The Butterfly Effect

Pretty florals and bright botanicals have long been popular motifs in home decoration. This season brings us a fluttering of butterflies which seem to be appearing on everything from embroidered pillows to hand-painted tumblers. Unique butterfly accents can be a chic way to dress up your summer tabletop, especially with all of those bridal and baby showers coming up.
