Shabby Chic Wall Decor - Original Pieces

I'm working on a Paris apartment/ Shabby Chic / French Country type of collection. 

I can't help being inspired by two things right now:  the need to recycle old materials, and the idea of life in France.  My beloved family and I are one step closer to realizing that dream, however I'm too superstitious to talk about it.  Something happened last week that was very exciting... we're still waiting for step 2, but it's out there waiting for us, too!!!
