Tabletop Portfolio: Italian Classics
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 5/1/2005
Tabletop designs give a nod this season to rustic Italianate influences, chockablock with sweet and charming detailing. Soft, mellowed looks offer an easy grace in sync with the leisurely lifestyle of the countryside. Look for majolica, Florentine motifs and references to nature to stand out in simplicity, brimming with lush color.
