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.

This would be the perfect gift for any chess, reptile or amphibian enthusiast who needs a little extra household illumination. Checkmate!
