Nouveau Classic
Elegant and enchanting
-- Home Accents Today, 7/1/2008
Elegant and enchanting, this season's traditional designs offer a breath of fresh air. The light and uplifting mélange gives a nod to spot-on trends like birds, Hollywood Regency and chinoiserie with a soupçon of French inspiration. A crisp, classical palette balances ornate motifs with a refreshing whisper of easy elegance. — Tracy Bulla
