Not too shabby

I thing that Shabby chic is the most wonderful design concept – the idea that the appearance of age (of furniture) makes them considered to be more valuable.. I only wish we could implement this concept’s popularity to the world of beauty, it could have saved this planet a lot of botox..

This great ideabook in houzz presents different suggestions for this style, and it was very difficult to decide which one of them I will recollect for you. I chose two of my favorite looks. Let me know if you would like me to recollect any other rooms there.

I just love Black & White rooms. Their designs plays with patterns, and just a dash of color (like plants of flowers) will balance it. This room has a great Black&White look:

This is your shopping list:

Rug, ottoman, table lamp, armchair, coffee table, sofa, box,  bowl, chair, side table,

There is also another cute ottoman, that wasn’t in the original design but I thought you might like with this look:
