WM Boutique

WM Boutique UAE Distributor and retailer (www.whenshabbymeetschic.com) for Frenchic Paint®. The reason for this phenomenal success lies in the uniqueness of the paint.

When Shabby Meets Chic (Ruby & Sons) is the Exclusive UAE Distributor and retailer for Frenchic® Furniture Paint, a chalk and mineral paint, which is based in the UK and although only 5 years old, has surpassed every other brand in Europe, becoming the recommended paint of the Queen of England, after having won the Queen’s Award for Innovation in 2020. It isn't like any other paint you have ever

used. In addition to regular chalk/mineral paint we offer a paint with the wax already in it called Lazy Range. We have a range called Al Fresco which is an outdoor and indoor chalk paint that needs no top coat sealer. It is completely organic, free of VOC's and meets the strict European standards for pet and child safety. If you are interested in knowing more, purchasing the product (www.whenshabbymeetschic.com) or would like to inquire about becoming a part of our journey, please PM this page or contact Muby Astruc on +971-50-6328176 and let's get started!

You won’t believe these aren’t tiles either! image001.pngReplacing old flooring can be expensive. If you’re looking to revamp your lacklustre laminate or wearisome wooden floor, update them on a budget with floor stencils and Frenchic Paint, available exclusively at our Motorcity boutique! image002.png. Frenchic fan Tara Travis gave her hallway a more welcoming and open space using Frenchic Paint’s duck-egg blue with a greyish hue shade, Duckling; the brightest most dazzling white shade, Dazzle Me; and light grey shade, City Slicker, all from the self priming and self sealing Frenchic Al Fresco Inside/ Outside Range to transform her floor from drab to fab! Tara then used a mix of the 3 shades on the panelling and bannister, as well as Duckling on the front door to tie everything together – talk about a freshen up! Who’s a fan?

image003.png We recommend a test patch using Al Fresco Inside/Outside or Chalk Wall Paint Range before embarking on the whole floor to ensure it’s suitable for painting. Once painting is completed, do not walk on the area for 4 hours and then with socks for 7 days (do not get the area wet in this time) – try to keep pet paw claws off as well to avoid damaging the finish. Continue to treat with a little TLC for up to 3 weeks, until it is fully cured/hardened.

This is your SIGN to go bold in your kitchen! image007.png There’s a misconception that if you want a light and airy kitchen that feels spacious, you can’t embrace more moody, dramatic hues. You can – all you need is balance!
Frenchic fan Laura Williams achieved exactly that after transforming her classic cream kitchen into a more charming, modern and stylish hub of the home. image008.png Opting for Frenchic Paint’s velvety dark blue with distinctive teal tones shade ‘After Midnight’ on the cupboards and teaming it with Frenchic’s brightest, most dazzling white shade ‘Dazzle Me!’ on the wall tiles.
So, will you be adding a splash of the bold to your kitchen this A/W?

Did you know that Frenchic’s Al Fresco range works just as well on kitchen tiles, as it does on kitchen cabinets. Oh, and it’s eco-friendly too.

If, like most people, you want your bedroom to feel like a calming, safe sanctuary where you can take a breather, unwind from your day and recharge for the next then go moss green! 💚🌿 Considered as the most restful colour, green has a calming effect and is believed to also help relieve people from stress. 🙌 Frenchic fan Caroline Abigail Smith recently used zesty, jewel-like green shade ‘Constance Moss’ from the self priming and self sealing Al Fresco Inside/ Outside (Limited Edition) Range to transform her built-ins from boring to botanical. Teaming it tropical print wallpaper and contrasting clean white hues for a fresher feel.
Who’s a fan of 'Constance Moss' shade? Have you used it inside or outside your home?

This is your SIGN to give your worn and weathered furniture a fresh new vibrant look and just in time for the outdoor season! 😍 Because who doesn’t want a splash of colour that lasts all year round? Take centre stage with bold, bright and block colours to create a statement and add a fun focus in the garden. 💙💗 Sue Paines did just that using Frenchic Paint’s jewel-like teal blue shade ‘Steel Teal’ and contrasting but complimenting vibrant, Limited Edition raspberry pink shade ‘Raspberry Punch’ (from the self priming and self sealing Al Fresco Inside/ Outside Range) to transform this bench from worn to wow-worthy!

It might look a mess right now; but some of our most beautiful stories have messy beginnings. This is mine.
Along with the opening of our new shop in First Avenue Mall, MotorCity Dubai, we’re also going to be going through a change of name and branding. It’s a natural progression as my entire journey in the world of painting and entrepreneurship has been. As the years have passed, trends have evolved. Home makeovers have taken in a new approach. Styles have changed. And our little Shabby Chic needed to evolve and grow too. So, here we are, thrilled to introduce you to our new name: WM BOUTIQUE.
Next week we’ll open our doors and paint, play, laugh and create with you all over again. Stay tuned for announcements. And in the meantime, I can promise you that the only changes you will find are us growing bigger, better and more able to satisfy your needs and asks. Our name change is proof that we’re growing up too; along with you.

Frenchic Paint’s Al Fresco range to the rescue! 🌟 It’s amazing the impact a lick of paint can have on transforming any room in your home, even the bathroom! This modern bathroom makeover from Frenchic fan Hayley Passell is certainly proof of that. 🖤 Hayley used 3 shades of Frenchic to help transform her bathroom from drab to fab. Opting for our brightest, most dazzling white shade ‘Dazzle Me!’ on the ceramic wall tiles along with our true black shade ‘Blackjack’ to create a feature wall. Using the same shade to give the bath panel and sink unit a face lift before finishing fabulously with some pops of green from our racing green shade ‘Victory Lane’ on the frames, bath caddy and storage box for a totally trendy transformation.

ℹ️ Both the Frenchic Al Fresco and Chalk Wall Paint range can be used on interior ceramic wall tiles. Areas of high humidity and standing water however, should be avoided, for example in an enclosed shower cubicle. Frenchic Paint UAE is sold exclusively by us, at WM Boutique.

If this didn't stop you scrolling, we don't know what will! 🌟 Frenchic fan Melody Schofield recently transformed an old retro trolley into an art deco delight using MDF and Frenchic’s show-stopping velvety dark blue with distinctive teal tones shade ‘After Midnight’ from the Al Fresco Inside/ Outside Range on the exterior. Teaming it with a complimenting coral-orange shade on the interior using a mix of Frenchic’s cheery and winsome orange shade ‘McFee’ and vibrant, raspberry pink shade ‘Raspberry Punch’ from the Limited Edition Al Fresco Range.

Looking to give your outdated kitchen a facelift? Embrace versatile greens for a fresher cooking space. Associated with nature and symbolising balance and harmony, green can be a refreshing, calming and invigorating colour, making it the perfect choice for the busiest hub of the home. Frenchic forum fans Gethin and Jack added a little country to their kitchen and transformed it from frumpy to Frenchic country fresh using Frenchic’s timeless sage green shade 'Wise Old Sage' paired with the brightest, most dazzling white shade 'Dazzle Me!', both from the self priming and self sealing Al Fresco Inside/ Outside Range.

​ The most popular ranges used for kitchen cupboards of all kinds, including wood and laminate, are Al Fresco and Lazy Range! However, you might like to consider Chalk Wall Paint too if you’re looking for a more sturdy finish.

Sophisticated, playful and whimsical. Pink is a versatile shade that can bring warmth and intimacy to a nursery. 💗 Frenchic fan Jessica Fenech Adami used Frenchic’s soft and muted pink shade 'Dusky Blush' (from the self priming and self sealing Al Fresco Inside/Outside Range) to inject some colour into her nursery and give it a softer, more cocooning feel.

ℹ️ When painting BARE MDF we recommend using 3 layers of Finishing Coat prior to painting to stop the paint from being absorbed into the MDF. We don't recommend sugar soaping or sanding MDF as this can cause furring.
