Shabby Chic, Provence, South of France, and Chalk paint

chalk paint samples

Hello friends:




We all love the Shabby Chic look, country french furniture, the chalk paint is designed to transform a piece of furniture into a french shabby chic look alike.
Here is some inspirations pictures to get us in the mood, to start our series on painting with this great paint, I will give you some tips from my own mistakes, I'm still learning,  I did a beautiful picture frame in Louis Blue, and two shelves in Provence.

The French introduced the comfortable couches and chairs in the 1800, thus, shabby chic.

Very soothing, from Coastal Living

I love this bedroom I cann't remember where it came from, but its lovely.

In our next post I will explain how I did it step by step.  Today just some fun inspiration from the South of France.

A simple but very French living room

A dark couch with linen pillows

Chip and charming from Coastal living,  distressed to the max.

Now that we have a little inspiration, let's dream about our own shabby french rooms, and, follow me tomorow, for the paint lesson/ tutorial/learn by your mistakes.
