Country Living Little Book of Big Decorating Ideas
I love getting the chance to review these décor books up close and personal and this one is so tiny and cute. A little square book packed with decorating ideas! What fun.
The tag line is 287 clever tips, tricks and solutions and they are right. Each page is numbered with a great idea for decorating, from quirky, to found objects and recyling, there’s an idea for every design enthusiast.
It’s tiny and square, about 6” square. From the editors of Country Living, one of our fave magazines, you’ll find tips on hundreds of ideas to tap into your home’s full potential.
Pages 68 and 69: Bathroom ideas and fireplace plans.
Pages 99 and 100: Birdcages and quirky clothes pins.
Pages 117 and 118: Painted stairs and upholstery ideas.
Pages 216 and 217: Color ideas for the living room and bedroom.
Pages 240 and 241: Framed art and gallery walls.
And the outdoor areas even got in the book, Pages 230 and 231: Outdoor planting and fence ideas.
It really is packed with some great pics and you’ll enjoy thumbing through this one. I love adding great décor books to my growing collection for those times that I just want to unplug and sit on the porch with a pretty book in hand. I don’t always want to be in front of my computer, do you?

Today, I’m sharing over at SAS Interiors series of Creating a Meaningful Home,so I’d love for you to stop over and check it out! She has many bloggers sharing their stories and it’s a fun series. It goes live at 7 a.m. EST.
Oh, so many reasons I love home decor books. The inspiration, the photography, seeing how others live, and, oh–I have an entire wall of bookshelves that need books now–LOL! It looks like a great book 🙂 xo Kristin
For those days when the power is out 🙂
You can never have too many ways to be inspired !
It can be so relaxing to sit down and look thru a good decorating book. I’m sure this is a great one since it is published by Country Living.
They are like school books to me. I study every page and when it’s time for the test, like a party, dinner, or a garden needing attention, I go back to them and study them again.
I would love this book because I really need another course! I have a big test ahead that I will be sharing later.

Sometimes I get so accustomed to the way my home looks that I can’t see it with fresh eyes. Books like these give me the perspective to go “Oh, that’s what needs to be changed!” I have loved Country Living since the days of firkins and quilts. My style has evolved as theirs has. I would love this book!
Décor books ALWAYS provide some new inspiration…no matter how many times I look at mine, I will find something new each time!
I always enjoy Country Living. This little book looks to be full of photos and not so much writing..just the way I like decorating idea books! LOL!
I love decorating books because they are full of new ideas. I also enjoy seeing how others put together a beautiful room using new & found objects.
I love to collect home decorating books! They give me so many ideas and I just love to sit and flip thru them. Country Living books are my fave – thanks for the opportunity to enter!
Since retiring from teaching, I have had (taken) the time to get to know the pieces in my house and how they can be reused in other areas of my house. What fun it has been to do that! My inspiration has come from fabulous blogs – like yours – as well as magazines an books. What fun it would be to have a new book for inspiration and ideas….thanks!
I love design books that allow me to feel like I can be crafty and can decorate like the pros.
I love decor books because you can keep them forever and every time you open one you see something you didn’t see before. I love to curl up on the couch and take my time thumbing thru the pages.
I love to go over and over my decorating books. I see something new every time!
I love decorating books because they give me inspiration! I find the books also help motivate me to finish a project, start a new project, and sometimes…..clean my house!
I only have 2 other decorating books and they’re wonderful to flip through and get ideas when I’m confuse. This one looks a bit updated and very interesting.
Sometimes I just need to see it to envision an idea for my space. Thanks!
I was just talking with a friend the other day about Country Living Magazine and how our styles have evolved so much since I discovered the “country look” in the early 80s. I’d love to see their new book, books, magazines, and the web are where I get the sparks of ideas for my own home.
I love decorating books and would really enjoy having this one. I also love reading your blog. It’s one of my favorites.
