Shabby Chic Defined

Shabby chic is the art of combining real or faux vintage furniture with carefully selected accents to create an atmosphere of comfort and good taste. Older furniture is often painted with several layers of paint, and then the layers wear, allowing colors from previous painting sessions to show through. Yard sales, flea markets and estate sales are good places to find genuine vintage pieces. You can create your own shabby chic pieces, however, by purchasing unfinished furniture in classic styles, such as a console table.

Console Tables

Console tables come in a variety of styles, but they have in common that they are a narrow table with storage underneath. Materials can range from sturdy barn wood or butcher block to elegant hardwoods milled into French curves. To create a shabby chic console table, paint an unfinished table in successive layers of different colored paint. Using sandpaper and paint remover, artfully remove patches of the paint in areas of the table that would normally receive wear, such as the corners and around drawer pulls. The layers will show through, giving the appearance of generations of use.

Decorating with Shabby Chic

One of the advantages of shabby chic is that you can combine a variety of styles into a room that is inviting and comfortable without excessive challenges to your budget. Look for pieces that appeal to you, that fulfill a need in your home, and incorporate them as needed. If it looks a little dented or distressed, it will have that belonged-to-grandma appeal. Dressed in similarly distressed accents, your shabby chic console table can become a conversation piece as well as a friendly greeting for visitors.
