Shabby Chic

Are there any decorators out there? I desperately want to change my living room. Right now my home is probably what most would consider eclectic. I like it, but I want to change it. I love the look of shabby chic. I don't want to go extreme shabby chic but would love to add some great accent peices to give it that feel. I love the light blue distressed look. It is also time for new furniture so I would love some ideas on sofas, coffee tables, and end tables. So, come on you designers, help me out. Design my living room. I need all the help I can get.

I need help putting everything all together. I don't know where to begin....

i think Rachel Ann Welsh (sp?) of Shabby Chic may have a website out there with tips?

Check out Anthropologie.com, they are a little pricey, but great for accent pieces and even just ideas...definitely the shabby chic/nostalgic look. As far as large furniture pieces, Storehouse has a lot of interesting stuff. Both have some photos of rooms you can use as a guideline to give you ideas. good luck

I guess I live in a hole, because I just realized that Storehouse went bankrupt....ooops.

Thanks, Holly and Lisa.
Holly, I love anthropologie. Honestly, I am thinking about going with a neutral sofa/loveseat so that I can accent with different pillows. My taste is ever-changing so at least with a neutral sofa I can always change out pillows. Now to find a comfy sofa in a neutral color that can withstand two boys....lol

Thank you, Aimee! Mayne you can help me find the table I am looking for. Or even guide me in how to make my own as far as painting and distressing goes.
