Thanks to Ashley of Sugar and Cloth, I spent the weekend in Round Top, Texas with friends and fellow bloggers. I was so excited to see everyone and to finally visit The Prairie. I have long loved and appreciated the shabby chic style, though I don’t embrace it as a whole, even like incorporating little elements here and there. I had heard about The Prairie Bed and Breakfast and jumped at the opportunity to visit the property this morning.

Rachel Ashwell was one of the first to find success with her shabby chic designs and made them accessible selling them at Target. I have integrated a lot of the Shabby Chic bedding and accessories into our home through the years. There’s something so serene about lack of perfection and relaxed fabrics. I hope you enjoy this little tour…

The exterior of the barn which is the property’s event venue offered the most beautiful views!

The board and batten exterior with beams and raw weathered wood porch were so beautiful – farmhouse style at its best.

Throughout the property there were a few places to gather. This little retreat offered beautiful views of the prairie and a much needed breeze that Round Top, Texas is known for.

This cottage is a shabbier representation of what a lot of the homes in Round Top, Texas look like.

The shabby chic bed is perfection with ruffled linens.

Seeing the interior of the shabby chic cottages reminded me that life is simple – it’s us that makes it complicated.

Simplicity wins again.

      1. Is The Prairie B&B still open? I read “ permanently closed” and my heart sinks. When I arrived there for a stay a few years back, I opened the door and wept! Such beauty all around. I would love to go back tell me … is it still there?

  1. That was a refreshing tour! I love the greenhouse and I loved the chandelier over the bed. Sigh, how romantic.

  2. Oh Julie, what a fun weekend!!!!! I have long admired Rachel Ashwell and love seeing little glimpses of her work and creativity!

  3. Julie- Thanks for the tour! Really enjoyed it. I too incorporate parts of Rachael Ashwell in our home!

    1. So glad you loved it! I just felt at peace with minimal decor. It was a great reminder that we often fuss too much.

  4. This tour was unimpressive. The house was empty of furnishings which make a home. Very dull and boring.
