Fringe Benefits

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The details are not the details. They make the design.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Eames</span></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Details matter. If you are looking for a special way to customize chairs, sofas, lamps or pillows in your home, consider passementerie, which is decorative trimming such as tassels, tapes, braids and fringe. Fringe may call to mind the early twentieth-century rooms of <i>Downton Abbey</i> or the flapper frocks of <i>The Great Gatsby</i>, but fresh colors can make the look new. Trims made of tassels or beads add a sense of movement and can even reflect light in a room. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxnfz5xSjxYCfQXJI9zsXJwGA5eedyYDPTENRumseVCvkEPECFEecFI9TsxV6WxioLblZyp2sc_wom3J4HN2ohBoBCL5JLyGoq_dY9OXHfaKka0bYQ4Y7_-5ExwnNk9551CirAaG-9HxI/s1600/harlem-apartment-0511-06-lgn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxnfz5xSjxYCfQXJI9zsXJwGA5eedyYDPTENRumseVCvkEPECFEecFI9TsxV6WxioLblZyp2sc_wom3J4HN2ohBoBCL5JLyGoq_dY9OXHfaKka0bYQ4Y7_-5ExwnNk9551CirAaG-9HxI/s1600/harlem-apartment-0511-06-lgn.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A Napoléon III chair in the living room is upholstered in Tony Duquette’s Tibetan Sun cotton, and urns from HomeGoods are displayed on a console draped in a fabric by Ralph Lauren Home."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elaine Griffin and Michael McGarry's apartment in an 1890s Harlem brownstone.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by Elaine Griffin.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Photography by Joshua McHugh.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://www.elledecor.com/home-remodeling/a-harlem-brownstones-vivid-transformation#slide-6" target="_blank">A Harlem Brownstone's Vivid Transformation</a>" by Nancy Hass.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.elledecor.com/" target="_blank">Elle Decor</a> (May 2011). </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vjd-k8Nlf_Et_B4abGDtlvrIEuX4_7HpFv0CqdeIDjGHd9LrKMEf055cYdD2wiNYbmUMkT0fs_xLMGh2qHNrzXVHl4RJoKe7GibMNgcanoFmHHQ-zSxU1yoMFlheVco60WdAwOOoo-g/s1600/hbx0511Braff01lvr-xln.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vjd-k8Nlf_Et_B4abGDtlvrIEuX4_7HpFv0CqdeIDjGHd9LrKMEf055cYdD2wiNYbmUMkT0fs_xLMGh2qHNrzXVHl4RJoKe7GibMNgcanoFmHHQ-zSxU1yoMFlheVco60WdAwOOoo-g/s1600/hbx0511Braff01lvr-xln.jpg" width="556" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"[Designer Meg] Braff added a bullion fringe to the sofa to bring in more blue.
