My Grosgrain Go to

I love the simple touch that a band of grosgrain ribbon can add to a curtain panel or pillow.

It's details like these that you really see in rooms that are designed vs. bought.

I'm a sucker for beautiful trim, but designer trims can often be as expensive as

designer fabric if they are purchased through the big mills so one way I cut costs

is by purchasing grosgrain trims by the roll through apparel manufacturers.

The price is significantly lower and you still get a beautiful quality product that gives you a custom look.

One of my favorite go to brands for this is Petersham Ribbons. Their Rayon grosgrain so beautiful. The texture is so much better than the cheap stuff you would buy at a craft or sewing store and it actually looks and feels like silk grosgrain, so it totally reads designer.

Their color card alone is stunning.

You can buy Petersham products online through Britex fabrics.

They have multiple widths so you can find just what you are looking for.

And then you can decide how to use it...

Ribbon is just one of the many things that I have hoarding issues with. I 'm serious.
