To funny, I hear you.I like rustic, vintage, weathered myself.Not all things are shabby chic in mind and that table is very weathered~Cheers Kim
It's so... old.
And not so chic...
love your observation!
By the way... I do love the table...( didn't want to make the wrong impression!)
When I think of chic I think of something that is elegant as opposed to the term to mean stylish...
Do they really say that?? Silly! The table is beautiful...and the older and 'Frencher' the better!
Hope you've had a fabulous weekend!!! :)
xo J~
ok I do love that table ... I already have a place for it in my imaginary future house, but I do totally agree "shabby chic" is over used & used in the wrong contexts all the time. so yes I do vote that a new term be coined
Oh yeah I'm so with you on that girlfriend. Shabby What!!!

I suppose one must recognise the longevity of the 'Shabby Chic' style and how common a term it has become and how pervasive the style has become. I agree that it does not need the term shabby chic accociated with it,in fact I would term it vintage or time worn, or gorgous or droolworthy.... {sigh} myself before I would think SC.
Love the table, what's your new term?
tired...tired...words........
I agree!
And a simply gorgeous table.

Hmmm. How about vintage cool....Ok. Even my 10 year old would Vito that one. One more try... Beautiful!
Yes, hate the term, though love the table :)
There is nothing "chic" about being "shabby". Like Memphsis Design let's leave shabbt chic back in the '80's.
Hi Pam,
I don't call that shabby chic. It is distressed and has it's natural patina which comes with age. Shabby Chic is a bit twee, pinky and frilly !! I love that table and wouldn't insult it with the term 'shabby chic' !! XXXX
I really never knew what exactly came under the term "shabby chic". I like vintage myself. 8>)
I agree. Shabby has such a negative connotation and smacks of the last century. Let's move on!
Tee hee...you are so cute..and I agree 100%. Happy Monday morning sweet friend...wish I could pop over and take you out for lunch today. xoxoxoxo
whatever you call it -- it's still pretty!
The towel I did by 'borrowing' your logo and embellishing a little will be zipping your way when the post office opens again tomorrow! Thank you for passing the stylish blogger award my way!!

Whenever I hear the term "shabby chic", I think of some falling apart piece of furniture that someone found at the side of the road and slapped a coat of white paint on! This beautiful table is most assuredly not shabby chic. It's gorgeous!
lol..loved your post Pam!;) LOVE the table too!!! Hugs,Rachel

Amen Amen Amen! Nothing is worse than when someone walks into my house and says "Oh Shabby Chic"!!! I say "NO it's NOT"!!!
xxx's
It's like someone saying 'your house is so cute'. IT IS NOT CUTE!! hehe
xo
AMEN!
Haha agreed! That is a gorgeous table.
Ha! I had to laugh at this because just recently I had the same thing come up - and that's exactly what I thought. :)
warmly,
