{Giveaway is Closed}
The winner is Brenda with Simple Pleasures! Congrats, Brenda, you’ve been emailed!
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!Â
Here’s the code if you want to check out the sale: SH10XMAS713 for 10% off anything over $100. thru 7/25.
Amazing..!! This blue and white combination is incredible. I loved it.
Oh…I’d love to win this book. I love decorating with white but I can never keep myself all neutral. I always have to add some bright pastels with it! I know this will be a great book…all Country Living books are good. I have their one on vintage kitchens.
I would love to win this book, I am planning on lightening my bedroom and would love new inspiration.
At least Payless is advertising it as a Christmas in July sale, Hobby Lobby has aisles of Christmas decor out already!
Looks like another great book from Country Living!!!
Inspiration! I’m not only helping to decorate my daughter’s apartment, but trying to refresh my empty nest! Love Country Living!!
I would love to win this book! Such an inspiration!
I love books on decorating, they open your eyes to so many ideas. White is so easy to change things up with. Have a great day!
This seems like a really nice book. Recently moving into our newly built house I find that I am a little overwhelmed when it comes to decorating it. I am constantly buying magazines and searching online for ideas and helpful hints. I like the look of the white but would love to learn how to mix in a little color with it.

I am just beginning to collect white dishes and serve ware for an antique armoire in my living room. This book is just what I need to get me started! I used to use mostly white with lighter wood tones in my decor 20 years ago. After introducing color and other wood tones for many years, I now want to go back to some quieter rooms. I need this book to guide my way. Thank you for sharing your ideas every day!
Pretty Book. I would love to be inspired with this book as I have been with your web site. Keep up the good Work! Thanks.
I love white ironstone. It is so traditional and timeless. Always looking for new ideas to display!
I would be happy to have a chance to win this book, as I enjoy Country Living magazine. Nice giveaway.
Would love to win! Thanks for the generous give a way.
There’s something soothing about decorating books. Looking at beautifully decorated rooms clears my mind and helps me see my own home with new eyes. I love Country Living magazine and their books! Great giveaway, Rhoda!
I would be elated if I won this book. I have the Country Living kitchen one truly enjoy it.
I love the options of using white as your backdrop. I have been an avid Country Living reader for many years and would love to add this one to my decorating books!
