Hi, I'm Michelle I specialise in refurbishing vintage furniture and bureaux, transforming forgotten furniture into beautiful bespoke pieces for your modern home. Amongst other techniques, I use paint, decoupage and gold leaf to create bespoke upcycled pieces with personality. Furniture can either be supplied by you or can be sourced by me. My passion is taking unloved items and giving them a new lease of life - creating iconic pieces that will stand the test of time and can be passed down through the generations. Every transformation is bespoke and no two pieces are the same - they are as unique as your imagination and all created with love, care and my trademark attention to detail. Shel's Shabby Chic is located in Stotfold SG5 on the Herts/Beds border, not too far from Hitchin. Want to paint your own furniture, but don't know where to start? I can teach you! I offer Furniture Painting for Beginners 1-to-1 Workshops where you'll learn step-by-step how to prep, paint and finish your furniture to a professional standard. You will go home bursting with knowledge, skills and enthusiasm! I've always had a passion for learning new skills and creating beautiful things (preferably at the same time). Over the years I've enjoyed pottery, calligraphy, jewellery making, glass blowing, upholstery, landscape acrylics and even spent a day in a blacksmith's forge, but when I found furniture painting, I just knew it was the one that ignited my fire! I also have a passion for creating totally unique tableware, made from wallpaper. Coasters, place mats and trays can be custom made to match your décor. Get in touch today to find out more.
