Hi, I'm Chelsea. Artist and owner of Montero Manor.
My favorite subject in school was art. Pencils, crayons, and magic markers were always in my hand. I loved drawing anything and everything. I was the kid in class that doodled cartoons and other oddities on my notebooks. My childhood dream was to become a Disney cartoonist.
Born and raised in Maryland, my family lived on the outskirts of Northeast Baltimore. My Mom envisioned transforming our turn-of-the-century home into a piece of history, and her love of old houses with their history wore off on me.
I followed my passion and became an art major. Here my appreciation for art and history turned into an obsession. This obsession: I appreciate things of yesterday. I welcome ideas of turning something worn into a newfound gem. And I love putting those two things together to think outside the box creating a one-of-a-kind conversation piece.
With that, Montero Manor was created. Drawing inspiration from anywhere and anything, I offer handcrafted compositions to make a statement. My pieces are carefully curated and restored, providing clients with an upscale experience featuring unique finishes and one-of-a-kind designs.
Montero Manor by Chelsea is about a love for yesterday's furniture while connecting to a time passed but not forgotten. Here timeworn antiques into forever treasures.
