SHABBY.....CHIC?

No, just shabby.


This is how I'm currently living.  I can cheekily look you in the eye and state that I'm going for a 'shabby chic' look.  I've always been a good liar.



I'm in a quandary. I can't decide what colors to paint my kitchen... I want something different and dramatic something to match my new sinks, countertops and backsplash...

Only one problem here.

Not getting them... I have not just ONE daughter getting married... I have TWO in the next year.  So, alas, not this year for the new countertops, sinks, backsplash and, what the hell, let's throw in a new stove and dishwasher too.  (on an up note though, our third kid is a boy)

So with that said, I'm sitting here with a bazillion different paint chips, some copic markers and paper trying to figure something out.

What I'm figuring out here, in this situation, is.... that I need a cocktail... or a highball...(still love that word), or maybe just a winning lottery ticket.

  1. I love it! I wasn't smart enough to think of shabby chic as an excuse for my living room, which would be a great match for your kitchen! Thank you! And good luck.

  3. Maybe if your cocktail is pretty enough you could take your color inspiration from that. Perhaps you should try out a few.

    1. I like that thought! After enough, it'll all blend and be just delightful! Or perhaps, the walls will be fine as they are....LOL
