I enjoyed this DVD and hope that more are released.The only downside is it only has a running time of 66 mins.
Her company has just released three DVDs from that series: (1) Treasures (2) Gifts, Sentiments & Romance and (3) Flowers, Petals & Gardens. The more demand there is the more likely they'll release the rest of the series onto DVD. Rachel visits the home of her friend, Hollywood hairdresser Chantal Clautier. There are many more episodes yet to be released, depending on how well these three initial DVDs sell they'll consider putting out more DVDs. Chantal has created the ideal Shabby Chic retreat by using authentic antiques and flea market finds.
The Shabby Chic principal is to accept imperfections rather than change them. In the FLEA MARKET episode you watch as Rachel and her partner Mark search a local antiques flea market for its treasures. They take their finds back to the shop where Mark cleans them up with some quick & easy restoration work. Rachel Ashwell had a show called "Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic" on Style Network a few years back. So, if you are a fan of Rachel Ashwell and want to see more please buy all 3 DVDs. But if you can only buy one then get this one, it's the best of the three because it is on this DVD that she focuses on home furnishings.Here is what you get on this DVD:1- House2- Flea Market3- Affordable EleganceIn the HOUSE episode Rachel has just bought a home in LA for her parents to stay in whenever they visit from England. The last episode on this disc is GIFTS, SENTIMENTS & ROMANCE. Rachel appreciates these depreciated pieces (a time worn cabinet from Iowa, a cupboard from the turn of the century, etc) for their history, whimsy, beauty and function.
Each DVD contain 3 episodes so if you buy all three DVDs you will own 9 episodes from the original series. Simple renovations transform a 1940's home into the epitome of Shabby Chic.and she does it on a limited budget in only 5 weeks time. You won't see this home in any of Rachel's books, you'll have to buy the DVD to see this gorgeous home. She spots her signature colors (white, pink and green) and well-crafted furniture from days gone by.
We always feel proud when friends and family come over and admire all the wonderful furniture and simple things that we purchase from markets. This dvd is I think my favourite I too enjoy going to markets and buying old furniture and fixing it up and displaying it in my home. I have four daughters and they love the Shabby Chic theme as well. We are having so much fun shopping for vintage treasures and special wares to fill our beautiful home.Thanks Rachel from the Batsas girls.xx We treasure everything we buy and enjoy.
