Shabby Chic Kitchen Accessories

Shabby chic kitchen design has an overall look of faded elegance. Often thickly layered painted furniture is rubbed down to reveal the layers below mimicking the kind of antique furniture found in French Flea Markets. This form of decorating is called distressing. Generally, the decor is pale off-white with pastel chintz or striped fabrics with wooden flooring and simple rugs.

I just love shabby chic kitchen accessories, a great look in any kitchen. To get the look choose items that have an old fashioned and slightly worn and used look. Shabby chic items should be made of materials, like wood, bare metal or enamel that can take on the appearance of wear that has been caused naturally by years of use.

Rachel Ashwell (born Rachel Greenfield on October 30, 1959), in Cambridge, England, is an author, designer and entrepreneur who was raised in London. While in her teens, Ashwell, whose mother restored antique dolls and teddy bears and father was a secondhand rare books dealer, began selling antiques at London outdoor markets.

Shabby chic (pronounced: "sheek") 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.
