Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Inspirations

About this book

Welcome to Rachel Ashwells world: as beautiful as it is comfortable as inspiring and spontaneous as it is practical and personal. 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 Rachels magic transcend fashionable trends extending a calming personal welcome to all. In this new book Rachel takes us to homes in the USfrom a shabby shack on Malibus oceanfront to her new ranch on the wide open spaces of Texas and to the wooded hills of the Catskillsand in the UKfrom a houseboat and a city townhouse to a centuries-old manor house deep in the country and Rachels own London apartment. All the houses regardless of their size or location embody Rachels 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.
