Time for this weeks installment of budget decorating ... We’ll call this one .. The REAL Shabby Chic!
Seems like every time I turn around, there is a shabby chic this or a shabby chic that. People buy new furniture and “shabby chic” it. They buy old furniture, scrape it up a bit more, paint over the scrape ups and turn it into a nice clean shabby chic. Don’t get me wrong --- I love it too. More and more however, I find myself falling in love with the originals.
These are the guys that have years of real paint, scratched and scraped to reveal several layers, eras and stages of development. The guys that might have one foot just a quarter of an inch shorter than the rest. The real men of the furniture world who might have a spot of wood glue here and there to repair an old battle wound. The fellows who lost a knob, but acquired an equally old new one.
These are the pieces I consider pioneers in the world of Shabby Chic! One of the joys in budget decorating is being able to take these finds, put them together with other similar pieces and create a very special space.
What brought this all to mind is this little set of over-loved pieces I was able to introduce to each other in hopes they could hit it off and ride into the sunset together.
You can choose the furniture from hudsonfurniture.com.au at an affordable price which is offering on various type of furniture just like Hand made, high quality and sustainable bedroom suites, furniture, mahogany bedroom furniture etc.
