Shabby Chic - Design Inspiration
Design inspiration, not to be confused with divine inspiration, can come from anywhere. It is that little or big something you see that captures your complete attention and makes your design mind go into overdrive. Case in point...
this fabulous never worn, little pair of size 7, Anna Michelle, half boots.
A $ 2.00 purchase at a swapmeet.
the design and detailing is quite unique and I had never seen a pair of boots like this before.
I keep them in my design room and the funny thing is I can't keep my eyes off of my funky little boots. They have become my design inspiration for my living room. I love the white and metallic silver stitching, combined with the iridescent white beading, the milky gray cabochons and the contrast of all that to the dark bronze beads in the center of the petals.
So you see design inspiration can come from anywhere not just the pages of a magazine or a show on the tv, all you have to do is keep your eyes and minds open and your inspiration will come...

I love your style - it really inspires me as I am moving to a new home and fixing it up 'shabby chic/romantic' style before I move in. Congratulations on your grandbabies. I just became a grandma for the first time on July 29th, the day before my 47th birthday. Love your blog..

What a great website. I have been known to have shabby chic style in terms of decorating our home...Right now I am looking for an area rug (8x11 ish) It is for our tv room which is red and yellow..I would love a S.C rug with a yellow background and red accents..with maybe some sage green..not sure where to look and of course I don't want to pay top dollar. Thanks so much for your lovely inspirations!
