It helps the healthiness both of body and soul to live among
beautiful things. —William Morris, 1882 Shabby Chic—the
rich, practical, and time-worn style created by one of the
world's top designers, Rachel Ashwell, mixes new and gently
used items to create original, refined designs. In Rachel
Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting & Decorating Guide,
Rachel takes you on a tour of flea markets and secondhand
shops to give you a behind-the-scenes look at her process
for finding vintage treasures—materials, furniture, and
decorations—so that you can design a Shabby Chic home. As
Rachel reveals, the Shabby Chic principles—comfort,
function, and beauty—mixed with a dash of imagination and
courage, and an understanding of how to spot a fabulous buy,
will allow you to create a home that is beautiful,
comfortable, and inviting. A place where children's dinners
are served on mix-and-match antique plates at a table
covered with lace from a renovated curtain set. A space
where fresh flowers stand in antique jugs, complementing
furniture covered in soft white denim. This gorgeous volume
will teach you how to recognize beauty in often overlooked
places. The photographs and step-by-step guidance featured
inside make it easy, fun, and affordable to create the kind
of breathtaking, practical home you've always dreamed of.
