Vintage Shabby
How can I make modern or contemporary decor look warm and inviting like Shabby Chic or romantic decor?
I’m moving in with my boyfriend and he has given me $10,000 to completely decorate our new apartment. (Yea!) The problem is he loves contemporary and modern pieces like this dining room table http://www.jensen-lewis.com/product.php?pid=00000695, and I like everything but. My favorite style is shabby chic. I like most things vintage, romantic, and fresh or airy feeling. Here are some pictures of the type of decorating I like:

How would I mix these two styles or if that’s impossible, what style might accommodate both of us? I am pretty flexible, I just don’t want to feel like I’m living in a spaceship.
You have great taste. Your boyfriend is in ? Decorate a room too his liking and decorate the rest to your liking because they do clash. Best compromise I can come up with . Good luck !~
