{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.
Would love to win this book. Recently I have been painting everything White. Crisp, clean and refreshing. I have a blue and white room in my house and it’s my favorite.
I love decorating books and magazines, especially Country Living. I have had a subscription for many years now and I love sitting down and just taking in all of the fabulous pages. So much inspiration! I know the book will be even more fabulous!
I would love to win this book. I have a wicker bedroom, but the walls are deep turquoise. I’m wanting to go with more white and less color. This book would help me get started in the right direction.
I love to see how others decorate their home, and it is particularly helpful to see how the professionals do it. Not all of us are naturally gifted in that area, so we need help. 🙂
I would love to see how they handle the collections.
I collect decorating books and the Country Living ones are my favorite! I bet you could hear me squealing with delight when I read about this one! Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway.
I love decorating books, and would love to win his copy.
I would love to win because I need all the help Ican get with decorating!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful book with us! I love the white dishes in the sage green shelving / display shelf cabinet. How refreshing!
I’d love to win too. I’m definitely not an all white girl but I’m trying to incorporate more and more with my colors.
I would love to win this book. Living at the tip of Africa means I love getting all the international inspiration I can get. I love the American style of decorating and I particularly love white as it is so versatile
I have always loved decorating books. I go back to them again and again. Decorating with white is timeless and can be changed up so easily. I would love to win this book and share the ideas with my daughter.
I’m working around a big leather couch. Enough said. It’s not going, so I better get going lightening up every other surface! Thanks much!
I’m toying with painting my living room, kitchen and sunroom white so I can bring in lots of fun colors and then switch them out either seasonal or as I grow tired of them. This book would provide great inspiration.
Would love to put this one right next to “Blue and White in Your Home.” Decorating books are fun to read, but also make attractive accessories when displayed in your home.
The cover was enough to make me want to read this beautiful book and especially if I could own it.My home is a two story in which we have lived for almost thirty years.We have added many details to my home such as a rocking chair porch with a gazebo added to the end,my husband copied a victorian design from a victorian porch and make all the decorative trim and added abeautiful swing,all this is in white,I told him that I wanted all white so that it looks like the icing on a wedding cake,I have added many white elements into my overall decorating scheme,love it,I love the look of finishing off everything in white and green in the house.
OMGoodness, I would like to have this book to change things
up a bit and share with family and friends 🙂 Thank you ever so very much!
I love white…can’t get enough of it. I can only use it in selected areas due to having pets who use the furniture and they are part of our family. I would love to use this book to better use white where I can.
I still love my decor books and mags even though Pinterest is a close second!
I love decorating books because I didn’t receive the decorating gene where you just know where and how to place things but pictures really are worth a thousand words – I can look at the pictures and replicate the look in my own home.
I would like to take away some great ideas to transform my bedroom from this book. Thanks so much for the chance 🙂
This looks like a great book! I love anything to do with decorating, and I’m an avid reader, so this book is a win/win for me. I am also loving the white decorating trend we are in right now. White is so clean and fresh.
