Pembroke Bedding and Window Treatments by C&F

We love the linens from April Cornell! Her use of lively color and nature-based design can be found in both her signature linen collection as well as in our C&F quilted collection.  Ms. Cornell designs with women’s tastes in mind and she has definitely pleased us!

Brighten up your life with something from our vast collection of lighting.  Let table lamps, floor lamps and chandeliers become part of your accessory decor by adding texture, height and color.  You will find ceramic and metals as well as Quiozel stained glass and beautiful imports.

Artwork – think beyond the single piece and move on with more interesting groupings of four or more.  Mix and match mirrors, pictures and metal wall pieces for a fresh new look.  We have new hand-selected imports arriving in March!
