Shel's Shabby Chic Vintage painted furniture, workshops, unique tableware and handmade home décor with personality. ARE YOU LOOKING FOR VINTAGE FURNITURE WITH PERSONALITY?

Vintage furniture uniquely transformed for the chic modern home. I specialise in transforming vintage, mid-century and classic wooden furniture, using high quality paints, decoupage, gold leaf and hand painted designs, turning them into totally unique pieces with personality. Transformed pieces can be purchased from my website or I can customise your own furniture to order, to match your décor or

to be a bespoke one-off statement piece. Photos of previous commissions and Reviews can be seen on my page. If you see a piece of furniture that you like, but perhaps in a different colour or design, please get in touch; a similar piece can be sourced and customised just for you.

WE DID A THING 💕

You may have noticed I was offline last week, as we were on a big family holiday in Wales ... and Glen and I got married! 💍

We haven't been together that long - only almost 20 years! 😆

Whilst we had the family gathered together from all over the UK we thought we'd just slip in a quick wedding, whilst we were visiting Portmeirion Village. 😉

If you've followed me for a while you'll know it's my favourite place in the world and also where my mum's ashes are scattered. A very special place. ❤️

Today's our 1-week anniversary. 👰🤵‍♂

A personal name change is on the cards, along with a business rebrand and a new website, so lots going on behind the scenes. 😀

Happy Tuesday from me, Michelle, the new Mrs Dear x 😊

It's all in the detail, and the crisp, clean lines of course!

And the marvellous metallic ... well that could only be GILD in Champagne. 🥂🍾

It's easy to add a little bling to your furniture - choose your favourite metallic on my website.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS ... which colour would you fall in love with?

Get in touch today to commission me to transform this beautiful Beeanese tallboy just for you and your home.

And yes, I've used AI to 'paint' them - it is a wonderful tool, especially when you see the original naked piece in the middle, with the awful rose decals 😆.

Commission this piece and you can choose from hundreds of paint colours, either to match or complement your bedroom décor.

Add a metallic accent colour for extra elegance. ✨️

Add wallpaper-lined drawers for a wonderful finishing touch. ✨️

This stylish mid-century storage has stunning vintage handles, five dovetailed drawers built by craftsmen, and has curves in all the right places!

So what colour would you love?

⏳️TIME FLIES ...
when you're having fun painting furniture.🎨

Cannot believe I transformed this linenfold writing bureau NINE years ago, when I was still working full time and upcycling on the side!

And yes, writing bureaux are still my absolute favourite thing to transform.❤️

Please get in touch if you have a boring old brown bureau and let's discuss updating it.
