{Giveaway is Closed}

The winner is:  #94, Lisa Appell!  Congrats, Lisa!

Some things come in small packages and that is the case with a brand new book!

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.

Country Living Big decorating ideas

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.

Country Living book 2

Pages 68 and 69:  Bathroom ideas and fireplace plans.

Country Living 3

Pages 99 and 100: Birdcages and quirky clothes pins.

Country Living 4

Pages 117 and 118:  Painted stairs and upholstery ideas.

Country Living 5

Pages 216 and 217:  Color ideas for the living room and bedroom.

Country Living 6

Pages 240 and 241:  Framed art and gallery walls.

Country Living 7

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? Winking smile

ONE very lucky reader is also going to get a chance to add Country Living’s Little Book of BIG Decorating Ideas to your collection too!  All you have to do is leave a comment telling me why you love décor books and how much you’ll enjoy this one.

I’ll pick a random winner in a few days!  That’s it!

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 can’t tell you how much I love decorating books! Everyday I check my email for blogs to get ideas for my own house. Being retired now, I get the most confidence by how my home is decorated. I would love to win that book!

    I love home décor books – I just love to pull one out whenever I need a little inspiration! I would like to have the new Country Living book – we just built a new house and I am really in need of some new inspiration for this house!

    What a fun book! Our home is 34 years old and I am slowly re-doing many of the rooms. I am always looking for inspirational design ideas and this book looks like a winner for that purpose! I’d love to have a copy. Thank you, Rhoda!

    WoW! A book just the right size to keep in a bag with you always, to pop out anytime anywhere and dream as you flip through. I always have a book or mag with me for those few moments with nothing but a smart phone to look at.

    Thanks, and have a great day!
