If you want to live modern, life's a stage a new pattern with a old twist... "Metro" is back in a lighter and more contemporary geometric pattern. If that's not your style they make two additional modern styles, Sandstone and Spa Leaf. Spa Leaf offers a touch of nature with a modern twist. These patterns add classic beauty with a modern attitude. If you want your base color to be soft and neutral, you can play off the colors of each style for a clean look. Then try the "natural", a mountain retreat, or just pretend. You can do just that with Croscill's cabin Bedding and Window decor. Alpine and Evergreen offer customers that cozy, cabin look that is starting to become so popular. Each has a style of its own. Add bath accessories to it and you'll think you are at that mountain retreat! Staying home has never been so popular when adding these natural looks to your bedroom. In designing a room, the purpose is to make yourself, your family and your guests feel at home. Creating an agreeable atmosphere eliminates from a person's nature. Sometimes it is an instinctive ability to make life pleasurable, but it can also be an accomplishment. The petits soins at which the French excel appeal to the senses: freshly picked flowers; scented greenhouse plants; in early spring, potgrown tulips the tinkle of ice in a pretty glass are variations on comfort in some of the floral patterns, Tulips, Waterfall, Annette, Chambord, and Love Letters are a good example of the variation on comfort and on what gives pleasure to the eye. They added a new pattern this year called "Princess." Princess is another wonderful remake of a popular pattern made a few years ago. Rose Garden (an beautiful embroidered comforter), Savoir Faire, and Silk Blossoms, also have color and contrast. They marry and embrace the use of flora color that is pleasing to the eye! If floras aren't for you, then show off your exquisite taste by adding streamlined sophistication of Croscill's Jackson, Kalihari, Opulence, Stafford, Renaissance, or Sienna Stripe Comforter Sets.
