Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Inspirations & Beautiful Spaces by Rachel Ashwell

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.

The Shabby Chic aesthetic was created by Rachel Ashwell. She started the Shabby Chic home furnishing boutiques in 1989, followed by the Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture stores later that year. Amy NeuNsinger is a photographer whose work has appeared in several periodicals and advertising campaigns ranging from beauty to travel. She is the author of Shabby Chic, Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting and Decorating Guide, The Shabby Chic House, and Shabby Chic: The Gift of Giving.
