My very favorite style is SHABBY CHIC ! I love all the pastels placed against the whites. It makes such a feminine statement. Also it reminds me of my Grandma Wakefield, she had the shabby but not so much the chic lol. I love to get the Romantic Homes magazines and browse through them. I would love to be able to meet Rachel Ashwell who is the founder and go inside her home. My home is a mixture of this and French Country which is my second favorite style.
My bedroom is very shabby chic as well as my dining room and when we remodel, I will be doing my kitchen the same way with a white farmhouse style sink, white cabinets with glass doors and absolutely NO FRUIT in my kitchen lol. (right now I have fruit) I have these robin egg blue canisters that I purchased at Georgeanne's Craft Mall and they have black writing on them that say Coffee, Tea, etc. and I will be using them and then I will be adding all my pink floral, flea market find, plates in the glass doors and I have a lot of white pottery and I want to keep fresh pink roses and peonies when I can find them in one of the pottery pitchers. I also want a shabby chic apron :) So this is the plan, we just have to make it happen.
Here is a picture of a farmhouse style sink. I love it! We are going to break up all the ceramic tile in the kitchen and add hard wood flooring :)
My kitchen will match my dining room and will be opened up to be one big area.
We have a white little fence in the backyard dividing our yard and pool. One day I want to get the shabby chic look back there too .
I think I need to go shopping!
