Shabby Chic, For Reals

Last weekend my lovely friend, Kielly, sent me the link to this awesome article from the New York Times. It's about a couple who, having been priced out of New York City, decided to buy their first home on the cheapity cheap upstate whilst still renting in Brooklyn. Inspiring and amazing! They did almost all of the refurbishing work themselves, and bought almost all of their furniture at thrift stores or on Craigslist. My mind is now swimming with possibilites, people. Seriously, those white mismatched chairs had me at hello. (P.S. - Thanks KD!)
