Bistro Shabby Chic 1 Shabby Chic summer styleNot only is this gorgeous Shabby Chic summer furniture but you can even buy it as a print! Isn’t it lovely?
Suzanne says:

This “Bistro” photograph was made in one of my favorite towns, Saint Helena, which is in the Napa Valley, CA. If I still lived in California, that is the town in which I would want to live! I love the red and white striped awnings and table for two. It feels very European to me, as well. Sit down and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine…

This original colour photograph is currently available in my shop as an ACEO, 5 x 5, and 8 x 8 print.

It would certainly brighten up a grey summer’s day here in London, sigh…
If you want to order a print or see her other work have a look at the Italian Girl in Georgia etsy shop
