Shabby chic, also known as shabby elegance or cottage style, is a vintage-inspired style of home décor that is meant to evoke a feeling of easy elegance that reflects quality rather than newness.   

Wood pieces are distressed or sanded to look worn, and the most prevalent fabric tend to be cottons and linens, sometimes stained with tea, bleached or faded to appear antique.  The most popular colors are pink, mint green, and soft aqua, and anything with a rose print tends to be lumped into the shabby chic scheme as well.

There are so many animal figurines available in the world, but how many of them also feature a nightlight?  This one portrays a crocodile and turtle in an intense game of chess with a cleverly placed light under the chessboard.

I recently purchased a condo and I’m in the process of decorating my place and I found some great patriotic home decor pieces online.  I was able to find some great Civil War figurines and American Eagle bookends to put on my shelf. 

I’m not anywhere near to finishing up my condo, but knowing that there are several great resources online will ensure that I will be able to someday have a wonderfully decorated home.

This guide will assist you in keeping your crystal collection beautiful and almost dust free as they are oftentimes the cornerstone of home decor. To help prevent dust from entering your cabinets and curios, apply weather stripping to the edges of the doors. When displaying your pieces, keep them back from the edges to prevent them from falling.

To clean crystal figurines wipe them with newspaper dipped in a solution of one part white vinegar to three parts water. Remove dirt from fine crevices using an inexpensive auto detail brush or soft toothbrush. The bristles are stiff enough to get into tight spaces, but soft enough not to damage surface.

Animal figurines are versatile gifts that are waiting for someone to take a gander.
