a shabby chic family home



Love these pictures and their relaxed shabby chic feel.  Careful colour palette, mix of old and new furnishings, the sort of unpretentious, family-friendly look that I feel totally comfortable with.







The flat is actually in Brooklyn, decorated and lived in by an English family, who put the look together themselves on a shoe string.  The mum is obviously a design whizz, if her site, White Rabbit England,  is anything to go by




This is about each person having their space in the colours they want; about the family getting together over lunch and checking their geography lessons :)  and about enjoying a light, high ceiling flat with space to entertain.


Just tell me ... who ever said that a beautiful home had to cost a fortune?!





Hope you are enjoying your week, I am out and about today but I'll be back tomorrow with more goodies to show you ... and your dogs.

  10. I especially adore that bath and bathroom - it is the kind of space when just wants to soak in while sipping tea or champagne and listening to Classical in the background and unwinding......

  16. Great examples of shabby chic, love that photo of Peter Sellars (I think it's him?). It is very unexpected to see the starkness of the photo amongst the softness.
