Lace Tablecloths
Lace was once considered a prestige symbol since it was handcrafted. Lace is now mass-produced and inexpensively priced. These tablecloths lack the “Victorian charm” that they possessed in the early twentieth century. Lace is also extremely delicate, so it won’t survive long on a well-used kitchen table. People will be reminded of church altars if you put white atop white with lace. Instead, choose a great, robust, attractively printed tablecloth.

Distressed Kitchen Furniture
Distressed furniture has been purposely worn down to appear old. You can make your home look more shabby chic by distressing one or two objects. Consider strolling through a modern home and then entering an “antique” kitchen. Isn’t it startling? Distressed cabinets and drawers look out of place in modern kitchens with tile or marble countertops. People will notice if you push the “antique” aesthetic into a modern context. Either shabby-chic your entire house or none of it.
