What if the piece your grandmother left you didn't have to stay what it is?

At Shabby Remakes, we see the potential hiding beneath worn finish and tired design. Every scratched dresser, every forgotten chair carries a story — and we help you rewrite the next chapter.

What We Do

Every finish tells
a different story

From a single chair to an entire room, we transform ordinary pieces into objects you'll actually want to show off.

Furniture Refinishing

Strip, sand, and renew. We strip away decades of wear to reveal the grain beneath, then apply finishes that protect and elevate — from glossy modern to soft matte vintage.

Upcycling & Transformation

That thrift-store find? We see a statement piece. We reimagine the impossible — turning discarded furniture into functional art that fits your space and your style.

Custom Paint & Color

Plum, amber, chalk, milk — or whatever you dream up. We mix, test, and apply custom colors that match your vision, using premium paints built to last.

Home Decor & Accents

Frames, mirrors, shelving, and decorative objects — if it sits in your home, we can remake it. Small pieces get the same care as the big furniture.

Hardware & Detail Upgrades

The right knob, hinge, or pull can change everything. We source and install hardware that complements the finish and elevates the entire piece.

Distressed & Antiqued Finishes

Want the look of a hundred years without the century of wear? Our hand-distressing techniques create authentic patina — character you can't fake with a filter.

Our Story

We don't just repaint.
We reimagine.

Shabby Remakes was born from a simple belief: nothing with good bones should end up in a landfill. What started as a passion for rescuing discarded furniture grew into a full-service refinishing studio right here in Oneida.

Every piece that comes through our doors gets treated with the same care — whether it's a hand-me-down dresser or a thrift-store chair waiting for its moment. We combine traditional techniques with bold, contemporary color choices to create pieces that feel both timeless and fresh.

01
Quality First

No shortcuts. Every surface is prepped, sealed, and finished properly.

02
Locally Rooted

Proudly based in Oneida, serving East Tennessee with care and craftsmanship.

03
Uniquely Yours

No two projects are identical. Your piece will be one of a kind.

How It Works

From tired to
extraordinary

01

Tell Us About Your Piece

Reach out by phone or email. Describe what you have, what you love about it, and what you'd like it to become. Photos help us understand the project.

02

We Assess & Propose

We evaluate the piece, discuss finish options and color palettes, and provide a clear estimate. No surprises — just an honest plan for your project.

03

The Remake Happens

Stripping, sanding, prepping, painting, distressing — whatever your piece needs. We work at the pace quality demands, not the pace convenience suggests.

04

Pick Up & Enjoy

Your transformed piece is ready. Come by the shop in Oneida to see the finished result — and start imagining what else could be remade.

Shabby Remakes took my grandmother's worn-out vanity and turned it into the centerpiece of my bedroom. I cried when I saw it — not because of the old finish, but because the new one felt like it was always meant to look that way.
