Beautifully Boring

Beautifully Boring

[Confession]
We have a confession. We can be a little close-minded. And maybe controlling. The reason for this sudden wave of self-awareness? We've done something we said we'd never (ever) do.

But first, let's rewind. We're all about colour. Beautiful linens that bring your table to life. So we didn't really consider white. It just felt wrong. We feel the same way about round tablecloths, which is a whole other newsletter in itself! On this point, we remain steadfast. But on the former, we've launched a
"beautifully boring" white tablecloth. And honestly, we couldn't be happier to admit how very wrong we've been.

Turns out, a blank canvas allows for a certain kind of freedom. It's a way to bring your own sense of colour and character to a setting. Or, as you'll see from the gorgeous images below, for those times when you want something simple and utterly charming 
this beauty may just be exactly what you need. 

Like we said, man were we wrong. 


Love,

S&B

xx
