Rustic linen looks better and better when washed and crumpled don't you think? We have pure white sofas and a muddy pawed cat - throws in cocoa brown (i.e. mud colour!) are invaluable and the cotton slip covers on the sofas are machine washable, non-iron-delicious-when-crumpled too (thank you Ikea)! As for the baubles on branches - make them tall branches and pop baubles at the top! Where there's design there's a way!!!
