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.

Elegant Shabby Chic Vanity




This art deco style vanity was created from 2 seperate pieces. The vanity base is painted in a two-tone finish of off white and beige. Beautiful new cream coloured drawer pulls were added. The mirror, which did not originally belong has been securely attached and painted the same colour scheme. This is a solid wood, vintage piece and the measurements are 36"w x 62"H x 17"D. If required, I can provide a matching chair.
