Shabby chic is one of my all time favorite decorating styles combining romance with age, elegance and beauty. When you envision a shabby chic room think of luxurious accents and timeless well-used furnishings mixed together to create the perfect country cottage look full of romance and charm. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, well that’s a very familiar statement in the world of shabby chic decorating, as shabby chic is known for creating beauty by bringing worn out furnishings and thrift store finds back to life. To create a Shabby Chic look you should incorporate various textures and shades of white, well used or distressed furniture, vintage treasures, floral, paisley and striped fabrics, rod iron, pastel colors, crystals, lace, ruffles and floral arrangements.
If you are looking to achieve a shabby chic look through DIY’s check out my DIY Distressed Pictures frame Tutorial. Also look for more shabby chic tutorials to come as I continue my Shabby Chic Foyer Makeover.
Here are some of my favorite Shabby Chic Inspirations. I hope you enjoy!

Lov so much this style im always creating different types of furniture using the distressing techique thanks for the tutorials x
HI Georgina, thank you for your comment!! I know, I love it too, my husband can’t stand how much I love it b/c I am an avid “distresser” lol. I am always turning furniture, shelves, picture frames, etc (both old and new) from their original state to shabby chic and it drives him bonkers. 🙂 I shared several distressing techniques, so hopefully you were able to see them all 🙂 Thanks again!

Jessica, I just love Shabby Chic and the comfortable feel it brings on! However, hubby has been reluctant to make the full on change! Working on it though! Great inspiration pics and fun table tutorial!
