The Prairie

It looks like the queen of Shabby Chic is turning her talents to new adventures these days.  Clearly, the kind of (business) woman to get back up and dust herself off after claiming bankruptcy several years back, Rachel Ashwell has recently opened a B&B called The Prairie.  This beautiful new project is situated on 46 acres (of you guessed it...prairie!) of gently rolling hills and wide open skies in Round Top, Texas.  All the interiors are done by Rachel herself in her iconic style... pretty, soft and always relaxed! 
Each building has been restored to it's original splendour, including the original home on the property which dates back to the 1800s.  The finishings, fabrics and textiles are all true Shabby Chic style right down to the painted floorboards, peeling plaster walls and lovely patina furniture.  Oh my, just look at those amazing bedrooms... honestly, after my late night last night, I'm telling you I'd give my right arm to slip into one of those soft beds right about now!
