Shabby Chic Interiors. My Rooms, Treasures, and Trinkets

Step inside Rachel Ashwell`s beautiful world of shabby chic interiors and be guided through stunningly beautiful homes that are bursting with design ideas and sumptuous details. Divided into six locations, Shabby Chic Interiors showcases the many ways that shabby chic design can be applied to different spaces and locations with gorgeous results. The first chapter, My Home, explores all of the little details and colour palettes that make Rachel`s house her home. By combining grand items, such as crystal chandeliers and aged lace, Rachel has transformed her space into a calming, romantic and imaginative retreat. The next chapter, Hilltop Living, follows a different tact, and explores a colour-scheme of off-whites, creating a wonderful light and airy space while the Malibu chapter invites you on a tour of Rachel`s beach cottage, which is filled with beautiful shells and flowers. Then, Rachel will take you through Celebrity Homes, where you`ll visit a gorgeous Spanish hacienda that was once lived in by Marilyn Monroe, and the stylish New York apartment that was lived in by fashion designer Betsey Johnson. The chapter entitled Dogs, Art, and Literature demonstrates how the shabby chic ethos can be adapted to suit tastes for brighter colours, patterned fabrics and large numbers of books! Behind the Scenes, delves into Rachel`s passion for plush fabrics and vintage clothing, before ending with a chapter that explains how to mix and match elements to create your own perfectly imperfect shabby chic paradise.
