Silk, velvet, linen and lace all cohabit if they have the same acceptance of age.’ I want these elements to create the tapestry of my home. I don’t want plastic surgery on my time-worn treasures I want to enjoy every crack, every layer of paint, every thread that hangs. I have chandeliers for mood, but also brighter secondary lighting from wall sconces or small, recessed halogen spotlights. I find vintage papers on the internet and if I love the pattern, I will buy as much as I can find.’ Rachel reveals her favourite details that help make a house a home.
All are under a $1.2 million, proving you don’t have to break the bank to be hip, or shabby chic, whatever the case may be.For everything that’s embellished or embroidered – such as cushions, lighting and trinkets with that vintage vibe – try Plümo, tel: 08, Graham and Green, tel: 08, .uk Bhs (the Maison range), tel: 08, bhs.co.uk Opiium (lighting only), tel: 07738 710922, Pale & Interesting, tel: 01797 344077,. Cruise over and check out a WALK STREETS GEM, ADORABLE BUNGALOW, and HEART OF VENICE COTTAGE. If you’re digging Rachel’s little digs and are looking for your own little Venice bungalow to shack up in, we’ve plucked three of our favorites on the market right now to take a look at. Take a look at the adorable photos above. The sweet cottage is walking distance to the beach and Venice’s hotspots, and we suspect Rachel's going to use it as a pied-a-terre. Rachel’s new house proves that, well, a Bungalux can be exactly that. The beachside community is home to Abbot Kinney (which was recently named “the coolest block in America” by GQ Magazine), equally cool Main Street, the up-and-coming Rose Avenue, and a bevy of beautiful hipsters who hang out at hot spots like Intelligentsia in the morning and Gjelina at night.
Rachel, who owns a grander house in Los Angeles as well, is one of the many to latch on to the Venice trend. The latest: Rachel just purchased a very modest two bedroom, one bath adorable beach cottage in Venice for $930,000, an unheard of sum in the typically stratospheric Los Angeles luxury real estate world.
