First of all, Chelsea Meissner has found the one! It appears that things with that hunky sailor she has been spending all of her time with, 32-year-old Volvo Ocean racer Nick Dana, has captured her heart. The former Survivor contestant and dare-devil is rumored to be engaged. I can’t blame her a bit. She certainly needs to lock this one down. They spent a lot of time on the ocean together in between Southern Charm filming seasons. Nick is a professional yacht racer from Rhode Island. They seem like a perfect match and I really hope the rumors are true because King Street is certainly talking about these two.
If spending months on the ocean racing boats with the hot guy of your dreams was not enough, Chelsea also has a new dream house.
Chelsea has been banking her Southern Charm checks and living off her hair salon money since coming on the show. Now she also has quite a few sponsorships on Instagram and I’m not talking about flat belly tea kind of crap. She has followed in the footsteps of Kenya Moore and had a lot of her high-end appliances and tiles sponsored in exchange for IG posts and other sites like me drooling over her designs.
I think we can all agree we covet that ocean tile in the kitchen and the $3,000 orange SMEG refrigerator and other SMEG appliances in her kitchen. Well done Chelsea.
Check out all the pics from the PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT here. Because the t he house professional photo shoot worthy because it is AMAZING. The photographer, who is amazing, is Jillian Guyette. Chelsea’s friend, Kimberly Spradlin Wolfe winner of Survivor One World (2012) was her interior designer. Chelsea met Kim when they were on Survivor together.
Here is an excerpt from the photographer’s site about her major renovation of the property.
I’m sure to some degree this was a learning experience for you both, having never worked together in this way. What was your favorite moment during the process?
Kim: This is a really easy question for me to answer. I think anyone who knows Chelsea knows that she has incredible taste. You can see it in the way she dresses and carries herself, it’s totally effortless. There were times throughout the process of the renovation where I felt like she really was doubting herself. It was like she wasn’t trusting that what she chose or picked out was going to look great… or wouldn’t be good enough. Then towards the end, as things were really coming together, I could see that she was almost surprised with how well her selections had turned out! It gave her a lot of confidence to see it become a reality. I think that’s a confidence she’ll carry in similar situations from now on.
Chelsea: My favorite moment was when Kim and her sister, Beth came to help with final touches for our photoshoot. There were so many “holy shit, we did this!” moments. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more empowered, not only by my new home, but by the women surrounding me.
So to recap, gorgeous man, spectacular house, happy disposition… the girl has it all. I wonder if we will see Kim on the season finishing up her house. She bought the house in April so it was probably finished by the time filming started. Fingers crossed that we will see Nick this season though. It would be great to see genuine relationship on the show. Frankly, I’ll be happy with just the house.
Love Chelsea. There’s nothing about her I don’t like. If she would have punched 🦖, 🦇💩, Shep and Austin, it would have been okay with me!
I love her too!!! She seems like a really nice person. It’s great when good people get good things 🙂
That tile is gorgeous. I would feel love to cook in that kitchen. Orange fridge is so unexpected, and the size is unique, too. Her entire house looks beautiful, bright, not overdone. Good for her.
I guess Austen won’t be drooling about her this season. Good for her!!
Chelsea is quite the catch and way too good for those Southern Charm buffoons.
Your photo shoot is beautiful. So glad you held out for your special “person”. Sorry; Southern Charms boys; Chelsie is out of your leagues. May all your dreams come true
…..Good luck with your first Thanksgiving tradition.
The women of Southern Charm have brains and a good work ethic. The men should take notes.
What I like about Chelsea is that it seems she found “the one” a while ago – herself! Watching the show I’ve always thought that Chelsea knows who she is and loves herself. She also seems like one of those women you meet and think “wow, she’s gorgeous” and then as you get to know she becomes even more beautiful.
Snail said, “What I like about Chelsea is that it seems she found “the one” a while ago – herself!”
I love that statement! Perfectly said!
Ditto!
Double ditto. Finding yourself takes years but Miss Chelsea is an inspiration to us all.
I love chelsea ! Her and Kathryn are my favorite . They have unique styles . And Chelsea is the right amount of tomboy but still has a very feminine side . So happy for her ! She insipired me to get a longboard with her fun instagram videos and my husband got one too! It’s been a fun activity for us to do together .
Austin and She never deserved her.
Well done, Chelsea!
I love her. She is my girl crush. Her style is awesome and her house definitely falls into her aesthetic.
I love Chelsea, too. She’s a genuine person whom radiates confidence.
Love the pics of her house, but NEED to see TYSON, her doggy, in the pics,
to really appreciate that it’s Chelsea’s home.
I’m so happy Chelsea has this great guy in her life.
She deserves every happiness in life.
Can’t wait for next Season of Southern Charm.
It’s my favorite show.
I went to Chelsea’s Instagram and saw pics of Tyson in his new house.
I am content now.
Ah shep,shep, shep. Dumb ass. Ah austen, austen, austen. Dumb ass. . Good for her, they thought they were great catchers. Love me some shep, but he’ll never grow up
Good for Chelsea! One of my girlfriends is married to a professional sailor and they make serious bank. She has a gorgeous home here in Fort Lauderdale and a gorgeous one in Newport RI. It has also paid for private schools for her kids from elementary through college.
Everything.About.This.Chick. What’s not to love? Beautiful, kind, sweet, strong and that house! I’ve always wanted Smeg appliances but can’t afford them. Orange? Pretty much my favorite design color.
I’m so happy for her because she genuinely appears to be a very nice person. I follow her on IG and she lives a very charmed life of her own making. Such beauty. I bet she never does any Botox or any of the other shit I hate but secretly wish I could do.
I hope true too!! Love her- she seems like one of the good ones !! Yes- I had to look up that orange fridge too!!! GOALS!!
I am genuinely so happy for her. Smart enough to stay out of relationships that were obviously not going to do anything but hurt. Found her strength on her own and ran with it. I think she is awesome and more importantly the kind of women these shows should be about. She is strong without being a mean person, she is forceful without being belligerent, a good friend and loyal.
I hope this is her dream come true. Be Blessed Chelsea and Fly High.
What wonderful news for a wonderful woman!
I love Chelsea and it makes me so happy that she’s doing well and she’s in love! Her house is gorgeous! I love everything about it.
Chelsea and Cameron are from beautiful SC and definitely two of the finest looking women on the planet. Both have some exceptional genes in those jeans ! Knew Chelsea would find a serious relationship with someone worthy of her that was not part of all that fake Charleston drama. Kudos to her !
really kinda love the way Cameran and Chelsea have managed their lives. They are not from SC’s upper crust but have built a better life than others with a pedigreed name. Really impressed.
Wow, wow, wow! I am so impressed! I don’t even care about home improvement stuff at all, but this is gorgeous.
Another person on the Chelsea love train! Her home is gorgeous!! Perfect coastal laid back style. She is one of the good ones.
I hope living in her beautiful new home and the sense of accomplishment she must feel from buying it go a long way to healing some of the heartache we saw when she stopped by her old family home last season.
The orange refrigerator and cerulean tile are EVERYTHING. I love the Moroccan rug but I don’t care for the smaller rugs in the plant shelf room. Looks like someone could trip. So touched to see Tyson’s leash in the entry.
Now this is what I like to hear!! Love this girl! 👏🏼👏🏼
I have such a girl crush on Miss Chelsea😍. She just seems so lovely and genuine. She deserves all of the love and blessings coming her way. Go girl💗💗
Smart woman- not being desperate to do anything to continue get the Bravo bread because she makes her own dough.. What is southern charm cast members making a season over $400K? Any updates on what’s the drama storyline this year in southern charm?
I love Chelsea and she deserves all the good things she has. She is a hard worker and a kind person. It’s nice to see the nice girl win.
Hmmm, this is a stretch. A couple of weeks ago there was a ginormous sail boat in the marina. I remarked to a friend, it must be a serious professional sailboat because the mast was so tall, it would only be useful to race. Could it be his? I will never know.
The whole cast including, Chelsea, Thomas and Ashley are gauche!
Slow down on the crack, there Abby. One of those things doesn’t belong.
Damnit Tamara! You made me expell goldfish crackers through my nostrils!
Chill! Telling some to slow down on the crack, not that funny. Be more original. I added Chelsea, because she’s a game player with men.
I can tell we are going to have to go slowly with you.
Hahahaha, your life…apparently is fulfilled by writing about reality shows. Nothing wrong with that. I only know about this crap because my daughter is in college and watches BS crap and I will watch with her. I about lost my mind when someone named Jax was asked what country Nelson Mandela was from and he said Africa..Africa is not a county…My life is not consumed by petty insignificant nonsense.
Hey Abby, did you hear about the duck with a drug problem? He was a quackhead.
* insert rimshot sound followed by cricket sounds*
Haha your so funny
Just trying to lighten the mood 😁
Ps. I know your response was sarcastic but I’m choosing to take it nicely 😂😂
Bully much?
Please, this is me being nice. It’s Christmas! Otherwise I’d just point out that you are a stupid cunt that has no idea what she is talking about.
You caught me. 😑🙄
Perhaps a more bird-brained explanation is is order. We’ll work our way up from there on why Chelsea is not like the accused sexual abuser and his cohort in abuse.
Perhaps you should read the comments..I said the WHOLE cast INCLUDING Chelsea, because this article is about her and Ashley and Thomas because that are no longer are all gauche! Thae fact that I I have a different opinion than you and the fact that your being vile and the fact the you’re bulling me elementary school style is embarrassing!!! Grow up!!
So we all agree that your comment is embarrassing and wrong? Perfect! Now I will seat in the WLS.
