tropical hit list

lanai quilt * braid pillow * door mat * palm tieback

the spring edition of the pottery barn catalog recently arrived in the mailbox and i couldn't resist rounding up all the juicy accessories made for island living. page after page is filled with pottery barn's take on tropical accents from a nifty braid pattern evocative of lauhala basket weaving to abstract palm leaf prints and hawaiian quilt knockoffs (albeit in a more contemporary palette).

koi outdoor pillow * bistro table * beach towel

koi fish make an appearance on everything from beach towels to outdoor rugs, and while the pattern is said to be inspired by chinese paper cutouts they bear a striking resemblance to the earlier designs of thomas paul. nevertheless, fab finds if it's time to refresh your space for summertime!
