Shabby Chic





Shabby chic is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or where new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, opulent, yet cottage-style decor, often with a feminine feel is emphasised to differentiate it from genuine period decor.-wikipedia



Take the plunge this summer and dive into shabby chic.





I believe at least one of the rooms in your home should be shabby chic decor because it has a very refreshing summer appeal.


Convert a small corner of a room into shabby chic....

or a porch...


...or a guestroom.

Be daring and attempt to shabby chic the dining area!

Add this pretty feminine petticoat tablecloth (also comes in white). So pretty!



A few of my own shabby chic pieces (light pink vases and blue planter from Tai Pan Trading).





Fabric slipcovers for your living room.      This petticoat chandlier is cute for a nursery.
