Treasures by Shabby Chic

Who knew that Rachel Ashwell was bringing her brand to QVC of all places?  Well, it's a fact and Ms. Ashwell's items premiered on the popular online shopping channel today.  Not sure I'm in love with the idea, but I have to admit I was a little bit excited.  Below are some of the Treasures by Shabby Chic pieces currently available through QVC:

{Upholstered Bench}

 

{Set of 3 Mercury Glass Candlesticks}





{Accent Table}





{Distressed Rose Gold Tone Mirror}



{Vintage Inspired Cut Glass Lamp}

 

{Fleur de Lis wall hooks}

Have a lovely evening, Alicia

Distressed Patina Nightstand Revamp

Our vintage carrera marble top nightstands are preparing for a makeover.  But we're struggling to decide what color to finish and distress to use on the wooden base.  Our bedroom is a medium grey right now (soon to be white), so my thoughts for finishing the base of the nightstands are distressed, french grey or distressed white.  Here are the nightstands along with some photos of paint colors and finishes being considered.  We need your help!!

Should we consider a distressed french grey?







Or a distressed white finish?

 

Please share your opinion and if you have suggestions for another color or finish, please share that too!!  

Merci! Alicia
