Needlepoint Is Always the Answer

Susan's dining room chairs have been rubbing against the wall.  Being a creative genius, she decided against chair rails in favor of a long strip of needlepoint done in perle cotton.  Think a belt for your wall!

Now her walls won't get scuffed and she has something totally unique.  Great idea, Susan.

Personally, I think you should decorate your house with whatever makes you happy.  Who cares if you are trendy or not?

Anna Talks Decorating with Needlepoint

The British needlepoint designer and teacher Anna Pearson has written a long, fun article about decorating your home with needlepoint. It's full of good ideas to help you figure out what will work for your own abode.  Anna uses her own designs as examples but the principles she lays out will work for any designer's work — or even your own original creations.
