Vaughns Country Cafe is one example that has been researched. It is situated in Tockholes, Lancashire, and stands on the site of the former Hollinshead Mill. Similarly to Burton Mill, the owners of Vaughns intend their cafe to be a a great place to begin or end a walk in the countryside. The images below show the interior and exterior of Vaughns.
The interior of Vaughns Country Cafe shares some similarities with the Shabby Chic concept for Burton Mill. The idea of creating a mismatched look has been employed with different coloured table cloths and a neutral background, with minimal colour. Also, the wooden furniture is painted in off-white, a colour frequently adopted within Shabby Chic schemes.
Cafe Violette is another country cafe, located within the Barn Antiques Centre, in Long Marsden, Warwickshire. It's interior encompasses the Shabby Chic theme, with a mismatched scheme of old painted furniture. Like the scheme for Burton Mill, a natural colour palette has been adopted at Cafe Violette. The furniture is painted in off-white, dusky blues and greens, and pinks. These quirky seating arrangements stand out from a neutral background. The images below show the cafe interior and exterior.
