I received a text from a friend today asking if I could help pick out a Shabby Chic green for a cabinet. I do a lot of paint selections for friends and clients and I love it! Shabby Chic is not my forte and I had to do some research. Personally, I am drawn to cleaner lines, wood grain, and COLOR. All which are the opposite of Shabby Chic, which consists of painted out distressed furniture, light color tones, flowers, ruffles, and a worn look.
When it comes to my own personal design aesthetic, I like mixing it up! A little bit of everything to keep me interested in my decor. A little modern, a little mid-century, a little antique, and (lo and behold) a little Shabby Chic!

I learned a little bit more about my design style today. As for the green color...I am still stumped. :o)
You have asked me before who my favorite style is ... yours! I l-0-V-e your home. Keep posting - we all have so much to learn from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina!!
ReplyDeleteHey Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that Rod and I are moving into a new apartment next month, and I am already planning ways that we can implement some of your awesome ideas into our new little space :) I just LOVED your "Moxy" (Moxie?) post, and I'm trying to work up the courage to paint a wardrobe that we have with some fun, bold color.
Thanks for sharing your inspiration! If you lived in Kalamazoo, I would definitely recruit you for your expertise.
Keep posting!
