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.

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.
I love going through these mags/books even years later. I can also see something that I can update or change. I have tried to keep up with some of these new styles, but for the most part we love the carefree and laid back country style. You know, kick your shoes off, prop your feet up, plop in the chair style…Love your site, and I would love this book.
I love to get lost in a decorator book, soak in every picture and imagine what I could do in my home. Then I’ll place it on a table, just in case someone else might like to look at it. I enjoy your blog!
I love getting inspiration from magazines and blogs to help with redecorating my home. This little book looks packed full of beautiful ideas! and my 1963 home could sure use it!
I’ve been looking at decorating books for year, and we are finally putting an addition on our house so I really need ideas now. I’ve been perusing all of my decorating books and magazines and would love a new one.
I love books that inspire and picture books get me very excited to see how other people put colors and schemes and textures together. I LOVE decorating books because they make me wish I had a house to decorate 🙂
My mom wasn’t a decorator…. she was a wonderful cook and loved me very much, but her idea of decor was nailing an electric clock to the wall. I’m trying to do more in my home. I use blogs, magazines (and books!) to give me inspiration for pretty home decor. Thanks!
I love decorating but am afraid of it all the same! So, decorating books with lots of photos help me overcome and do!
Love looking at decorator books or magazines. Have them all over and never tire of finding new ideas for my home. Have enjoyed your journey of fixing up your home. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Decorating books are food for the creative soul. After many years of searhcing to find my “creative self”, I finally found it! And leafing through decorating books, blogs, magazines and the like helped me to find it. It is a real blessing to find one’s creative soul.
I love decorating books because I am always looking for ideas
for one thing or another. They have a wide range of different
ways to arrange things.
I’ve loved decorating books forever – belonging to book clubs and stocking up on them at the yearly Meredith Publishing’s Book Sale. It was a sad day when that sale was discontinued. Perhaps Amazon gets their bargains nowadays? It’s wonderful to have so much information available on the web but there is still nothing like sitting down with a cup of coffee in the morning and flipping through the pages of a book filled with new ideas for decorating.
I need help! Plain and simple.
I keep decorating books & magazines all through my house. I love to relax with them & I especially love finding ideas I can copy in my own decor – especially when I’m stuck on what to do with something. I sure would love to win this one!
One of my favorite things about books and magazines is seeing how colors can work together. You don’t have to paint walls and buy fabric to see if something works.
I can really use this too as I’ve begun a new house hunt. Not sure what I’ll end up with, but a bit different from what I have now.
I love decorating books because I look at them over and over. Even the smallest detail may be just the thing needed to finish a room. That little hidden surprise. Or the wow piece that changes the feel of the entire space. And since our rooms are always evolving, the details also change. Fun!
After retiring from nursing after 36 years of service, I now have more time to devote to my number one passion, decorating books and design! I love redoing and refurbishing and do a lot for friends and colleagues as well as strangers. It is my number one passion and I am the happiest when I am up to my elbows in paint, wallpaper and old furniture that needs to be rehabbed!! I would love to win the Country Living Decorating book! My heart would sing with joy and so would I! It would get my creative juices flowing and my mind racing!
Rhoda, you are my kind of girl, and I would love to meet you someday! You are just amazing and so is your blog! I can’t wait each day to read your posts!!
Decorating books turn on my creative juices. There are so many ways to interpret and borrow good designs for your own projects. I appreciate the wisdom and beauty that comes from a well written artistically designed decorating book.
I love to peruse and dream. Now that I have just retired (3 days ago!) I am looking forward to putting more of those dreams into action. I would love this little book for inspiration.
I love these books. They are full of ideas and fun to read every once and awhile. I especially like Country Living magazine so I am sure this book will be useful.
i love to look at decorating books and magazines. i check them out from the library and when i am done with the book i will donate it to the library so more poeple can look at it too.
