Author: Rachel Ashwell

Condition: New

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 US-from a shabby shack on Malibus 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 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.
