Color Your World With Butterflies

Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life.  And everyone deserves a little sunshine.       - Jeffrey Glassberg

Thinking about a fresh approach to say your guest room or Florida Room? Consider the butterfly! If your dull & dreary room is the caterpillar….. imagine it evolving into a beautiful, enchanting butterfly! A mirage of colors and activity that spice up your space and energize your soul & spirit. Start with our Butterfly Hooked Area Rug in soft buttery cream with highlights of blues, orange, yellows & greens with black accents.

Paint your walls a pretty pale yellow to open up the space & compliment the rug. We recommend Sherwin Williams Butter Up #SW6681 in a satin eggshell finish. For more choices visit Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer Site.

Drop in our Black Laquer Glass Top End Table & top it off with our hand painted Butterfly Table Lamp; an aged tole canister finished with a painted paper shade. The warm light will add a calming serenity your pretty new room.
