The only
limitations in home decor is our own lack of imagination, with shabby vervain
we can allow our imaginations to be free from limitations. Anything worth while
involves some challenges and to make shabby chic furniture part of your chic
decor scheme, you'll need to include these following elements: use items that
have been heavily painted through the years, with many areas showing the under
coats of previous paints. One way to obtain this trend is to use imitation, to
accomplish this faux painting is used with glaze, or by painting and then
making the wood or base coats show by rubbing and sanding away the top coats of
paint.
Create your own Elena
Vervain Necklace in fabrics. What you think about will come
about; remember these simple principles for success: fabrics most used tend to
be cottons or linens, linens are the most popular choice being influenced by
old French linens. The trend is to use whites, bleached, and worn out pastels;
one idea is to stain fabrics using tea to give them the look of being aged. To
achieve success with this style, keep emphases on bleached and faded items.
The art of today's
vintage
restore style is to use a piece of furniture of particular interest
or antique. Ideally with the original aged paint or painted white pieces, at
the corners rub or sand away the top coat of paint making the wood or base
paint show. Change your thoughts of home decorating, and decorate with
excitement using shabby chic ideas such as pillows made of barkcloth fabric,
vintage linens, chenille bedspreads, vintage chandeliers, any items with roses
on it. This style is thought to be soft, relaxed and feminine; it is a romantic
way of decorating that feels comfortable and inviting. This type of decor is
called the cottage style as well.
Shabby Chic design is a beautiful expression of what we think and feel about pieces
of decor. Along with adding the richness of taste and freedom this style can be
affordable, while adding a touch of days gone by. The true beauty is revealed
in muted green, pastel pink and faded gray, in a world where there was no place
for old or used furniture, worn rugs, vintage bedspreads, or many other decor
items with peeling paint, somehow the world has adapted to their beauty.
Love for decor is what makes this style so interesting, some ideas: To express
the inexpressible start in your attic or basement (or your mother or
grandfather's). The idea is to choose usable discarded or unused pieces. This
style will make a once undesirable piece of furniture a stylish piece of shabby
vintage. Look for agreeable surprises at flea markets and yard sales (use a
Flea Market Guide to locate one near you). By using your imagination transform
an unsightly piece into modern stylish decor with a fresh coat of white, green,
or pink paint. With belief in the imagination we can capture beauty, some ideas
include: a painted chair placed into an empty corner with a vase of flowers on
the seat, free the beauty of your imagination by using an old trunk as a coffee
table. The imagination rules use quilts as sofa throws (instead of a couch
slipcover), and large baskets to hold everything from A-Z. Let your ingenuity
surprise you. Give your imagination wings; refurbish an antique chandelier and
hang old costume jewelry necklaces in a young girl's room. This idea will
convert a room in your home into a room in a castle. Remove the boundaries of
your imagination, use extra pillows made of barkcloth fabric on your couch,
place a quilt or blanket over a chair (instead of a chair slipcover). Mix
patterns, textures, and colors as a great rich mixture, forget the old rule of
a room should have no more than three colors and patterns. The idea is to
create a mixture of things you love, as if to say we are the creatures of
situations and circumstances, the mind appreciates the impressions of the
senses and the freedom of imagination.
