Any time 192 How I would love to trade places with Rachel Ashwell This beautiful book showcases her unique bed and breafast called The Prairie located in Texas Rachel Ashwell is the businesswoman who founded the brand known as Shabby Chic Her bed and breakfast take shabby chic in a slightly different direction adding a western flair In this book she gives the reader a tour of the buildings that comprise The Prairie and narrates the style in which the rooms are decorated It is all so lovely Grab this book and a cup of tea and spend a blissful afternoon 192 Too contrived for me 192

Laugh out loaud funny for me I read at one lunch and was taken with the smug pompous diction of the author Do you know she painted the walls in her signature white 192 Loved it Texas prairie style mixed with Shabby Chic A wonderful view of Rachel s BB in Roundtop Texas 192 Loved this book loved this style Beautiful inspiring photographs 192 This book had a very specific design style Not my style but I could appreciate the author s dedication to her own 192 This is a really sweet book If you like the shabby chic look then this is the book for you 192 Think Marie Antoinette in jeans and a cowboy hat that is Rachel Ashwell s prairie style Rachel Ashwell Couture Prairie takes her signature pastels ruffles and whimsical prettiness right to the heart of cowboy country This is a journey in pictures and words following Rachel through the fields of a little town called Round Top home to one of the largest most eclectic and vibrant antiques and flea markets in the world and then back to Rachel s newly acquired bed and breakfast in Texas Here Rachel s inspired finds her creative imagination eye for detail and her commitment to beauty comfort and function have finally come together in one The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell an irresistible destination This book takes Rachel in a new direction bringing her eye for cherished patinas and pastel prettiness into the endless landscapes and diverse architectural styles of Texas Here you will see how her style adapts to corrugated metal sheeting and weathered timbers and how it brings new life to elegant period mansions Chapter by chapter the book leads you through Rachel s little houses on the prairie from the Ranger s Lounge where hearty breakfasts are served to the Pearl Barn scene of wedding parties and celebrations stopping off at the evocatively named guest Blue Bonnet Barn Cornflower Cottage Meadow Manor Faith Cottage and Liliput Lodge Rachel Ashwell Couture Prairie and flea market treasuresI like seeing how Rachel Ashwell uses her flea market finds to decorate with her signature style 192 Meh A bit of a disappointment Rachel Ashwell s style concept is wonderful but applied in rather rote and repetitive fashion distressed furniture and voluptuous duvets and other linens draped over a series of flea market pieces Looks neither functional nor authentic but rather sterile and staged 192 As expected beautiful photographs of lots of enviable pieces from dishes and vases to big overstuffed duvets and ruffly pillows to sparkly chandeliers and loads of loads of floppy pastel roses The Texas flair is interesting not sure it s my favorite incarnation of her esthetic but I can t deny that it s gorgeous Definitely lots of inspiration to be found here regardless I d happily visit The Prairie and stay in any of the rooms pictured.
