After looking thru the images I posted (blog below), I was inspired to share with you some key pieces that can make your nook cozier and more shabby chic.
Shabby Chic is a romantic British Countryside kinda style. Soft, whimsical and casual. Shabby furniture should have the look of aged wood/metal. Its a design style perfect for frugal person too. If you enjoy DIY projects this will be a dream for you. Recycle! Take your existing mirrors and random furniture pieces, coat them with primer and many coats of matte white paint and distress them.
When buying pieces and putting your room together keep in mind..... Plush long flowy curtains, lots of natural sunlight with flickers of candlelight and many layers of plush fabrics on your bed. Clear glass lamps, dresser knobs in beautiful ceramic or clear glass. Try not to get carried away with comfort and make it sloppy, if you have alot of random furniture keep your linens more formal. If you have more beautiful/matchy furniture soften the room with random beddings & pillows. Lastly, buy a clear vase and keep it full of peonies, hydrangeas, or whatever flowers you love.
Start with these pieces and let me know how much more romantic and chic your room becomes...xo
