Coral Branch...

noreply@blogger.com (Mya) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 19:02:00 +0000

Corals are not only exquisite, exotic and glamorous, they are the nutrients of Sea and very substantial to our Marine life.I do not recommend a real (dead) coral in home decor as its just not environmentally friendly.

via

But you can bring a bit of nature into your home with these Porcelain and resin Coral beauties!!Williams-Sonoma has a beautiful range of porcelain coral branches which costs $128 each.

via

Or you can buy a set of three from Organize.com for $299.

But if you are in mood of DIY, You can just buy a cake stand or glass block from local goodwill and stick this coral ($16.95) on top to make your own coral branch.
