Today has been designated Shabby Chic Day! Mom has been a big fan of Shabby Chic decorating for many years - even before us. She believes in reusing and recycling but we have taught her a bunch more things to bring her up to the higher levels of Shabby Chic for Cats.
 |
| How many cats can you find on the bed? |
Tip number one - cover all furniture with soft fluffy fleece. We love to lay on soft fabric -the thicker the better. This gives a casual comfy look to the home.
 |
| Darby |
Tip number two - instead of putting it away, pile your clean laundry on the top of the dresser for a few days so we can snuggle on it and make it cat presentable.
 |
| Joey and Ivy |
Tip number three - scatter various size pet beds around the house for us to nap in. Naps are very important!!!
 |
| Mamacita, Rosa and Yoko |
Tip number four - for us older cats, place steps next to sofas, chairs and beds so we can walk up easily. And do leave scratching boards out in plenty of places for us to use.
 |
| Two Spot and Sam |
Tip number five - window coverings should be kept to a minimum to allow lots of sunlight indoors and for our viewing pleasure.
 |
| Lily |
Tip number six - boxes are a must, in all shapes and sizes placed in nooks and crannies. One can never have too many boxes!
 |
| The whitsters (and Woody) |
Tip number seven - for those of you lucky enough to have a screen porch, plenty of shelves at different heights make great spots for us to lounge, catch some rays and snoopervise.

You kitties are the Martha Purrwerts of feline decorating! We saw SIX kitties on the bed...isn't that the standard amount, ha ha!
Thanks for all the great Shabby Chic tips! I think they are perfect!
Excellent tips, one and all!! I particularly like the draped chair and steps. Nothing says shabby chic quite like a chair made perfect for its intended sitters... errrr... inhabitants... errr... users. Well, you know!
OMC! Yoo are clearly Shabby Chic experts! I am so impressed! Yoo have PURRfected the Shabby Chic home decor style!
Hey, Concats, it's so cool!

I really enjoyed your blog post, i always got good, relevant and useful information from your new and unique posts, i m sure your blog will keep us continues update. Thanks for providing us such useful information.
Those are really good tips. I do think everything looks better with a little cat fur on it. At least that's what Banjo seems to think! :)
Happy week kitties!

Everywhere I go today I've been impressed, but wow gang, you've done it up right!
We've picked up a few tips from you all and we will be informing mum what needs her most urgent attention!!

I am impressed by the six kitties on the bed and they are close together. We love all your decorating ideas. They sound just right. Mom wanted to ask you about your screened in porch Is that the kind of fence I have around my pasture for the horses and donkeys?/ That is such a good idea. Wish I could get mine done like that. Take care.
Excellent tips! We do some of this already - we also do some carpet shredding, just to help! :)
I love it! What a great post.
What a fantastic post. My cats have given me decorating tips also (Mom, it doesn't say lived in unless there are cat toys, scratching posts, and beds EVERYWHERE!).
There are 7 kitties on the bed. And you guys have as many blankets and coverings on your furniture as we do! Why is it that with all of us lufferly poodins, that we have tons of coverings on the furniture? What's wrong with our fur?

Excellent bed kitties!

Mom has everything covered just like you do because we go everywhere...

You definitely are the exPURRts at this kind of decorating! Simply having a cat covering every possible surface qualifies you as the alltime champs!
Well done kitties.... great tips!!!
You have got the shabby chic look mastered and the tips are very helpful. You have got lots of great sleeping spots there. Hugs GJ x
Excellent tips!! We practice some of those ourselves!!
Thanks for all the tips in Shabby decorating..
Chloe and Cecil
What a contented caboodle of cats, and they all seem to get along so well. Thanks for the kitty tips :)
Those are some good tips!
We have tried to get in the house to see what we could do to make it Shabby, but Mom stops us. We think it is already pretty shabby without our help!
Hope you are having a good Tuesday!

Very good Shabby Chic decorating :)
I think I counted 7 kitties on the bed.
Love the Shabby Chic deco!!
Hi Kitties! We love your decorating tips! Mom follows some of them but we will have to get her to start with the others (like the window covering one - we have way too many of those at our house). WE love all the pictures too - perfect illustrations to your tips!
Holy cat! You are definitely professional shabby-chic-ers! Thank you for the wonderful tips. :)
We love soft fleece to lay on. Mama used to give us new fleecy blankets every Christmas. She needs to do that again. Clean laundry is wonderful especially if we can lay on it while it is still warm from the dryer!
