  1. There's a fine line between shabby and chic... A touch of careful restoration certainly looks like an attractive option in this case.

  4. If shabbychic were a word it would be an oxymoron. Shabby is right, chic I'm not so sure. Perhaps elegant at one time...

  8. This looks like a shabby neighbourhood ready for transformation into chic. It has great "bones" so give it a few years and I bet it will be a trendy area.

  9. We have the technology and 10 fix-it-up channels in High Definition.

    Definitely shabby. Could be chic. I love the shot (and the door)!! The details in the corbels are great and so are the windows.

  11. La splendeur est passée, mais le charme est resté..Un coup de peinture gacherait même peut-être le charme en question!

  12. On aurait vraiment envie de former une petite équipe et de venir gratter avant de repeindre! Cela fait tristounet.

  20. I always "hear" : "Location- location" when I see photos of places that also could have been in a film.
