“But Shabby Chic wasn’t a worse offender in that regard than Martha Stewart. Nor, with a few exceptions, was its merchandise excessively affected, “quaint” or cute. It was a tad girly for my taste at times, but basically, it made beautiful and cool old things, or things in an old style, accessible for anyone who had enough money to pay its excessive markup. That’s hardly a mortal sin.”
