Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic: Inspiration & Beautiful Spaces

Author(s): Rachel Ashwell

Coffee Table

In this book, Rachel shares her inspirations and her humor, celebrates the charm of the old and battered, and demonstrates time and again how interiors touched with Rachel's magic transcend fashionable trends, extending a calming, personal welcome to all. In this new book, Rachel takes us to homes in the US--from a shabby shack on Malibu's oceanfront to her new ranch on the wide, open spaces of Texas and to the wooded hills of the Catskills--and in the UK--from a houseboat and a city townhouse to a centuries-old manor house deep in the country, and Rachel's own London apartment. All the houses, regardless of their size or location, embody Rachel's ethos and share the same qualities: a respect for beautiful objects from the past, an extravagant sense of comfort, and an eye for the unexpected. All are inviting, artistic, soulful, inspired and inspiring, beautiful, gentle, considered and, in their own way, perfectly imperfect.
