Shabby Chic Green

How can I keep my floral curtains from making my living room look like a little old lady's?


I have some Laura Ashley curtains that I got new for super cheap at a sale. They are cream background with red and pink and blue flowers and green and beige leaves. They are probably 75% cream.

I thought they were shabby chic when I bought them, and I painted my living room a soft mossy green to match them. The couch matches the beige in the curtains too. Now what? I need some things to hang on the wall, but am more attracted to edgy art that clashes with the room and everything I look at that "matches" the curtains looks old lady-ish to me.

Do I need to just dump the curtains? I really like them and don't want to :(

Keep the curtains if you like them. The room sounds very nice so far. And I understand your concern over the "too old lady" looking.

You mentioned you are looking for art and you like edgy.
I would say, find some edgy art that has some or all of the same colors that the room already has...red, blue, pink, blue, greens, etc.
Find some throw pillows that have an "edgy print" in some of the same colors.

Then, maybe throw another unexpected item into the room like a zebra rug (cream & black/brown) in front of the sofa for instance. Doesn't have to be a zebra rug necessarily but some other item that makes the room look like a collection of styles you like and not just the shabby chic.

This 1st link of a contemporary rug in black, cream and pinks would look nice...http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-finished-Black-Maze-Wool-Rug-3-x-5/3077444/product.html

This rug link would really change the old look of the room...http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-Royal-Quill-Red-Wool-Rug-4-x-6/4230321/product.html

This zebra rug is a subtle beige and cream that would look nice with your colors yet not be overpowering...http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Zebra-Print-Animal-Skin-Rug-53-x-79/4365591/product.html

Art work like this, including some of your colors may look nice..http://www.target.com/Flower-Head-Salvador-Framed-Print/dp/B001E1PV3A/ref=br_1_4?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=402205011&node=402205011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Flower%20Head%20Salvador%20Framed%20Print
Some black & white art may look cool too...http://www.target.com/Le-Rouge-16-X/dp/B002EA0DSI/ref=br_1_1?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=133928011&node=133928011&searchRank=salesrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Le%20Rouge%2016%20X

These are just ideas that might help you with adding other colors, patterns and styles to what you already have and like.
Keep the shabby chic and work from there.

LUXE HIPPIE COUTURE

What would be a classy Shabby Chic color to paint my kitchen besides shades of white or cream? Name of Paint..?


I was looking at a pale robbins egg blue green and it came out a pure baby blue on the wall. I hate it! Please recommend a brand and color for me for paint. Thanks!

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think "funky yellow" (# 6913) might be a good choice.

You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

http://www.roomvues.com/

You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
