Shabby Chic Design Inspiration - Accents You can Make!
Easy ideas for beginners

From Pamela Cole Harris, About.com

If you love shabby chic design, a great place to get inspiration for do-it-yourself projects is an antique shop. I spent an afternoon at a local shop and got these ideas to share with you. Most are easy projects for beginners!

Just think of scrap quilts, fringe and fabric pieces you may have. A little leftover paint, glue and a staple gun will complete the project. You can create a wonderful accent piece out of items you already have!
