A Beautiful Mess Antiques: Rachel Ashwell Visits And Shops With Us & A New Book

About Us:

Interior Designer Kymberley Fraser has captured the elegance of original and unique antiques in her appropriately named boutique; A Beautiful Mess. With a cinematographer’s eye for detail, the collections, oddities and furniture are creatively displayed and clients stroll very slowly so as not to miss an unexpected find. Very rare antique engravings hang from the walls among artisan crafted jewelry, 19th century oil paintings and a sizable collection of 16th and 17th Century vellum books; all of which are illuminated by a mixture of industrial and european lighting. Custom made furniture, primitives, and architectural salvage are displayed alongside artful industrial creations, found objects, and lighting by the The JunkGirls. Collectibles abound as do antique French linens and authentic German grain sacks. A Beautiful Mess, "Where Antiques, Design and Oddities meet pure and simple elegance."

Rachel Ashwell Visits And Shops With Us & A New Book

A wonderful end to A Beautiful Mess week!

We here at A Beautiful Mess have always loved Rachel Ashwell and her style.

We were honored today when Rachel herself came into our store to shop today!

She was even more lovely in person, with a heart of gold.

She is not only talented, but very kind and down to earth.

thanks Lulu

Also, some great news, we will be carrying

this gorgeous new book from

Belle Blanc & White Living here

at A Beautiful Mess soon...

More exclusives on that later...

Thanks for stopping into the store and our blog!
Have a wonderful week ahead!!
