About Shabbyswank

I rarely see anything that I don't want to embellish. Having started as a decorative painter in 1994, I soon developed a passion for re-designing, re-purposing and re-defining vintage furniture and accessories. Little did I know that someone else had already coined the phrase "Shabby Chic" and created a design empire around it...I was just taking ugly old castoffs and making them pretty again.
Working out of my home studio in Ontario, Canada, I have established a popular line of vanities, mirrors and other accessories in the Shabby Chic style as well as a line of retro kitchen ware and one of vintage Paris artwork.

All the pieces......bits and pieces


I know I'm showing my age with that quote.

I literally found this dresser in pieces in the basement of a salvage store, needless to say, it was easy to get home that way.
Since then it has been glued, clamped, screwed, clamped some more, and it now back to it's former glory. Painted off white, distressed, and with my favorite jadite glass drawer pulls as well as new mirror added....it's now a unique and beautiful piece. Check out the little drawer under the mirror....perfect for jewelry.

All of these pieces, by the way are listed on Kijiji.ca. Do a search for Shabby Chic and link to my other listings.

Cheers,
Olwyn
