I know what you mean - on the plus side, a lot of stuff is rescued and recycled that would have gotten chucked out. I've always been in two minds about it.

Also, it isn't the chabby chic per se, in my view, its the chabby-chic-with-new-pricetag attached that is the problem.

Maybe it's an attempt to harken back to the childhoods that used hand me down bedroom furniture, falling apart and adorned with past generations stickers.

Looks more gyppo chic than shabby chic.

It also bothers me when people call these things "funky" on eBay, e.g., calling a bashed up old coffee table a "funky coffee table".

It's the same as estate agents saying that crumbling old shitheaps are "full of character". Yeah, that and fucking woodworm mate.
