When Shabby Chic burst on the decorating scene several years
ago its distinctive femininity appealed to many of us. The Laura
Ashley ruffles of the previous design wave met antiquity head

Not only did it encompass many different aspects of design,
Shabby Chic revived our interest in the different textures of
vintage pieces and was the precursor to our current design
phase - Stark Eclecticism (a term I made up!)
Where as Shabby Chic is girlish, Stark Eclecticism is
a unique mix of classic design, industrial chic, midcentury
modern, vintage, and retro decor - often with quite
charmingly masculine results.
As much as I like it, I just have too many
pretty things to be a minimalist.

I love wood crates. They're so rugged and versatile.
Have a great weekend. If you get a chance, go thrifting!
