WHAT IS SHABBY CHIC? ROMANTIC VICTORIAN WHITE WASH? COUNTRY COTTAGE? TO ME IT'S A VERY FEMININE STYLE, WITH LOTS OF LACE AND LITTLE COLOR. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MY STYLE, AS I AM ATTRACTED TO BEEING BOLD, BRIGHT AND FULL OF ENERGY. RECENTLY, THOUGH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT I'M GROWING FONDER AND FONDER OF THE CALM, CLEAN WHITE, THE NOSTALGIA OF THE PAST. I HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY A WEE BIT, SOME WEEKS AGO TO VISIT WITH TWO SPECIAL FRIENDS. VICKIE STEVENS ORLANDO AND DIANA FREY. THEY BOTH HAVE INCORPORATED IN THEIR HOMES THIS SOFT WHITE MAGIC, THAT I HAVE NAMED COUNTRY COTTAGE MAGIC….. HERE'S A PEEK AT WHAT I GOT TO SEE FIRST HAND AND DROOL.
