Chippy, Distressed, Weathered, Shabby...

Chippy, distressed, weathered, shabby...the list can go on and on. No matter what word you choose to use, everyone in the antique world will know exactly what you are talking about. This style has been all the rage for years now. When it came into the antique world, it took it by storm and it is still causing a rucuss. Today we will be focusing on this craze and how you can get in on it at TNJ! These pieces are so easy to style and we are going to show you just that.

Such a functional piece! Use it as an island in your kitchen to provide that much needed counter space without making a huge or permanent investment!

This would work great on a patio or you can even put it inside to spice things up!

Use mismatched stools for a different yet pulled together look!

Big vintage trunks are great to use as coffee tables and you can even store all of your blankets inside of them for those cozy TV and ice cream kind of nights!
