Online Trim Source

I find that sourcing home dec trim online is a bit tougher than finding fabric. Often the selection is way too much and includes craft trim that one wouldn't use on curtains or pillows. So I was happy to see the lovely selection offered online by Richmond(woot!)-based ufabstore.com.

Trim is your best friend when it comes to adding the final touch to a piece that sets it off...pillows, curtains, upholstery (think skirted pieces)...it all looks better when you add a sharp-looking accent trim. Some of my favorites from U-Fab:

If you like Greek key or lattice trims, this is a great place to look. I love that swirly number up there - would look fantastic trimming ecru curtains.

Greek Key Trim Source

My pelmet box post prompted a couple of questions about the source of the Greek key trim that I used. For those of you that didn't catch the source that I left in the comments, I thought I would devote a post to this amazing trim. Doesn't everything look better with a little Greek key? Or is that just me?

For any of you crafty decorators, it's no surprise that my trim came from the ribbon/trim/notions powerhouse M&J Trimming. Camila over at High-Heeled Foot in the Door recently posted some pix from the NYC brick & mortar store here - they show my concept of what heaven would be.

For those non-NYCers, they have a really great online store, where I found my trim for the pelmet box...and it comes in 16 amazing colors! Here are a few:

This trim is a gorgeous jacquard with a beautiful weight to it - perfect for home dec jobs. It's wonderful quality, so it's not inexpensive - $11.98 a yard. But, it can add a huge effect to otherwise inexpensive fabric. Click here to purchase.

My other go-to source online for Greek key trim is Lewis and Sharon Textile Co. Their home base is in Atlanta (I think) but again, they have a really great website - not only for trim, but also for boatloads of a-m-a-z-i-n-g fabric - I spend LOTS of time on this website.

Here are some colorways of their "Athena Tape":

This trim is also $12/yard and available in nine colors. Click here to purchase (enter "Athena" in search box).

Does anyone have other Greek key trim resources to share? I'm always on the lookout!
