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.

A Bit About Rog


So, "my guy" Roger is the President of the "I Make Weird Stuff" club. I never quite know what I will come home to...a dog made out of an old rocking chair, a metal robot head, but he loves to hand letter signs on vintage wood. I asked him to make me a "French Market" sign....and this is what I came home to. Nice huh.
