  ローラアシュレイやキャスキッドソンなどが好きなのでこの本はまさにツボでした。英文ですが写真も多いので十分楽しめます。新築の内装の相談の際、実際に本を持って行き担当にイメージを伝えたりして使用しました。本自体は大きく重いですが、家が建ってからも本そのものをインテリアとして飾るのも楽しみです。中古でしたが、想像よりずっと状態がよく新品のようでした。

  Ive been a Shabby Chic fan since the beginning and I happily often had the opportunity to go to Rachel Ashwells Santa Monica store. Even when it was closed, the window was still interesting to look at.Anyway, I was so much curious of this book that I couldnt wait to read it and I read it too quickly !I would say it is a little different from the other ones, eclectic, industrial style but still Shabby and Chic, Bohemian too, artistic. It is also nostalgic than the first ones, probably because of the circumstances while this book has been written.The junk and hodgepodge sides come certainly from the fact her kids are adults now, still students and she obviously is influenced by their tastes, something quite normal after all.Our period is also different from the 80s, Rachel cant forever stick to the same stuff again and again.But it remains her style, still coherent. Her explanations are very clear, it is very easy to understand how her creation process works, which are her motivations, what kind of trend has an influence on her.But at the end, it is Shabby Chic Rachel Ashwell.In this book, I loved her homes, in L.A. and Malibu but was a little less interested in Marylin Monroes home and her other friends houses which are not exactly of the same style, a little less defined and messier.And it is true that the rooms on the pictures didnt look quite finished, I dont know why, less details, naked truth maybe.Anyway, actually I was interested in what she was saying in her book, than the photos themselves. Because I like to understand what there is behind peoples minds, rather than what they want to show.If you are a Shabby Chic fan and want to spend a few hours in Rachel Ashwells world, that is the book for you, a must in that case. If you just like beauty, that is still a book for you.But if you are researching for something completely mad, new, very modern or bizarre bazaar, I am afraid it is not that kind enough. Just pass your way, and come back when you search for something cozy, comfy and chic.My only problem with this book : I had not enough to read. I need to know . I need another whole book like this. The least I can say : Ive not been bored while reading it !

  Cest elle, Rachel Ashwell, qui a lancé ce style. Cest un style de décoration qui mêle le vintage, lélégance, le romantique mais aussi le mobilier abîmé, dans son jus, le petit bazar bohème fleuri, des compositions dépareillées, audacieuses et poétiques etc. Comme chaque fois dans le domaine de la déco, lorsquil sagit de faire découvrir lessence même dun style, rien ne vaut le visuel ! Ici, les photos sont magnifiques, très justes pour percer le mystère des intérieurs privés, lélégance du désordre, la poésie du détail, la signature du style dans les tissus, la palette de couleurs douces.Pour le faire aimer, il faut se laisser embarquer, sans préjugé dans cet univers de pampilles et vieilles dentelles usées, de boiseries blanchies ou écaillées etc. Ce livre forcément est une magnifique illustration du style shabby. On aime ou on naime pas, ça cest autre chose! mais louvrage tient parfaitement sa promesse ! Un joli cadeau à offrir aux adeptes!
