To the library, that is.  After many weeks spent flipping through the pages, I’m finally returning my library book, Rachel Ashwell’s “Shabby Chic Interiors:  My Rooms, Treasures, And Trinkets." 



For weeks I’ve been absorbed in any Shabby-Chic-y thing I can find.  The relaxed, romantic design aesthetic is perfectly me and perfectly do-able.  (Meaning, as long as I look for my treasures at tag sales rather than Target, finding Shabby Chic items can be inexpensive.)
 
If you're interested in being inspired by or learning more about Shabby Chic style, we have five or six of the dreamy design books available for check-out at the Monterey Public Library.
