Tuf(ting) it out
It feels like everywhere I look, I'm seeing a lot of tufted furniture - from the traditional sofas, to upholstered headboards (another big current trend) to Brocade Home products to bathroom stall doors. It's such a traditional look and can span the gamut from opulent and sexy to tailored and (literally) buttoned up. Maybe that's why we like it - a little something for all tastes. Here are a few I've seen recently.

Custom made pillow by me!
(and seen all over the design blogosphere!)
Is tufting for you?

I just discovered your blog and I am really enjoying it! I laughed when I saw the Chester Collection because to this day my Mom call a sofa a 'Chesterfield'. What's the history behind that?
You've showcased a great collection of tufted furniture!
Love the Petrie Sofa from Target. An hommage to Rob and Laura Petrie and their 1962 living room?
LPE - welcome! I did some checking around and here is a link to one "sort of" description of the term chesterfield:

Mmm. I'm not a fan of tufted furniture. Too much debris gets caught in those little indents, and after a while the furniture simply looks dirty. But your examples are splendid, and I am sure those pieces of furniture will find a home somewhere. Just not in my house.
