Haute Homestead


Rachel Ashwell's expanding Texas retreat is putting an under-the-radar shopper's paradise firmly on the map~

Another magazine that I follow, and it has a cult following, is Garden & Gun because its a celebration of Southern Living and way of life. Yes, there is the hunting aspect of the magazine, but they also feature articles pertaining to lifestlyes and interiors. I found this article about Rachel Ashwell's Texas retreat and seeing these images made me nestagic for the days that I lived in the great state of Texas. Who's Rachel Ashwell? Well, the article says it best, "Ashwell—author, designer, and founder of the global Shabby Chic brand—has spent the past year transforming five primitive buildings on forty-six acres of rolling farmland into an authentic Lone Star retreat, where guests mingle easily with visiting locals and the property’s familial staff. There are cattle grazing, roses blossoming, and panoramic views for miles in all directions. It’s part Out of Africa, part Lonesome Dove—a secluded, peaceful oasis at the heart of an eclectic and emerging travel destination."
