Hasn’t it been a bumper month! The isle has been jumping, great for all business categories - retail, hotels, restaurants, bars the lot! Bali is happy, with a big smile on its face, it’s given us faith that people love Bali, and we all know it’s the best place to be in the world! I heard recently that Bali is now considered the St Tropez of the East, well now, let’s ponder on that?! But certainly the shopping is world class with the most divine frippery of house linen that has ‘hit’ the town running!
La Casa Bianca – pure, divine, stunning!
So for anyone that is in need or just loves good quality product for beds & tables, here it is, served up from a new modern all-white shop that sets the scene - gentile, refined & tres chic! The shop interior has been well designed from the all glass shelving, crème wooden floors, dark coconut wooden tables (perfect to showcase product) & a stunning selection of hanging & table lamps featuring exquisite shades!
Now the merchandise, what can I say, but just think of grandmothers embroidered tablecloths & napkins, sheets & pillow slips from ‘way back when’.
All product is imported quality cotton, some with organdy trim, 99% has embroiderery which comes in different patterns. If you love good bedlinen & tableware too, you will love all in the shop & like me you will spend ages trying to work out which piece(s) you will decide upon.
All fitted & top sheets come in double, queen & king & you receive with your purchase two generous sized pillow slips. There are also some very lovely patterned cotton bedcovers in both crème & white – for your bed or use as a ‘throw’ over a chair or yourself!
For the classic tres elegant amongst you, you can’t help but fall in love with the luxurious satin & cotton duvets in two color ways, caramel & ecru or vice versa, with names like, Royal & Chelsea. There are also bolsters & cushions in two sizes to complete your new bedroom look. If you buy a duvet you will receive two cushion covers & the same, if you buy a boucle bedcover.
Throw a fresh organdy & cotton tablecloth over that table of yours, providing an instant fashion statement. Rectangle, square & round plain cottons with embroidery or a mix with organdy, napkins to match of course and as an alternative there are stylish placemats too.
Tables adorned in the ‘all white look’ or a mix of white & crème has always been popular, it typifies parts of the idyllic Mediterranean, sultry North African, spicy Asian & exotic Central American house looks (just take a look at all those coffee table books for inspiration!) You can team accessories like crystal, candles & silver on your table (a la, Out of Africa) Moroccan baby lamps & more candles, to splashes of bright color (a la, Mexico) it’s creating ‘your’ style of setting that matters. Beds swayed in white is ever so sensual, can also be whimsical - Arabian nights, Greek whitewashed houses, Indochine French with a Hanoi touch, to Brazilian jungles, white beaches with shacks & white ‘throws’ over the bed – all this makes you want to travel, but you can do all of this here (complete with your new house linen) in our Bali homeland!!! So, number one activity on reading this piece is getting yourself to La Casa Bianca to ‘find your look.’ La Casa Bianca, Kunti Arcade, No 8, Seminyak, T: 8054 008
