Shabby Chic with Boyish Charm

I try to spotlight parties that either offer a great, helpful solution, like last week's boy and girl garden party here, or a party that showcases a unique twist–like this one!

When you think "shabby chic" normally you think girly: white, pink, lace, distressed props, etc. But this party takes shabby chic to a different level–for a boy! I saw this yesterday on Celebrations at Home. Done by mom Suzanna at Mon Tresor, I love how she was able to pull off the shabby chic look for her 3-year old son! She incorporated blues and chocolate brown into the color scheme. When she did use a traditional girlie detail, like lace, she used a beige color to give it a hint of masculinity. She did a wonderful job! You can see the full showcase either at Celebrations at Home here or at Mon Tresor's original blog post here.
