And already I am sooooo dying to go to ALL BROWN stuff! LOL I mean really, all this stuff is pretty much white, pink and khaki! Not that it's bad! I looove Shabby Chic furniture! To the max! LOL But as fall hits, I am just ready to get all cozy and warm in an orange and brown house! LOL Of course sipping one of these .
SOooooo I was thinking, "does dark stuff really blend well with shabby chic"? Well you tell me! LOL I surely think so! Here's a few choice pieces I scoped out for, stuff I'd buy pretty darn quickly! Just have to make room for it! LOL But just soooo loving these warm touches of "chic" that would bring such a rich charm to our home and for certain give DH that masculine feel! Well the dark colors! LOL
And I think I have to have these dishes! LOL You can find them here at ZGALLERIE. That store is so much fun to shop in! Soooo rustic, charmy, italian
farmhouse feel! I loooooove that! I am all about "beat up" stuff! Especially that hand painted leather divider! Just coool!!!!!!!
Oh and the blog look....well I am no HTML girl, so the polka dots were hard for me to configure! :) So what I am trying hard to do, especially since we moved, is to "clear out" the mess in my life! LOL Well, the clutter! Gosh we really "downsized" the "shabby chic" stuff we had before we moved! I can't tell you how freeing that was! Some huge stuff went into the Shabby Chic store, some to the huge flea market (had a friend take it for me) and some stuff, well, was given away to new happy Shabby Chic owners! LOL Seriously, I am looooving the "clean" look and trust me, it's still SHABBY CHIC! Just less! More sophisticated and less "OMG her room looks like a flea market booth"! LOL No really, feels so good to have much less but appreciate it more!
And the kids are enjoying more space everywhere! So the blog, the store and the barn are getting nice clean makeovers! Simple, easy, refreshing......love it!!!!! Okay have some groooovy weekend fun!!!!!
SMJ
Can I have that entryway transfered into my house somewhere, please? Never mind the fact that we have a ranch! LOL! Love those plates too!
How are ya???
Have a great day, you Shabby Miss! :)

Ohhh Definitely! I have always thought that beautiful dark wood furniture looks GORGEOUS with Shabby Chic...hand in hand...like Silk Fabrics and Paint Chipped Wood!
Do you feel like walking into your home/shabby barn now is like a breath of fresh air..and so much more stress free?
Good goin' girlie!

Grins.. next time you are cleaning up.. email me.. I will give a grateful postal address ;)
Love these colours. It might be cheaper to bring in seasonal colours in textiles?

OOOO...What beautiful finds!! I LOVE Fall, it's my favorite season of the year - doesn't it just make you feel so warm and cozy to be surrounded by the rich earth tones? You can definitely mix that feel in with shabby chic, since shabby chic is all about comfy and cozy too! Hey - did you ever get that leather sofa? That will fit right in with these!

Oh, how devine! I love the mixture of chocolate wood and leather mixed with total shabby chic. The mixture is 2 die 4! Have you been up with "The Junk Gypsy's" go to www.gypsyville.com and omgosh these girls are amazing and my new insiration. They mix southern fried cowgirl charm with shabby roses and jewels. I love this new shabby gypsy style and these dark wood pieces would so work! Let me know what you think...
