Shabby Chic

	What, you ask, is shabby chic? It is a term that was coined in the late 1980’s by Rachel Ashwell. Rachel describes this type of home décor as fresh and traditional; simple and ornate; casual and elegant; rumpled and tidy. Confused? Let me explain. What is Shabby Chic? Shabby chic is the concept of using accessories, furniture and household items from the 1900 to 1950 eras to decorate your home. Remember how Grandma decorated her home? She didn’t buy new furniture or household items. Most things were handed down through generations or made by hand. After all, Grandma lived through two world wars as well as the Great Depression. Things that she used were both durable and practical. There was no room or money for frivolous items. Grandma braided and hooked rag rugs, or used left over pieces of wool to hook a wool rug. Jute was used for throw rugs. Curtains were made from bleached sugar bags instead of white linen or breezy cotton fabric. Rugs were hung on the clothes line and “beaten” rather than being vacuumed. They were washed by hand or in a wash tub and hung on the line to dry.
