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.
Not only is a decor book fun to look through they are full of inspiration.
Call me old fashioned, but I still love to hold and book and flip through the pages, instead of always being on the computer. Don’t get me wrong, I love reading blogs and Pinterest, but there is just something about flipping through a book. Plus, its Country Living, one of my favorite magazines, can’t go wrong with that! 🙂

Way way back, as a very new, young mother I found my first issue of Country Living magazine and suddenly realized that my decorating style had a name. That was in 1982!! It was quite and epiphany for me! That started me down a decor path and an began an insatiable appetite for more inspiration that has never left me. All these years later…make mine Farmhouse. Would love the chance to win this little book, thanks!
Love to look at all the ideas in books and then diy them even cheaper!!!
Oh I would love this book
I get lots of ideas from their magazine and this would be icing on the cake.
Decorating books are wonderful to have. Like a great movie, you see new things every time you open them.
I would love to add this book to my collection. I’m always looking for ideas.
Thoroughly enjoy Country Living magazine. This book looks just as inspirational! (fingers crossed)
Hi Rhoda 🙂 I absolutely love opening a book like this because it gives me hope and inspiration! It reminds me that even if things aren’t perfect, one can still aspire to create a beautiful environment. My sis and Mom are the creative decorators so I sometimes struggle to find the essence of what it means to surround myself with beauty. Your website/blog and books like this have helped me dream about what to do with my little 862 sq ft. cottage living space. Thank you 🙂
I love to sit with decor books and search for new ideas or just daydream over the beautiful pictures.
I do love Home Decor books! Thankfully I live right around the corner from a fabulous Goodwill and I always find the best books there. I got the Pottery Barn decor books (boxed set!), Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic, Martha Stewart’s Homekeeping Handbook, and a slew of others!
My husband’s instructions to the ladies at the local library: “Do not let Vicky check out anymore decorating books or magazines. She gets too many ‘bad’ ideas.” Love, Love, Love the possibility of actually adding this lovely, informative, creative book to my permanent collection.
Love your blog, look every day to see what new adventures you’ve had decorating , thrifting. I was born in Birmingham, but have lived in Indiana for almost 44 years, but I’m proud of my Southern heritage.
I love to get decorating ideas from blogs and books! I am not very creative, but I love to get ideas from others.
I love the inspiration you find in decor books. I love to flip through them over and over.
I too love to HOLD a book in my hand and get away from the computer occasionally. Just the few pages you showed, got me excited! Looks like it will keep the creative juices flowing for a long time! Thanks!

Without decor books (& bloggers) I’d have no clue how to decorate my home.
This would be so nice to have. I can see many hours spent on the patio just looking at it over and over again. I would love it.
