Butterfly art wings its way into home decor

Designers have brought the ethereal butterfly indoors, using it as a motif to brighten homes. The creatures are decoupaged onto coffee tables and lampshades, laser-printed on fabrics, painted and etched on china and carafes. Some are fashioned into mobiles and hanging balls. Here's a photo gallery of a few standouts.
