Shabby Chic – Need I say More?
Shabby Chic was founded by designer Rachel Ashwell in
1989. Her look is defined by the comfortable look of the
linens and slip covered furniture. Flea market finds
have also become a trademark of the Shabby Chic look.
Now there are more ways than ever to incorporate the
Shabby Chic look into your home.
Books
Starting with
Shabby Chic Rachel introduces readers to
the Shabby Chic look which emphasizes an eclectic type
of decorating intended to give readers a comfortable yet
stylish aura. The debut book was followed up by Rachel Ashwell’s
Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting and Decorating
Guide. You learn how Rachel shops and determines what
items work best for her look. The third book entitled
The Shabby Chic Home takes readers on a journey inside
her own home renovation. Her practical tips will help
readers decorate their own homes using the Shabby Chic
style.
The Shabby Chic: The Gift of Giving gives tips on
how to make creative gifts and cards using the Shabby
Chic style. The latest offering, Shabby Chic: Sumptuous
Settings and Other Lovely Things, shows how to bring
Shabby Chic style to parties and special occasions.
Celebrity occasions are also highlighted. Use the books
to guide you in your quest for the comfortable old-money
style Shabby Chic represents. Study, shop, sew and
refinish to style your home the Shabby Chic way.
Stores
Located in California, New York and Chicago, Shabby Chic
