Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on Mar 09, 2012Here is the wikipedia definition of Shabby chic, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shabby_chic "Shabby chic is a form of interior design where furniture and furnishings are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear and tear or where new items are distressed to achieve the appearance of an antique. At the same time, a soft, opulent, yet cottage-style decor, often with a feminine feel is emphasised.." It also clarifies the color palate, ". Whites and worn or bleached out pastels are favorite colours. ...". Now that is the text book definition, it would be tricky, but you can mix things around, I feel that it would take a trained eye to accomplish this.However, to stay "true " to the style, light colored or pastel walls.I hope this helps.Helpful Reply
