Everyday Chic and Shabby Chic Bedroom Style
I finally got out my second issue of our "Everyday Chic" ezine. Sorry for the delay but you won't be disappointed and the bonus is you will have the next issue this month. Two issues in one month...whoohoo! This issue included Master Bedroom Shabby Chic, tips on using mirrors in your home and a great pound cake recipe from Marie at Savon Marie. So if you aren't on our subscriber list sign up now and let me know you would like me to forward a copy of our last issue along with the links to our archived issue. (Forgive the typo, poundcake should have been pound cake)
Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

Design Star goes Shabby Chic
For all you HGTV watchers out there, next week Design Star is going Shabby Chic. Their assignment is to do a suite for country singer Sarah Evans. She loves shabby chic so I will be watching with my usual critiques and will especially be interested in the judges take on shabby chic. I don't think any of them are fans of the style. So tune in Sunday, July 6th @ 9:00 pm ... you might see an idea you can use!
Have a fabulous Monday!

Shabby Chic Style
I have just taken a break from finishing up this months issue of "Everyday Chic" and I wanted to let you know that I have been a little behind on my decorating part of this blog and promise to do better, This last two weeks it has been from 101 to 112 degrees everyday until today. It is so hot that the paint actually dries before it hits the object I am painting, very frustrating, the garage is even too hot to paint in! I found this photo at www.bhg.com . It is a great place for inspiration and ideas.
This is a gorgeous example of a shabby chic style living room, too many ruffles for me but it is white and comfy with pops of color and lots of texture. You can see that they have kept the lines clean and opted for minimal accessories. I love the painted paneling in the back. Paint is always a very easy fix and relatively inexpensive, I have covered up ugly paneling in a few homes with just a few coats of paint and even bad paneling looks great! When you have paneling it is sometimes glued onto drywall or plaster and although you may think pulling it off would be easier, sometimes it just opens a whole new set of problems. Just be sure you clean and sand or primer first!
Have fun decorating!
