I like to browse thru many blogs to find great ideas, inspiration, & crafty ideas. I just found a great blog (http://christys-thriftydecorating.blogspot.com/2008/03/shabby-chic-decorating.html) that is precisely the look I'm going to for, for my space.
To define shabby chic to some of my friends is quite hard, but I think her defination is perfect- "So what is Shabby Chic anyway? Think casual, pastel colors, lot’s of white, vintage items, wrought iron, distressed furniture, colorful prints and worn out furniture. Originally created by Rachel Ashwell back in the 80’s, Shabby Chic has become a whole theme by itself. People love it and you now commonly see it in all the decorating magazines and shows. Rachel Ashwell came up with this design theme after spending countless hours at garage sales and thrift stores looking for furniture with clean lines."
And that is what I plan on doing; white furniture (bookcase), distressing (nightstand), wrought iron (bed frame), & colorful prints (custom art).
Anyway, more blogs that I love to come, I still have to figure out how to post links on my page of all the things I love, but in time I suppose.
