Shabby Roses, Inc., is a highly specialized luxury brand that offers a one stop shop for a very special trend in home decor that has been a beloved style long since the Victorian era... Today, this exquisite trend, is mostly known as "Shabby Chic"...
The esthetics of Shabby Chic Home Decor can best be explained as a stunning blend of rustic elegance, that seamlessly ties into an array of romantic femininity, that is as beautiful as it is truly captivating.
Furniture that is considered to be "Shabby Chic", usually means that it is a piece of furniture that has a charming old "vintage" look to it - Usually it is a newer piece of furniture that has been "weathered" to make it appear as though it is "vintage" or - it could really be a vintage piece of furniture...
Either way, Shabby Chic is an esthetically captivating mix of decor that has a resounding amount of inviting charm, understated elegance, and an impeccable twist of sweet humility...
It was the romantic Victorian Era that this magnificent trend was born from, and ever since, has remained a dearly beloved style that has never once been considered as an "out-dated" or "out of style" . It has grown and waned in popularity over the centuries, but it's charms never died....
It wasn't until 1989 - when a very talented, very pretty, English woman became famous for the fresh breath of air that she spun into this old world style of decor... She brilliantly coined the term "Shabby Chic" - and from then on, it was given a whole new lease on life, which established an enormous world wide following that rediscovered the exquisite charms of the old world esthetics that the Victorian Era had beautifully produced.
Ms. Rachel Ashwell - is the name behind it all.. She is a woman who wasn't afraid to embrace the magic behind "treasure hunting" - and she showed us how to find vintage treasures, that had more life in them then they did when they were brand new....
She showed us the beauty of making everything "old" - "new again"... Finding the elegance in the rustic - creating charm out of what others called stagnant...
Her style charmed even the most discerning of decorators that were considered the top in their field - Today, this esthetically exquisite trend in home decor - is a niche that is emphatically embraced world wide and has a following that is only growing larger and larger by the year...
I discovered this trend about 15 years ago - and fell hopelessly in love with it... The only problem was that I wasn't a very good "treasure hunter" and it was hard to find this stores that offered this trend of style.
For this very reason, Shabby Roses, Inc., was formed.... I wanted to be able to offer a one stop shop that specialized in Shabby Chic, French Country, and Cottage Romantic Home Decor and Fine Home Furnishings. Slowly -
I searched and scowered the globe for this style of home decor and home furnishings... However- I wanted to offer my customers only the finest products that I could possibly find. My standards in the products I wanted to come with the Shabby Roses name - were very high - not only that - but the vendors I was looking to partner with had to be a company that had a good reputation, and known for being upstanding, creditable, and modeled respectable ethics...
As you can imagine - this made my search just that more difficult - Finding a company who not only sold this style of decor - but also upheld all the other commodities that I was insistent on finding - was like finding a needle in a haystack... However I kept on keeping on - My search went on for a solid two years...
Today - Shabby Roses, Inc. has partnered with over 97 high quality business partnerships with an assortment of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, drop-shippers, and retailers alike, that make this style of home decor...
With - impeccable standards and the highest of quality too... :)
