Shabby Chic Decorating in the Home


Decorating Shabby chic is a common theme in many homes these days. Whether it's the unique beauty of shabby chic that you adore or it's just the fact that shabby chic decor is easy to do...the overall look is fun and interesting. A pairing of the old and new together with various textures and fabrics makes shabby chic decor one of my favorites!

There are many different ways that a home can be decorated shabby chic. Here are some of my favorite uses for shabby chic home decor in the home!

Behr Paint Colors for a Shabby Chic Bedroom

I was recently thinking about painting my bedroom with a shabby chic design to add some life and class to the room. The only problem was the fact that there are just so many different interior paint colors to choose from that I nearly couldn't decide. Behr paint colors are absolutely beautiful and vibrant in color no matter what shades you choose, but which interior paint colors from Behr are truly shabby chic?

I composed a list of some of the most shabby chic Behr interior paint colors that are perfect for a shabby chic bedroom design. Of course the list will be ever changing since Behr paints updates their color list on a semi annual basis, but for now I have a whole list of interior paint colors to choose from.

Here is a just a small sample of the list of interior paint colors that I have chosen from Behr as possibilities for my new shabby chic bedroom decor. Stay tuned for ideas on where to shop for shabby chic bedroom furniture and shabby chic accessories!

What's for Dinner?

SO every once in a while the big question comes popping up....well, not that big question...but the next big thing....What's for Dinner?

The kids ask it all the time, the hubby asks it occasionally, and heck even I ask it sometimes...so what is, for dinner? How about some Italian?

Here is a great recipe for the absolute best Italian Soup in the world! It is really easy to make and won't break the bank when it comes to ingredients.

Not sure what to make with the soup? That's OK too...You can whip up a quick salad to go with the Italian Soup which happens to be called Zuppa Toscana

So, when your family asks what's for dinner tonight....give them a quick and easy response.....The Best Italian Soup Ever...Of COurse!
