What is Shabby chic?

To summarise what shabby chic is, is to take furniture or furnishings and style them in a way that represents a style from an older time. making items appear dated by the way they are painted or edged to appear they were from a stylish era that was left behind by modern design.

Stylists use this popular theme of interior decorating by arranging mismatched furniture to create a theme that reflects a collective of past styles blended into what is referred to as the shabby chic.
