your crafting needs and give your interior accent pieces and window dressings the facelift you are looking for. Why spend almost $50 when with a little hot glue, needle and thread or adhesive spray, you can turn those plain purple pillows into exotic eastern inspired creations for just a few bucks. A 7/16” decorative cording in Midnight Meadow here, a 4” Tassel Fringe in Holiday Splendor there…Martha Stewart watch out! Here we come.
Whether you are revamping an item for yourself or someone else, it’s amazing how much difference the right trim can make in not only the look of the item, but its worth as well. That 1970’s set of old pale blue polyester drapes you got on sale from Gimbels can now be that set of beaded vintage drapes with a modern flair that have your children calling you ‘cool’ and interior design fashionistas wanting to know just ‘Where did you get those?!’
Whatever your personal style, whatever your personal taste, make your home your canvas in which to create works of art that are as unique and original as you; one trim at a time.
