Making it exciting!

Nice - but could be better...

When working on a project, sometimes it’s better to select items for your room that serve as backgrounds for your furniture or objects.  This particular wallpaper is a faux bois done in a soft pale taupe.  The linen fabric has crewel embroidery done in a geometric pattern reminiscent of the southwest.  Together they look great but let’s see what a little upgrading can create.

We used a few decorative nail-heads to create more dimension on the upholstered headboard.  We also applied a wool-like feature mimicking the stripes in the fabric.  We then used decorative nail-heads to form the same design on the paper.

We think we’ve taken a pretty good looking design and made it more exciting!  What do you think?
