Looking for something timeless to add to your room?
You don't have to live in a tropical climate to appreciate the beauty and perennial shape of the PINEAPPLE...and it is everywhere in design lately.
Even if you're not trying to emulate a South Seas interior, the pineapple symbolizes HOSPITALITY. I mean, can you imagine someone seeing a pineapple and thinking, "Oh, this place isn't inviting"?
It's unique appearance and history lends to its status of luxury, warmth and generosity.
The pineapple motif has had it's 'popularity' in the past, but I'm not talking kitschy, "matchy-matchy" curtains and towels. Purposely placed carved pineapple bookends can look stellar in a formal den, or a glass pineapple the center of a table dressed-to-the nines.
If you're lucky enough, you might find pineapple finials on turned wood bedposts -- (I'm still hunting for those!)
We use many sources that supply all kinds of goodness, and I've seen some gorgeous pineapple pieces that would surely showcase your hospitable space!
Off to make some pretty...
