Ebay help, shabby chic or country??

So I have a wooden sign with a humorous little phrase on it and I want to list it this weekend.

Would you describe as country or shabby chic? What exactly is the differences?

Thanks!

I don't know the actual rules but for...

Shabby Chic - I'd expect it to be cream/white and look distressed.

Country - I'd expect something with smooth lines and in a medium wood tone.

Re: Ebay help, shabby chic or country??

in my opinion, country is something more rustic and wooded

shabby chic usually has a lot of patterns mixed together and usually has more whiter colors

Re: Ebay help, shabby chic or country??

Shabby chic things are usually painted, white, off white, or a light color not plain or stained wood, and are often a little distressed looking.

Painted country things often have beige, red, blue, green and yellows in
them.

Can you describe the colors & style, or post a picture?

ETA-
This stuff is shabby chic.
