<b>Rachel Ashwell is the creator of Shabby Chic: a peaceful yet practical way of living that embraces a respect for the things we hold dear and puts them at the heart of our homes.</b> <br/><br/>Romantic florals against pure white linen, ruffled muslin skirting a bed base and brushing bleached floorboards, the deep comfort of a nest of fluffy towels: this is Rachel Ashwell's signature style. <i>Shabby Chic Interiors</i>, an eclectic book of quirky inspiration, is divided into chapters according to location, beginning with Rachel's Los Angeles home.
