Shabby Chic Decorating - Dining Rooms
It has been raining here for a few days so I have been spending plenty of time looking at what I have and rearranging a little here and there. I needed a little inspiration and I thought maybe some of you could use some Monday decorating inspiration....
I have had emails from a few of you regarding decorating a mantle so I will try to bring in pics to help you with that. I personally don't like too much on a mantle but I really love this one and may try to do something like it for spring. I really love the look of layered mirrors and another great place for this look would be the bathroom. You could really give an outdated bathroom a fabulous new look that would be perfect for any shabby chic home by using this idea!
This armoire was repurposed into a wet bar for a dining area.
It could also be turned into a wine bar, linen or guest closet full of everything your guests would need during their visit.
I love this intimate dining area and you have probably noticed I love parson chairs paired
with vintage and glass tables.They can give a dining room
a more modern and up to date look.
This is a pretty modern kitchen that retains its vintage feel without sacrificing function, I would probably change the light fixture to a sleeker vintage style pendant light fixture because I am not crazy about fabric shades in a kitchen, I like everything easy to clean.
Photographs are from Country Living, BHG.com, Cottage Living
and sent in by some of you.
Thank you
