Is 'shabby chic' still a cool look for entire house?

[Randomposter]

I just love it but wonder if I'm 20 years behind the times?

Its your house, decorate it how you like? dont pander to 'fashion', thats what other people like...

This is what I cam on to say.

I decorate my house to suit me not "coolness" or fashion.

Personally I think it's better done yourself rather than bought shabby from a store but, at the end of the day, you are the one living there.

I have done mine all myself I have no money so it is all donated furniture, stuff from charity shops - even the tip. and I am shit at painting

I moved into my house without beds, without chairs, without even any plates or cutlery - 4dc and me. I'll be fucked if I will tolerate anyone coming into my home and telling me I am behind the times, or I should "paint things properly" This is my home and it gives me joy every time I open the front door. I will do it my way. So should you OP.

That's the bench.

The door is purple but the same style - paint, sanded, waxed. Was my kitchen door but got on my nerves.

Vintage signs are at the other end and I only hung up the bunting this morning.

I think your house sounds fab SunnyOutside

Agree with all those who say your house your taste!

Garden looks good KingJoff

Looks great! Love the chalk board

Thankyou sonnet I love it - probably too much as I never want to spend time out of the home now!

tatty pallid messy clutter with extra words is horrible for many of us - but it is YOUR house and you do just what you like.

just take it with you when you sell because anything you leave will go on the bonfire!

OP some people are arses and snobby about home decor - don't let their opinion mean anything. One persons bonfire fodder is another persons joy and much loved possessions.

and the need to say that was what SpecialSubject?

One person's minimalist calm is another person's bland, sterile laboratory. :)

Well if you like it, you should go for it OP.

If this kind of thing bothers you, though, then I do think that particular trend has peaked, yes.

Was it ever 'cool'?? As you can guess, I don't like it at all but if you do then go for it. I do find painting very therapeutic so can see the appeal of painting all your furniture.
