Coming soon: Jen and Matt Newport opened Junk Chic Designs four years ago in Richmond, offering antique furnishings customized with “shabby chic” makeovers, using chalk- and milk-based paints to give worn furniture a fresh appeal, co-owner Ryan Evans said.

Ryan and Holly Evans partnered with the Newports and decided to move from being a warehouse-based business in the Richmond to a storefront in a large yellow house in Old Town Spring.

Junk Chic Designs plans an August opening at 201 Midway St., Spring.

Evans said the idea behind the shop is to recycle old material into something new and decorative.

“We buy vintage or antique solid wood products or we get them from Craigslist or rescue them from the trash and everything in between,” Evans said. “If they are beyond repair we cut them up and recycle that wood and turn it into something else.”

Evans said the store will sell paints, finishes, refinished antique furniture and will take customization orders. The owners also plan to work with vendors to stock organic soaps, clothing, candles and other boutique items.

The store plans to offer military and first-responder discounts, as both Ryan Evans and Matt Newport have worked in law enforcement.
