Shabby Chic ...

what is it about those two words that always makes me stop and have a look? I. Like. It. Yes! I wish I could do my home in shabby chic... I just cannot seem to get the hang of it! :( But I keep trying.  I will show you how I try ...

First I made this horrid mess...

To make this ... my interpretation of shabby chic ... it has lace, doily, butterflies, pearls, flowers, vintage photo, embossing ... is that shabby chic?

I hope it is shabby chic ... I made it for another swap and the theme is shabby chic. :-\
