Shabby Shabby...

What's your favorite take on Shabby Chic?!  
I have always been a fan of this particular style - minus the heavy foofy fabrics.
Shabby reminds me of beautiful old European/American shaker homes, filled with beautiful reclaimed items with history.  I love the funny side table built by a humble farmer, or the old patina light fixture hanging in the entry way.  I love the find - the one-of-a-kind item you only see once!  
In the 1980's Great Britain inspired this design, from their old country houses full of shaded items.  Travel into Sweden and France, you get the same ideas only with different shades/hues of color.
Once you find that special one-of-a-kind piece, they become heirlooms forever!

The queen of it all Rachel Ashwell has brought beautiful insights through her amazing books and stores! She is the perfect example of someone who design's from their heart to create timeless, luxurious beauty!
So if you're wanting this particular design, her books are the perfect inspiration!

A Charming California Home!

I came across this perfect California home designed by Nancy Fishelson.  I absolutely love her inventive, creative style; there is so much texture and contrast to every room.   This is a home I would never want to leave!!
