I like the nailhead trim look, I do.  I just haven’t ever given it a try myself.  Because I’m afraid my OCDness wouldn’t be able to handle it if I couldn’t. get. every. single. nail. to. line. up. perfectly.  I can foresee it ending badly, with me pulling out clumps of hair and rocking back and forth in the corner, weeping softly.

But oh.  Oh my loveness, look at this.  I’ve never considered a nailhead pattern before!  So much more room for “creative flair” (and failure) than a straight line!  From Joie Vivre from Kicsi Haz.  Don’t you love it?!

Does this table bring back some haunting 80’s memories for you?  It reminds me of my old childhood chum Anaya, whose mom was ALL ABOUT the 80’s decor.  Lot’s of black lacquer and neon lamps and “art” like this:

I thought she was like, the coolest thing since Wonderbread.  She also let us watch Pretty Woman at Anaya’s birthday party, which now that I think about it, was a strange choice for a bunch of 10-year-old girls. Julia Roberts DID made for such a likeable hooker though, didn’t she?

Anyway, that’s where this old console table belonged, firmly in the 80’s.  But Jessica from Stellar Junk brought it back to life with a charming country feel.  Hmm, from washed out 80’s star to plucky country girl?  I think I just cooked up a new Julia Roberts movie!
