Tables
In my search for the ultimate dining table I have come across so many lovely things. Loving the idea of raw wood, rustic tables matched with either stark white chairs or pure black chairs.

Beautiful antique painted Italian faded walnut refectory table. The two plank top has an in set radius corners are fixed with iron cleats on oak shaped trestle legs with scrolled acanthus leaf feet Joined by a shaped stretcher circa 1800.
This next antique table is a French walnut dining table with moulded edges and set rounded corners on trestle legs.
Painted refectory table with two planks on top of a trestle base that is braced by a diagonal stretcher with a scalloped edge. Circa 1920.
Shabby chic is about balancing and combining old and worn things, silver and shiny objects along with painted wooden furniture (usually white and creams, not bright colors). It’s almost like country style but with the furniture painted in white. I always think of shabby chic as having a real rustic charm!
At the centre of any shabby chic room you can usually find the essence of the room, a gorgeous worn wooden table and chairs with chipped white paint surrounded by delicate and lovely things!
