I sold a few things to Rachel Ashwell at the last two shows at Brimfield. She, of course, coined the phrase "shabby chic" and wrote several books about it. The concept originally dwelled on elegant French, fancy, and lightly colored (mostly white)country furniture and accents with flaking paint or flaws that added character to the pieces. The look recognized the beauty of the imperfections and patinas. I believe that this concept has degenerated over the years into the "paint any old crap white and the public will buy it" belief that rules the market today. When shopping for this look, take a closer look at the intrinsic beauty and value of the underlying antique article. You will be far happier with your purchase if you do. Good luck hunting for antiques. Now is the part where I plug my websites www.EuropeAntiqueTrip.com and www.antiquesNut.com

What is Shabby Chic Interior Design?

Hello! My name is Denise Robinson and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am here to talk about how to decorate your bedroom. I'm going to take this empty bedroom here and fill it up with a bohemian style look. We are going use lots of plants, some nice bedding might be a little mix matched but we are going to use different colors, lots of lights, candles and just a little different flair here and there. The color scheme might not be for a man but we are going to make it for the woman and hopefully this bedroom will come out looking nice. The bohemian style is kind of gypsy like but it's fun and exciting and somewhat daring.
