Shabby Chic Interiors
If anyone knows how to find beauty, comfort and function in imperfect things it’s Rachel Ashwell. She’s transformed her sumptuous Los Angeles home into her “‘Everything I need’ house” with the treasures and trinkets of days gone by: mismatched furniture, Victorian lace curtains, regal wallpaper and, of course, luxurious chandeliers. In Shabby Chic Interiors, her first book in five years, she takes you inside her “home for all reasons,” and more of her favorite California homes to show you how she uses beloved flea market finds and whimsically pretty details to create inviting, relaxed living spaces.
From a light and airy family home with a mix of modern and vintage that “demonstrates that opposites can live pleasurably together” to the simple, beautifully crafted Spanish hacienda Marilyn Monroe once called home, these homes are as eclectic as their owners, but they all reflect Rachel’s design philosophy with bathrooms that set the stage for the “most glamorous of bathing and pampering experiences,” dining rooms where “Marie Antoinette meets Southern California,” and all of the other cherished items and unique details that give a home character and heart. Color photos.

I ordered the "Shabby Chic Interiors book," and was not sure if I would find anything new, since I have all of Rachel Ashwell's books so far. It did not disappoint; I especially liked the narrative regarding her mother, and the memories that her inherited 'treasures' invoked. In addition, the pictures were lovely, and the larger format showed details beautifully.

Inspiring, as always

I love Rachel Ashwell and her design asthetic, so for me, she can do no wrong. This is a beautiful book with, as I said, inspiring text and beautiful pictures.

The reviews stating disappointment almost had me return the book before viewing it. I am so happy that I did not listen to the negatives. As a whole, this book is a constant reference for me in my own business. I deal with alot of unsightly furniture that I bring back to life with the same loveliness and elegance that Rachel invisions in her pieces. What a blessing and breath of fresh air this book is. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.

I was really looking for more out of this book, it fell short. I'm glad I got it on sale and not full price.
