We have it in our showroom. Just sold one yesterday. This version is features an Abrash wool field. The "vines" are made of dull silk. It can be made in any size or shape. An all wool version is available too if you want to reduce the cost. It is shown here is a different color - http://hemphillsrugs.com/hand-crafted-rugs/vines

Ballard Designs has a similar chair with the same pull on the back and available in a wide variety of fabric choices. Here is a link. http://www.ballarddesigns.com/gentry-chair/chairs/upholstered-chairs/10666

Here is an ideabook on getting the look by adding your own chair-back pulls: http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/555503/list/A-Little-Jewelry-for-Your-Chair

I think nailheads around the chair perimeter are pretty darn fabulous looking. You deserve fabulous chairs, don't you? LOL! Go for it.

Do you mean to do it around the bottom of seat edge only or too follow the chair lines...similar to picture above? As I said I will be using a cream fabric with texture and a matte finish brownish nail head.

http://www.williamhefner.com decocco - if you go to this website you will see a cream colored dining chair with nailhead that he uses in several of his home dining areas. I found a similar chair at Plantation Design called "Belmont" that I was going to do in the cream fabric with texture and brownish matte nail heads..just can't decide on where to do nail heads. With the fabric texture could too much nail head be over kill? I go for clean lines, and don't want to be over the top. Trying to blend some contemporary with traditional features of house..."transitional" Just can't make the final decision and it is driving me nuts!

Ok, I looked at that site (fab) and then at the chairs here - http://www.plantationdesign.com/products.php?detail=435. I don't think the nailhead trim following the lines of the chair is over the top in any way. It looks lovely and very custom. The nailheads are medium in size and your color sounds fairly neutral. Downtown looks like a quiet texture. I think you should let the trim follow the lines of the chair. If it just makes you uneasy, then just go along the bottom. I'm very transitional and into clean lines, and I'd use the nailhead trim all around the chair. Hope that helps.

what time is dinner? :)
i think for a dining room it's appropriate and classy. in a living room, there would be other considerations. if you really like it? then do it. i think the fabric is great too. i guess you won't be serving any dishes with tomato sauce :) ?

Thank you both for your replies.......I always have the most difficult time making my final decisions and have had some bad experiences with local designers, so I am trying to pull things together myself. Thanks again.

I would like to add.....I will have 8 dining chairs at a rectangular dining table. Does having that many chairs change your opinion on the nail head?

I don't think the nailhead trim is as big a distraction as you're worrying about. It's a lovely detail on the chairs, no matter how many chairs there are. We want to see pictures when they arrive. It's going to be a beautiful dining room!

Thanks for your vote of confidence......!
