I have been told that my home is Shabby chic!
This is something I have not heard before – where have I been? There is a definition for it in Wikipedia! 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.
We take pride in making almost all our furniture out of recyclable wood, steel, corrugated sheeting, chains, and other stuff. Here you will see what we have built to make our outside space “Shabby Chic”. My next post, I will share with you the inside of our house, because in the 8 years we have been here, we have tackled huge renovation projects. You might be interested what we keep ourselves busy with – when I’m not gardening! 🙂
