Fashionista Challenge: Challenge 6 Shabby Chic

Hello Fashionista's!

Time for a new challenge here at Fashionista!

This time we want to see your

Shabby Chic Creations!!!

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. At the same time, a soft, opulent, yet cottage-style decor, often with an affected feel is emphasized to differentiate it from genuine period decor.

Have fun with this one and if you havent tried it before, give it a try now!!!
