Embossing: White on White

Minimalism meets maximalism. Most closely associated with paper, embossing can apply to other materials as well: tile, metal, and glass for example. We love the look of white-on-white embossed materials in the home, since they balance sometimes-elaborate patterns with a simple background. Click below for a few of our favorites...

Love it. I've bought stuff from Pistachio Press before & they're great.

How timely...I just finished an all over white on white treatment in my livingroom. A "wallpaper" stencil in gloss lacquer over the eggshell base coat. Very subtle.
