{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!

    Oh, I love decor books too. They are such eye candy, and so inspirational – a little glimpse into perfection! I’ve just built my dream home, and boy do I need everything decor related! These books are a great starting point for ideas, colors, you name it.

    I would love to win the book. It would give me inspiration for things in my own home. I have been looking at blogs and getting really great ideas, but like you said it would be nice to not have to look at a computer.

    My favorite thing about decorating books are the pictures. I especially like looking at coastal style homes.

    I love design books because we’ve recently moved into our first home and this has been where most of my decorating ideas have come from. I love the large pictures and the ability to bookmark the things i think will work in our new home.

    I love decor books because I am always redecorating. Every time we move I get a chance to try out new decor ideas. This book would be perfect because right now I am in the midst of redecorating again!

    I love decorating magazines and books, and I especially enjoy Country Living. Like you, I like to hold a book in my hand and peruse it. To me, as much as I love decorating blogs, there is just something about the appeal of a book I can hold in my hands and read.
