Movie Reviews of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic: Flowers, Petals & Gardens
Movie Review: Flowers, the essence of Shabby Chic style
Summary: 5 Stars
Rachel Ashwell had a show called "Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic" on Style Network a few years back. Her company has released three DVDs from that series: (1) Treasures (2) Gifts, Sentiments & Romance and (3) Flowers, Petals & Gardens.
Each DVD contain 3 episodes so if you buy all three DVDs you will own 9 episodes from the original series. 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.
Here is what you get on this DVD:
1- Flowers
2- Roses
3- Gardens
In the FLOWERS episode Rachel visits a rose farm, a flower market, and the floral department at her local supermarket...all inspirations for her fabrics, home furnishings and decorations. Rachel also shops a flea market and antique store looking for unique vessels to contain the flowers. After gathering an abundance of blooms in her kitchen, Rachel displays her vases of flowers throughout her home.
In the ROSES episode Rachel celebrates the rose for its beauty and fragrance, after all it is the quintessential element of Shabby Chic style. Artist Christie Rapasy demonstrates the process of creating a rose oil painting, using the soft color palette Rachel loves. Rachel then explains how she matches up the right frame to each painting. Vintage fabrics purchased from flea markets are inspiration for Rachel's own line of fabrics (with small alterations to the original color, scale, and pattern). A studio shows the process of creating a new print using the silk screen method.
In the GARDENS episode Rachel and her landscape designer walk through Rachel's own backyard and pool area pointing out plants that best represent Rachel's garden style. At Peggy Perez's garden, Rachel demonstrates how to press flowers and then Peggy shows the many ways in which to use them. Rachel visits the Lake Shrine public meditation garden to admire it's beauty and tranquility. And finally, back home, Rachel talks about why she uses colorful terry cloth to cover the cushions and pillows on her outdoor patio furniture.
