Now you can do more than just dream of living in a Shabby Chic home. You can create one yourself. With invaluable treasure hunting advice and tips for essential materials, furniture, objects, and decorations, you can live a life of simple, but rich, beauty. With her practiced eye Rachel takes you on a tour of flea markets, antique malls, and a variety of secondhand sales— estate, tag, yard, church, garage—to demonstrate how, with a little taste, imagination, work, and ingenuity, you can turn trinkets from the past into treasures for today. As Rachel sifts through the discarded, the crumbling, the shabby, she takes you step by step through her personal process, sharing how you, too, can spot a fabulous buy, repair and alter it, and by following her guideline words— comfort , function , and beauty —develop your own distinctive, original look that is down-to-earth yet truly exquisite. Following her sensible advice you can exchange the anonymity of mass-produced furniture and home accessories for unique, inviting surroundings for a fraction of the price and decorate comfortable, livable rooms in which family heirlooms blend with flea-market finds and the new combines gracefully with the well worn. Lavishly illustrated with lovely and informative photographs and drawings, Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting & Decorating Guide shows you how to have the home you've always dreamed of, a place where children's dinners are served on mix-and-match antique plates at a table covered with lace from a renovated curtain set with unironed linen napkins. A space where fresh flowers stand in antique jugs, complementing comfortable furniture covered in crisp white denim that is enhanced with each laundering. For Rachel, Shabby Chic is not just a style. It is a way of living. With her trademark warmth and charm she reveals how she sleeps on embroidered antique linen and dresses in cashmeres and bias-cut silk dresses discovered in vintage clothing shops and flea markets. Throughout, she teaches you how to recognize and appreciate beauty in unlikely and often overlooked places, as well as how to define and refine your individual taste. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 8 x 0.73 x 10 inches | | Edition | 1st | | Isbn 10 | 0060392088 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0060392086 | | Item Weight | 2.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 224 pages | | Publication Date | June 23, 1998 | | Publisher | Harper | ## Images ![Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting and Decorating Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91CgQPkznSL.jpg) ![Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting and Decorating Guide - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91zKYzHTfVL.jpg) ![Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Treasure Hunting and Decorating Guide - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aMNp6wf0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful collection of photos as well as tips and tricks for restoring antiques and project furniture *by on Reviewed in the United States February 10, 2016* Love the ideas and tips included in this book, and especially enjoyed just browsing through all of the beautiful photos of Ashwell's treasures. I found much inspiration in this book as far as ideas and useful tips for restoring antiques and project pieces. It is also beautiful as a coffee table book, and most of my guests end up flipping through the pages at some point during their visit to my home. I plan on purchasing another of Ashwell's design books soon because I enjoyed this one so much! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love beautiful things but your wallet does not, buy this book! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 3, 2015* Generally, when I have a design-type book I mostly look at the photos. Rachel Ashwell's books are different - I find myself reading them from cover to cover. She shares many of her ideas about how to create a beautiful and comfortable home. This book focuses on flea market finds - what to look for and possible uses. In the back of the book there is a "resources" section that includes care for old fabrics, tips for cleaning and restoring various objects, and locations of some flea markets. I also find the photos and sketches very inspiring. If you are drawn to the shabby chic style and love finding hidden jewels, this is a book for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Personalization care *by on Reviewed in the United States November 8, 2025* So happy to get this little treasure especially from an actual small business specializing in out of print books called Billy Budds. --- ## 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.gr/products/69737491-rachel-ashwells-shabby-chic-treasure-hunting-and-decorating-guide](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/69737491-rachel-ashwells-shabby-chic-treasure-hunting-and-decorating-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
