Shabbare non significa affatto dare nuova vita a qualcosa di vecchio. Quello è il restyling. Shabbare è una cosa unica, rendere un mobile antico e usurato dal tempo. Anzi, un mobile shabby lo è di natura usurato, non lo devi rendere usurato.
Shabby: Showing signs of wear and tear; threadbare or worn-out: shabby furniture.b. Dilapidated or deteriorated in condition, especially through neglect; seedy: a shabby little park.
Shabby chic items are often heavily painted through the years, with many layers showing through obviously time-worn areas. The style is imitated in faux painting using glaze or by painting then rubbing and sanding away the top coat to SHOW THE WOOD or base coats, known as “distressing” the finish of the furniture.
