Decor Crush: Shabby Chic




While in London last month I spent the second half of my trip at my mate Paula's home. Here is a walk through her shabby chic house nestled in south London.
Fairy lights illuminate unused wood logs in the fireplace. At night they create a gorgeous light.


Vintage and second hand finds are her signature and are throughout her home. Look at this old suitcase that sits so well in her living room beside a chest of drawers.



Her cat's name is Beauty and she has the most incredible face. She almost looks unreal here.

She bites by the way.

The union jack cushion is a Primark find. The sofa is a vintage chesterfield bought from a local antique shop. She has two of them flanking each side of the living/dining room.


Paula's coat of the day (or week) hangs from her bedroom door.


An old working safe that took several men to bring it into her home because of it's weight.



Here's Beauty again sitting at her usual spot on the arm of the sofa. Look at that glare it's almost human-like.

Anthropologie or Pier 1 sells similar style furniture.
It's a lot of photos for this post so click through to see the rest of her home.
