Surely we can't have a thread like this without giving honourable mention to the tireless army of misguided fools across the land that buy any old tat furniture, paint it with Farrow and Ball paint, bash it about a bit then think they'll make a killing on it by calling it "shabby chic". No it isn't, its grandma's wobbly old sideboard that was ready for the skip, painted in overpriced emulsion, badly, then knocked about.
It's shit, all of it. I have to wonder if these people actually manage to turn a profit. Judging by the number of adverts for part used tins of F&B, I guess not.
