CHAPTER 2  •  Island Shades

Why did you name Chapter 2 Island Shades?

Chapter 2 Island Shades brings the colors associated with islands of Hawaii and the Caribbean into your home. The blue and green hues of the sea, the lush greens of the mountains, the tans and whites of the sand all beckon to these paradises on earth. The images of palm trees, plumerias, and waves on the relief decos are the perfect finishing touch to this tropical theme.
