Mounted Coral and New Stuff at Target

I like design elements that are modern-y and simple, but I like accents that are a little organic and soft too. In my old apartment, I had two big bookcases that flanked my TV, and on them I kept books (naw, really?), DVDs, and a bunch of accent pieces. I've been wanting a piece of white coral to put on these bookcases but didn't find a good one while I still lived by myself. Once I move out again (please, for the love of GOD let it be soon), I plan to start the search again! Have you guys seen the new home decor stuff at Target? I literally gasped when I saw one thing in particular, but I'm getting ahead of myself. In one of their bathroom collections, they have reddish-orange coral and light robin's egg blue as their main colors. You know I was all over that stuff! I had high hopes they'd have white coral, but all they had was the reddish-orange.

This picture gives an idea of what I'm looking for...I wouldn't be sad if it was a bit more "twiggy" and a little less thick.

This is the thing that made me gasp! I guess this also follows along with my modern-and-simple-yet-organic thought process. This picture doesn't do the color justice...it's more like my favorite dusty robin's egg blue.
