Sue, this might be my favorite post of yours yet, (besides the random Chanel items, that always make me smile)! You "nailed" it on this one... sorry, pun intended... couldn't resist. xo

Gorgeous inspiration, I just adore nailhead trim! The first picture is so chic, love the nailhead trimmed walls. And the atmosphere in the last bedroom is to die for!

Diana Mieczan said...

That is so inspiring:) Love the look of those kitchen chairs with it:)

I'm all over the nailheads- I have 4 pieces of furniture in my living room alone with nailhead detail- can't get enough!! That first picture is amazing:)

pk @ Room Remix said...

I haven't seen the images before with the nailheads on the walls and cabinets and I LOVE them! I love how unique they are! Thanks for sharing the inspiration.

shari @ little blue deer said...

Love it (as I sit on my nailhead trim sofa, lol!). I'd really like to try to learn to do it myself! XX!

Tonia of Chic Modern Vintage said...

I love nailheads. I seem to use them each time I get upholstery done.

David Toms said...

The nailhead looks cool, howver I think even more cooler are those animal skulls in the first picture. They really add a bit of character to the room!

Erika @ ~TiptoeButterfly~ said...

i love it!

Renee Finberg said...

i agree completely.
nail heads can take something from
simple to smashing in no time.

it is a strange thing to me.....
people either love them or hate them.
it is weird.

Kare said...

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

Oh Sue, I agree! I love nail-head trim and must figure out a way to do this myself somewhere!

Kelly @ JAX does design said...

I love, love, LOVE nailhead trim! It adds so much character to a piece of furniture, and looks great on walls too :-) I'm really liking it on the kitchen cabinetry in the third-to-last picture. Awesome look!

Love this nail-head trim look! The chair sitting right here next to my desk has nail-head trim. Cathy

quintessence said...

Have always loved nailhead trim - have it on many of my chairs - really is just that final finishing touch! I've always wanted to pad my swinging kitchen door and finish with nailhead trim!

Always a classic. Can't go wrong with nailheads! Great round-up of inspiration photos!

Alcira Molina-Ali said...

Magnifique...that Bilhuber study up top tops my library love list.
BTW, stop leaving us in the lurch -- when are you going to feature more delish-is shots of the Zhush manse? The living room teaser was too much to handle...Nero needs more.
Cheers, Alcira

Melanie said...

Totally agree, loving nailhead trip right now! I just got my Serena and Lily catalog in the mail, and I love their fabric headboards with the nailhead trim. It adds a little "edge" to their soft fabrics.

Adrienne said...

This is such a great idea. I especially like the idea of putting them on walls. Very unexpected.

Kwana said...

Loving the paisley headboard.

Dobbygirl said...

Is that a glossy ceiling I spy in the first picture *swoon*. I'm dying over the second to last picture, curved room, lots of windows - I want to move in now!

alison (semi-fab lane) said...

i can't get enough of it either! i love all of the images of the nailheads used as a wall treatment...love!

Stacey said...

These are gorgeous! Great inspiration too!

The Buzz said...

You nailed it with this one, Sue! Don't know if I would do the walls but the blue bar chairs in the kitchen are fabulous!

Slim Paley said...

Oh wow- these all look so good, particularly the first and third photos. Unfortunately, my only experience with doing nailhead trim was on a custom made leather bathroom cabinet that somehow ended up looking more like a bad Denny's banquette than the Ralph Lauren-y "vintage" piece I was anticipating. I have never plucked up the enthusiasm to try it again...yet!

natural selection said...

I have some sun bleached antlers in my Barn now I know what to do with them!

Cheers!

Kat said...

What a great look! Love them on the walls.

Gorgeous, it's so unexpected on the walls !

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Great inspiration. I really love images 5-7!!!

Splendid Willow said...

What great images you are showing us today, Sue! All new to me. And so inspirational. I have one yellow settee with nail heads. And I love it! But now I am thinking that a guest bed might need some. Really love that second image you are showing. The entire room.

Happy day to you, friend.

casey at loft and cottage said...

wow, you are SOOO right! i adore nailheads, and love that detail shot of the nailhead trim running like molding around that bar/cabinet/built-in. i've been saving nailhead images for a while and some of these will definitely go in that file!

Katie said...

Absolutely one of my favorite trends!

Marie said...

A simple way to decorate but gives such impact. Loving it!:D

Be still my heart on that first image! Velvet hammer perhaps? xoxo E

Acanthus and Acorn said...

I have a ton of saved images of nailhead trim, but many of these are new to me such as the first image!

Nailheads and antler's...deliciously cruel!!! We have plenty At the A&A house, but more would be soooo good!

Café Bellini said...

There are some amazing images here! I'll pass on the antlers, though...

Charlotta Ward said...

Yes nails are fabulous! A little 'Medieval' a little 'Rock'n'Roll'.. Love all your images - fabulous inspiration. Now if you excuse me, I am off to look for my hammer..!!

Yay!!! LOve love love! I especially love nailhead trim on headboards, how yummy. And I LOVE the idea of a pattern on the walls! The first time I ever saw this was a couple of weeks ago in the Kips Bay showhome photos online. What a creative idea.
