Shabby to Chic Edinburgh

Shabby to Chic Edinburgh Hand painted vintage and modern furniture - love again in your home. I also offer a furniture painting service.

Shabby to Chic Edinburgh is a small enterprise based around renovating old and unloved furniture into something beautiful again. I love the French Shabby Chic style, as well as using fresh colour and finishes to modernise home decor pieces. I have painted and up cycled furniture for my home over the years, and get great pleasure in turning quality Vintage furniture into something that can be loved

again. If you have a tired old piece of furniture that needs a makeover please contact me for a no-obligation quote.

Hello again… not regularly posting here, but some folk might be interesed in this one that has just become available. Used as an occasional table for an office space - but equally a great wee hall table?
The original oak leg base was given an industrial edge with the boards - whitewashed and sealed with heavy duty varnish. Legs painted Aubusson Blue, a rich blue/green hue. Waxed for a subtle sheen. £80 for a quick sale. Please DM if interested.
Measures: 59x79x76cm(height).

Thanks, Ann-Marie X

NOW SOLD
It’s been a while, but given I’m shifting from furniture to study at Uni this year (yikes), there are a few pieces I’m looking to advertise in the hope I can claim back workshop space for future studies. Here’s a lovely solid mahogany console table with a hidden drawer. Well made vintage piece, painted in soft grey to the base, and a natural wax varnish on top to show the lovely grain.
Measures 89x37x78cm(height)
I was tempted to repaint to a darker green, but priced to sell quickly. £90 Thanks for looking ! Ann-Marie X

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted… but I’ve taken time to focus on essentials including health, home and new loves (of the artistic direction🤣). Maybe share more on that later!
Having just renovated this Nathan hifi unit for my husband’s album collection, I wanted to share what can be done with the right tools, care and patience. Really chuffed with the top that was really badly marked. It’s come up a beauty!

Selling this solid oak writing bureau. Regrettably I’m not able to restore as this frozen shoulder is lingering waaay too long, but happy to offer up this beauty so someone else might enjoy its charm.
House renovations are forcing me to be ruthless, otherwise I’d happily store her for a future re-vamp. Please do get intouch if your interested… selling on Facebook Marketplace to widen the reach.

This big beauty is now available. Must admit, it took a lot of love to get it to this… you’ll see a couple of early shots of it here. Now available, but the big question, with it without the original upstand on top? Let me know what you prefer. Mcintosh

Who said ‘furniture flipping’ was a nice wee hobby, and an easy money spinner!
This piece was saved from a trip to landfill, but had layers of cracked, chipped varnish - the result of a slap-dash job. I’ve lost count on the number of hours I’ve spent stripping back, but now working to secure a wobbly leg. Once cleaned of all glue and varnish, and suitable fittings added, it will be as good as new.

All this prep is essential to get a really good finish - and I’m excited about how it’s going to look.

A year ago…

Wednesday evenings are a funny time for me… usually a later finish from work, with excited anticipation of a project or two to keep me busy through to the weekend. With more work needed on a Macintosh sideboard, and a bit of outdoor painting to be finished before it just gets too cold in the garden, it makes a nice change from the desk job… and I might actually manage to get my 10,000 steps in!
