{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.
I just recently had a white entertainment center built in my family room and would love to have a good decorating book to help me style the shelves. Please pick me!
I love decorating books-before there were blogs, books and magazines were my only source for ideas! I collect books that inspire – and many are from Country Living – a magazine I have subscribed to since its first issue!
I would love to win this book because I am not a creative person, this book will help me to put ideas together when I thought they wouldn’t go together! (hope that makes sense)
Love the book! Thanks for the give-away! Brenda
County Living always has the latest in design inspiration , hope I win!!!!
I always wanted a white room with a few black accents but have lacked the ability to begin. This book would be the perfect first step to achieve my very own white cottage room.
I am getting ready to move to a new condo and this would be very helpful. Lots of inspiration. I would love to win it.
I love decorating with white!!! I think decorating books are great inspiration and jumping off points for your own home!! Would love to win!!
I would love to win this book because I could use some serious help when it comes to decorating:)
I would love to win this book!!! I get an instant high when looking at decorating books and often find solutions for a room whether it is taking away or adding something!!
This looks like a fun book!
I love decorating books, Country Living, and decorating with white (and blue)….so I know I would enjoy this book! Thanks!
This looks like a wonderful book. I love the idea of decorating with white but definitely need this decorating book for ideas and inspiration on how to make it work with textures and small amounts of color. Thanks for this opportunity!
Dreams, inspiration, and wonderful pictures. That is why I love decorating books. This one looks amazing. White in all it simplicity, calming, cool but so easily transformed with touches of color. Would love to win this book!
I would love to have the book! I need ideas of how to transition my dark spaces back to lighter–also always love blue and white! Thanks for the chance.

Would love to win this book. Thank you
I have a small white glass collection which I started before everyone else . I would love to have this book to learn to display it better.
I love decorating books and I have several Country Living books which are timeless! Even though my “look” changes over the years I can still borrow an idea and make it my own. I am gradually using more white in our home because it a happy color and reflects light. I would love to win this book!!
I have just always loved decorating with a white background. It can showcase beautiful wood pieces or color.
I have never tired of it. Now I am helping my daughter decorate on a shoestring and believe white is the way to go because it is like you said, Timeless. I would love the book to add to my other Country Living books.
