Our Shabby Chic Summerhouse makeover has been getting some fabulous feedback, both from The Girls who use it almost daily, and online. I still have several tweaks I want to make, things I want to add and top of my hit-list was a rug. So I was delighted when Culture Vulture Direct got in touch to offer one. Funnily enough I had received my copy of their catalogue in the mail only that morning and had been petitioning DH for the Providence Rag Rug to go in front of the Aga.
No joy on the rag rug but utter delight when the Multi-Braided Fairtrade rug arrived a couple of days later. It fits beautifully in the space, the bright colours breaking up the relentless pink carpet. It is comfortable, thick, and well-stitched, so the girls enjoy sitting on it playing cards, or using it as a table for their tea parties. It’s remarkably tactile: I keep stroking the thick braids and stitching. And it represents good value at under £40: a great gift for Christmas or a house-warming. I couldn’t be happier.
And whilst I continue to hunt for things to bring out the most of our Shabby Chic Summerhouse, why not take a look at this instructional video which tells you how to make any piece of furniture Chic-yet-Shabby in a few easy steps.
