Rachel's Prairie Ranch

Since my last post eluded to visiting Rachel Ashwell's beautiful Prairie Ranch in Round Top Texas I thought I'd go ahead and start off my show posts with this one. Rachel had had a dinner party on the Monday before the shows started and had invited several to attend.  I was so bummed that I couldn't attend since I was still working before the shows started, but then her assistant Jaime stopped by my booth at Zapp Hall and exclusively invited me and a couple of friends to come and tour the Ranch. I couldn't hardly contain my excitement of being able to see it.

The Ranch was just beautiful.  At every turn there was such beauty and romantic touches, all Rachel's style. There was a serenity and peacefulness to the Ranch that was just so calming.  I could see myself being locked away here and never wanting to leave.

The colors she choose and the pieces she used in the various cottages was just perfect.  Take a look for yourself:

Doesn't it look so inviting!

As you head out you see this beautiful view:



So peaceful.

These are just some of the many chandeliars that are at The Prairie:



Look at the beautiful blue colors:



A place where you can sit back and really enjoy your meal:



It was so big and roomy.

Here's another view of the kitchen/dining area for the guests:

I took about 80 pictures of Rachel's ranch and I just couldn't get over just how beautiful it was. Vintage inspired wallpaper and paint colors were used all throughout the rooms in the main house and cottages.  I had the opportunity to invite a few friends to go with me and tour the place.

Thanks Theresa and Christie for going along with me. 

They are planning on moving a wonderful old house that they will turn into a store, hopefully to be opened by the Fall Antique Shows.  I hope if you get a chance to visit The Prairie that you will do so. It was just magical!!  

Thanks again Jaime and Rachel for allowing us a tour of such a beautiful place.

I'm linking up with Kathleen for this post so be sure and stop over and see all the other participants for White Wednesday.
