Yesterday I indulged my love for the grand English country "cottage" via Jane Austen.
But today's exploration of Shabby Chic is going to be decidedly more modern. Take a bit of anyplace and add some Shabby Chic and you've got your own hybrid. Urban Chic, Boho Chic, and so on, I hate to be so redundant with the "contrast thing" but my personal preferences always lean toward giving a classic style a bit of an edge.
URBANE MEETS URBAN
The following photos represent a "shabby chic" sentiment with a modern edge- either industrial, urban, or even suburban. The photos show how far you can push the idea of elegant vintage out of the country and a bit in to town.
