A New Shabby Chic Business for West Mersea

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.
