There is a thin line between shabby and trashy.
I do not like anything called shabby or chic. I had to read this book in self-defense. My wife is always trying to sneak this stuff into the house. Just today, I spotted a white lace ceramic plate protruding from the plant ledge.
I suggest that you must do this to do it correctly. This book is very helpful in not only what to combine, but also where to find it. Pay close attention to the resources in chapter 8. Rachel does not skimp on the color pictures and several views of the same thing.
If you attempt this without a guide, you will end up with shabby trash. Imagine a leopard sofa next to a red wall.
