Country Living has been very generous with me, sharing their new books and letting me give ONE away to a reader as well. We all love decorating books and this is another one that is beautiful and inspiring. Especially if you happen to like the trend of decorating with white. But, even if you don’t there’s still plenty of color to be found in this book, so don’t let the title fool you. Stark white and nothing else would be a little bit difficult to live with. I love color, but I also love white backgrounds and this book has some great ideas for using white and mixing it all up with patterns and textures to create a lovely home.
The description on the back says:
A room dressed in white may be romantic, rustic, traditional, or contemporary, but it will never be dated. White is simply timeless. Through a wealth of photographs, ideas, and tips, you’ll see how easy it is to bring a white palette into any room to create fresh, comfortable spaces filled with character and warmth.
And again, the book is definitely not all about white, but gives many ideas on layering it all with color and collections.
You’ll get plenty of ideas and inspiration from the beautiful pics on every page.
Blue and white, a fave for many decorators for years.
Collections are another part of the book. I don’t have room in my house for collections this big, but they sure are prettily displayed.
If you enjoy farmhouse style and new country decorating, you’ll love this book and will be excited to have it in your collection.
If you’d like to win a copy of the book, all you have to do is leave a comment, again telling me why you like decorating books and what you’d like to take away from this one.
I’ll choose a winner in a few days!
Christmas in July! Is it too early to think about Christmas? Probably so, it’s really hard to think about it with heat and humidity going on, but here are a couple things to keep in mind WHEN you get ready to start thinking about Christmas this year:
I like to do small vignettes around the house, with bits and pieces of Christmas cheer, like in the window of my kitchen.
Adding Christmas dishes is a fun way to get in the festive mood for welcoming guests to your home. I can’t quite think about it yet, but it will be fun once again when the season arrives.
One of my sponsors, Payless Decor is having a Christmas in July sale this week and I wanted to tell you about it. All of the beautiful blinds in my home came from Payless Decor and I have loved them, they make my windows!

I am trying to change my décor to whites and neutrals and this book would certainly hold my hand through this process! Thank-you and Country Living for giving us this chance to win this book!
I am so obsessed with decorating with white these days. I would love to see what Country Living had to add to it. I browse pictures on Pinterest and Google images for more ideas all the time. It is just a timeless and romantic look.
I love decorating books. They are an inspiration for ideas on how to decorate my own home. I am in the process of re-decorating some of the rooms in my house and this book would be such a huge help!
Thank you for the opportunity to win this book from Country Living. I really enjoy Country Living Magazine, too.

Decorating books are a wonderful “escape” for me and I enjoy spending time immersed in room designs inspired by professionals. I would love to own this Country Living publication to help us decorate our new residence using schemes in white (rental) as we have several rooms that need attention. Thank you!
When you live in an apartment, you have to get used to the white walls that your landlady loves! But that doesn’t mean that you have to leave those white walls bare. That’s where decorating cozy, decorating collectibles, decorating country comes in. I’d love to see how this decorating book can inspire me!
