Shabby Chic, hey its Buttercup again xx



Hey Everyone... Today i wanted to show you some typical shabby Chic interior , 3 of each room you may find in an everyday house house... In these photos you will be able to see all we have talked about so far in my interior articles... i would Like you to focus on the little detail however... The icing on the cake , the finishing touches as although i talk about them i have never really given them much credit but the details can make or brake the room, So it is very important. Just remember to bare that in mind when looking through these photographs...

You may have noticed by now that all the images are slightly different as the designer has made it to suite their needs and their fantasy of a Shabby Chic room. Each one is personalized to perfection! Which is the secret to shabby chic there are so many things to choose from but its those who go the extra mile in detail that succeed!

Vintage Photographs

Oh my , 
I really love Vintage photographs  , you know the ones that are so creatively done , and so beautiful. I myself am not a good photographer , but i would love to be .So this blog article is for all people that are , or want to be, Vintage  photographers. Good Luck!
( Maybe post your pictures on here if you want , I would love to see them!) 


There are lots of things you can photograph , and make vintage. Such as landscapes , Norfolk is ideal for these. With its pretty little countryside .You simply can't get that signature English countryside look anywhere else .Nature such as trees and flowers are very often featured in vintage photographs.

A rule of vintage photography , is to opt for one or the other , very simple : i.e just one main thing in the picture , or to have lots of things , in a "cluttered" fashion. 


Many cameras , computers and phones have affects that can make your photos look vintage. But i must say i prefer the natural photos , that our taken at just the right time of the day , so they have wonderful lighting . Dawn is really beautiful for this , and so is dusk.

I always love to see pictures of people dressed in vintage clothes. It really makes my day to see someone sticking to this beautiful style. Because without people like that , the style would be gone by now.They keep the fashion alive and fresh. I love to see those photos , with the people with their bright lipsticks and big hair. Its a lot of fun to be one of those models too , so maybe you and your friends could get together and do something like that , it would be lots of fun for you all! 

So there are some ideas , i must say that i am not very wonderful with photography, but i am truly inspired by the photographs i see every day. Hope you enjoyed reading this article :) 

Keep on telling your friends about us , and like us on your google + and stumble upon. 

Yours ,

Buttercup... Creating a room !! xx



Hey everyone, To show you how easy it is to put together an amazing room , without over spending i am going to create a room right now for you all to see, using as many of the top tips i have given you in other articles :) ... Today i will be creating a Living Room.

Lets put this together detail by detail...
Colour Theme: Light Blue
Wallpaper for feature wall : http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=553896 
 Here is the wallpaper i selected for the feature wall a subtle blue leaf pattern! £12.99 (Dimensions in m: (W)5.2, (L)10.05)
Following on from that theme we need to pick out either the white or the blue to paint all the other walls with! I am going to pick blue to add more colour into the room.
Paint: Blue Lagoon £1.69 (per 50ml)

 The shape of the room helps make important decisions including the layout which decides what furniture we use. For this example lets picture a rectangular room.

Along the bottom we will have a corner sofa towards the left hand side!  Like this one:
 Notice we are still sticking to the colour theme! This sofa is the main feature of furniture in your room so its okay to splash out a little at £899.00 but you don't have to spend that much aslong as you are willing to shop around!

In the bottom right hand corner we shall have an arm chair, Notice that we are keeping all the furniture very neutral and we will leave the details and finishing touch to the accessories. This way if you chose to change the theme you can keep the furniture and change the accessories to suite it this will save money next time!

 Unfortunately i am unable to state a price for this piece, but these chairs don't need to cost lots... you don't need to buy it brand new you could simply buy the chair and replace the cover of it to the colour you want again saving money !

Now lets imagine the on the top long wall in the center is a lovely fireplace ...
 
Here is an example of what the fire place may look like:

 Obviously minus all the details in this picture however these kind of details are a good example of what you could do!

At the left end side lets imagine there are french doors that lead on to an open plan kitchen and dining room!
For Example:


the other wall shall have a window and curtains ...
For example:
You could situate a small table there to put a decoration on later for example:
as part of the details you may put a flower display or lamp on their if you want!

In the center of the room towards the corner sofa their shall be a coffee table and to the right side of the fire place a television table!

Example T.V stand: 


Example Coffee table:



this leaves us to details cushions  Lamps, Maybe even some photo frame displays (remembering the levels,sizes and colour variations that was spoken about in another article of mine :) ) 
Details is when you can really have fun here are some that i have selected: 


Hope you enjoyed creating this room with me .... if you did please comment a colour scheme below for me to create next time... Buttercup :) xxx
