A New
Business For Mersea!
Local Mersea “GIRLS” Sara
French and Ann Beament have had great success with their online shop and are
now bringing ShabbyAnd… to West Mersea.
ShabbyAnd… Offers Shabby Chic, vintage and retro furnishings
for the home with a mix of jewellery and hand made gifts using a combination of
up-cycled and new materials. Ann &
Sara’s ethos is to make this Chic style affordable to
all, so only price pieces according to the cost to them.
The Grand opening of
their high street shop in Barfield Road West Mersea is on Friday 6th
September from 5.30pm until 9.00pm and will flow into Saturday 7th
from 10am until 4.30pm. Sara & Ann
will be available to discuss their work and any commissions you may have.
To celebrate the opening
they will be serving that all-important glass of FIZZ and nibbles and as a thank you for
attending the opening they will also be offering 10% off all furniture and
commissions on the day and up until the 14th of September.
So what can you expect to find in this little gem: Ann & Sara’s love of up-cycling furnishings
for the home means that all pieces are totally individual and unique. They use
reclaimed materials which are carefully hand painted, waxed and distressed
and as with any pre- owned furniture there may be the odd blemish or bump that
you'd expect with age but this is part of the attraction and if like us you
love vintage pieces with character this is the place for you. There furniture
is complimented with hand made soft furnishings and a mix of home accessories
and jewellery.
For that shabby
Chic look they use Annie Sloan's chalk paint to give each piece more character
and that 'time worn' distressed look, these are then waxed to give a soft sheen
and seal in the beauty. The
retro look has smooth flowing lines and to compliment this they apply a smooth
finish using vibrant colours.
If you have your
own piece of beloved furniture that you can not part with but want to give it a
new lease of life. Ann and Sara will take commissions to give it the finish
that you are looking for. They are also happy to discuss your requirements,
source furnishings, materials, paint colours and finishes and put them together
to form a unique piece of furniture for your home.
Ann and Sara are
already looking to the future and hope to offer workshops in paint finishes to
help you achieve that Shabby look yourselves.
