I love Shabby Chic, let me look now if I can find a definition for shabby shabby chic..Description

Shabby chic items are often heavily painted with many layers showing through obviously worn areas. The style is imitated in faux painting using glaze or by painting then rubbing and sanding away the top coat to show the wood or base coats. Fabrics tend to be cottons and linens, with linen being particularly popular, inspired by old French linens. Whites and worn or bleached out pastels are favorite colours. Fabric is often stained with tea to give it the look of old fabric. Bleached and faded are terms often applied to the style.
The essence of shabby chic style is vintage and antique furniture painted white (or another soft pastel color) and distressed at the corners by sanding.
Popular decor items are pillows made of vintage barkcloth fabric, vintage linens, chenille bedspreads, vintage chandeliers, and anything with roses on it. It is a soft, relaxed feminine romantic way of decorating that looks comfortable and inviting. Also called cottage style.YES ! Thats it..I love it ! I love pink roses, lacy doilies, pink cushions, old cabinets, romantic tea cups on an old white painted table. I would love to have a small cottage to decorate in the shabby chic style. I like a place that is both romantic and comfortable. Lots of pink, soft colors, mint green, cabbage roses and old painting on the wall. A soft bed with iron bed posts these are all whispering Shabby Chic. Below you will find some resources for Shabby Chic decor..
