Chic How-To Thanksgiving Table Decor
Shabby Chic?
Does anyone know of any online stores that sell shabby chic decor other than Shabbychic.com and target?
Ballard Designs has lots of shabby chic in their catalogs. You can find them on line too. I love their catalogs and so will you. Good luck
Your display and presentation of Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic decor speaks volumes of your artistic talent. The background of your site reminds me of my grandmother’s bedroom with her one wall of soft flowered-print wallpaper and the rest of the walls a natural-like linen textured paper. Oh the loving memories…Thanks much,Hera
The book is just like her blog and store – full of great ideas!! AJ and Michael simply amaze me with their creativity. They take things that most people would throw away, and with a simple coat of paint, maybe an alteration here or there, a little ingenuity, (and some sandpaper) they create an updated new treasure for your home. In this day of “going green” they are the ultimate example for all of us to follow.
If you are into primitive, cottage or shabby chic decorating, this book will be an inspiration to you. If you are a shop-owner like I am, it will be even more. AJ is not shy about sharing display ideas, I have no doubt that you will get enough ideas to pay for the book many times over.
Anyone who is a crafter or do-it-yourselfer will appreciate the many pictures and simple tips she shares. I'm sure that you will be looking at something AJ has refurbished and realize that you have something laying around the house or shop that you can do in a similar manner. Think of the money you could save by refurbishing old junk you have laying around, or that you can find cheap at yard sales or flea markets! Save money and save the landfills, a win-win situation!
Even if you are a regular reader of her blog, you will appreciate being able to see all of these pictures in one place. There have been many times that I have thought of something that I had seen on the blog in the past, and wanted to see again. I would spend a good bit of time searching. Now, with this book, it will be much quicker. There are some pictures in the book that she has featured on the blog, but there are also many that are new to the book. You also will have access to some of her other photo albums, which again is very convenient. Be sure to check out the album on decorating a Christmas tree. Her simple, step by step instructions will give you many ideas for your own tree.
I really do think that this book will be a help to you whether you are an accomplished crafter, or even if you are a bit challenged in that department! I would also encourage you to buy some of her other ebooks. I have bought some in the past, and plan to buy more. AJ is very generous on her blog with free tips, and offers even more tips for a very reasonable price in her other books. They are very easy to understand, with helpful pictures.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In the case of this book, the pictures are worth a thousand ideas!!
I just wish I lived close enough to visit her shop!!
Hello Rachel!!! I love it when I find a person with my same name, and spelled the same also! Welcome, and please come back!
I found this picture from Rachel Ashwell. Luckily you might actually be able to purchase it! Rachel Ashwell designs bedding and cute shabby chic decor for Target. She also has other collections, like a couture collection she features in a boutique in NYC. So check around, you might be able to find something you like off her internet site as well. Everything she has to offer is so adorable. I actually own a few of her pieces, and of course, they're fabulous!
Thanks for the compliments Rachel, and please stop by again soon, you're always welcome!
