 by: Tina Bauer

Is Shabby Chic Cottage Style your style? Let's take a look. If you can answer yes to at least 4 of these questions than it is indeed.

1. Is your color palette a combination of whites and creams mixed with soft pastels?

2. Does your heart melt at the site of vintage inspired floral fabrics?

3. Do you enjoy going to flea markets to find one of a kind vintage treasures?

4. Flowers, primarily roses, can be found in your home almost everywhere you look, including your artwork?

5. Do you consider vintage or vintage inspired chandeliers romantic?

6. Do you enjoy making your home a comfortable place where all feel welcome?

Shabby Chic Cottage Style is a distinct style. It allows you to mix old vintage treasures, perhaps family heirlooms, with newly found treasures. Washable slipcovered furniture allows for stress free comfort.

Our motto is, "You can never have enough pillows." Creating an inviting atmosphere is a snap by decorating with an abundance of floral pillows. Place several of them on your sofa, window bench, and/or wood chairs to soften them.

We believe that the finishing touch for any Shabby Chic Cottage Style home is in the lighting. A great find would be a vintage chandelier dripping with prisms (crystals). Paint it white and get a fresh new look that dazzles any room. Decorate with the things you love.
