Even when it was closed, the window was still interesting to look at.Anyway, I was so much curious of this book that I couldn't wait to read it and I read it too quickly !I would say it is a little different from the other ones, more eclectic, more "industrial style" but still Shabby and Chic, more Bohemian too, more "artistic". It is also more nostalgic than the first ones, probably because of the circumstances while this book has been written.The more "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 80's, Rachel can't 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 Monroe's 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 didn't look quite finished, I don't know why, less details, more naked truth maybe.Anyway, actually I was more interested in what she was saying in her book, than the photos themselves. Because I like to understand what there is behind people's minds, rather than what they want to show.If you are a Shabby Chic fan and want to spend a few hours in Rachel Ashwell's 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 more cozy, comfy and chic.My only problem with this book : I had not enough to read. I need to know more. I need another whole book like this. The least I can say : I've not been bored while reading it ! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of my favorite books *by N***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2010* At first glance I did not like this book, but the second time I peaked into it I fell in love so I bought it. Shabby chic Interiors was written at the time when Rachel Ashwell's mom passed away, as well as all Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic stores had to be closed down. In this book we get a glimpse into her thoughts and feelings during what was an especially dark and tough period for her. We also get a taste from the new direction where Shabby Chic is heading...The book resonated with me and I appreciated her honesty and wisdom, as well as the gorgeous rooms that were photographed by Amy Neunsinger. I loved the encouragement to simplify and pair down ones life and belongings to the essentials. It's been a year that I bought Shabby Chic Interiors and I still turn to it for inspiration.Still, I couldn't give it 5 stars.While I love 80% of the book that is about R.A., such as her home, barn, studio, I did not like her friends houses. To me they looked patchy and dingy (except maybe Amy's family tree house). Having read her newest book, Shabby Chic Inspirations and Beautiful Places, has helped me to understand where she was already heading in this one. In her new book the ratio is 30% R.A. 70% friends, and that 70% I found dark and dingy. I hope this trend will stop with the new book, and we get to see more of Rachel Ashwell and less of her friends (unless they have similar style like R.A.) ### ⭐⭐⭐ Rather disappointing *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2009* I have loved Shabby Chic for years, and was very excited when I saw this new book coming out. Once I started looking at it, however, I have to say I was very disappointed. I understand how a persons taste and style can change and evolve, but from what I now see in Rachel Ashwell's home, her taste has turned to junk. What happened to the beautiful floral fabrics and antique mismatched china? The beautiful crystal prisms hanging off candle holders and lights? Those were the types of things that drew me into Shabby Chic to begin with and what I still love about that look. From what I see now, and how she's decorating, it looks like Shabby Junk, and I see nothing chic about it. Most of her furnishings look a tad bit like garage sale rejects. The style and elegance that used to go hand in hand with the name Rachel Ashwell, has sadly, been replaced with tacky furnishings that I wouldn't give a nickle for. There is nothing in this book that resembles the Shabby Chic look and style from the past. Don't bother with this book if that's what you're looking for. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2874099-rachel-ashwell-shabby-chic-interiors-my-rooms-treasures-and-trinkets](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2874099-rachel-ashwell-shabby-chic-interiors-my-rooms-treasures-and-trinkets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
