What Is It About Shabby Chic Furniture That Is So Popular?
If you happen to live in a French chateau then you're probably fairly familiar with the idea of shabby chic furniture, although if you do happen to live in a French chateau then probably most of the furniture has been handed down through several generations, and is more likely to be the real thing than a stylish modern imitation of an antique piece of furniture.
But for those who do not live in a French chateau there is still the opportunity today to benefit from the same sort of style and look, which is so typical of a French country residence. When it comes to furniture, and particularly bedroom furniture, France has a great deal to offer. There are several distinctive styles relating to French interior designer and French furniture, from late baroque to rococo, and from neo-classicism to stylish contemporary designs available today. It seems that no matter what French designers and stylists turn their talents to, the results are inevitably fantastic.
Shabby chic furniture and shabby chic bedroom furniture has become particularly popular just recently as more and more people realise just how much it can add to a room, and just how easily. Quite apart from the fact that shabby chic furniture is highly affordable, it can add a sense of style and elegance which is very much reminiscent of a country cottage nestled in the heart of Provence, or a stylish French chateau tucked in amongst the vineyards and orchards of the Loire Valley.
One of the reasons why shabby chic bedroom furniture has become so popular is that it manages to combine all of the appeal and character of antique furniture which may have been handed down through several generations, with a simple, stylish look which is uncluttered enough to be able to work in even small rooms in modern homes.
There are very few French inspired interior decoration styles and furniture styles which work well in both small and medium-sized houses as well as those with acres of space to spare. Certainly baroque and even neo-classical styles of furniture and interior design only really work effectively in rooms where there is plenty of space.
But shabby chic furniture works in almost any size room, including small country cottage rooms and even modern apartments. Often the colours involved are whites and creams, sometimes with gilts or gold trim, and easily match most other styles and furnishings within the room, as well as being light enough to allow the room to still feel spacious and airy.
If you are buying shabby chic bedroom furniture then French mirrors are a must, and placed carefully and appropriately will certainly help to reflect the sunlight and make the whole room feel more spacious and appealing.
But shabby chic bedroom furniture also helps the room feel cosy, inviting and elegant, and there is certainly an essence of romance associated with shabby chic furniture. Whatever type of property you have, and no matter what size bedroom you have, it's certainly worth considering shabby chic bedroom furniture as a way of transforming an ordinary bedroom into an extraordinary retreat from the world outside.

Can't find a decent selection of cottage style beds...any ideas?
I am wanting to buy a new queen size bed. I want it to be made of wood, preferably painted instead of stained and in a cottage/shabby chic style. The one I absolutely adore is no longer available and the only site that I can find is waaaay out of my price range. Any ideas?
Here's a link to the unavailable bed I love:

And here's the site that I can't afford. LOL
http://www.cottagehomemaine.com/capinebedroom3.html
Surely there has to be someone else that makes beds similar to what I described. I've been to all the major furniture makers and spent way to many hours online searching as well and am getting very discouraged. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
How about this one:

Good luck!
