Meadow Manor: My Majestic English Countryside Home

‘Another beautifully charming book from Rachel Ashwell. Her signature style captures the essence of romanticism, grounded in simplicity and honesty. She brings her spaces alive with charm, nostalgia, and lyricism, guiding you through her new home with insight and care. Inspiring, relatable, and authentic.’ – Atlanta Bartlett @atlantabartlett ‘Rachel’s new book is a delicious invitation to sit and enjoy beautiful imagery that is full of exquisite florals, old vintage fabrics, and layered interiors full of stories and charm, while losing yourself for a while in her compelling storytelling of the courage of starting a new chapter and a new home in midlife. She gently reminds us that you need space and peace for creativity and to always remain curious for what life might have in store for us next.’ – Lucy Hunter @lucytheflowerhunter Meadow Manor is a beautiful and evocative book on Rachel Ashwell’s new English country home in Somerset, for followers of Shabby Chic and those who aspire to live the country dream. Rachel’s intentions were to decorate her home Meadow Manor sympathetically to the historical values and authentic details of the 17th-century farmhouse and treat its venerable old bones with respect. Much of her furniture transitioned seamlessly from California and Texas to Somerset—much-loved treasures found their place, miraculously and magically. The book explores every room of the house, beginning with the large country kitchen, the cosy sitting rooms and Rachel’s studio. These are followed by four bedrooms, Rachel’s bedroom, boudoir and bathroom, a laundry room and, up in the attic, a dedicated home for her treasured collection of linens and vintage textiles. All have been sensitively renovated, with many a story behind the decorative decision-making process. Rachel’s home also includes a beautiful garden, a cluster of barns and a guest cottage for family and friends to immerse themselves into her whimsical world. Meadow Manor is a true labour of love, which will inspire readers who dream of creating their own country retreat.
