    Rhoda, thank you for the chance to win this decorating book! I love books like this and BHG, too. I always need advice on accessorizing tables, mantels, etc. And I just love learning new ideas to make a room feel like home! I have spread the word at My Blessed Nest. Have fun in Gulf Shores…went to the Shrimp Festival there a couple of weeks ago!

    Oooohhh, I’ve been coveting that book! LOL!

    Raising seven kids on avery small budget never allowed for us to decorate. Now they are all older and leaving the nest one by one, I’ve entered another phase in my life. Looking around and desperately wanting to have a nicely decorated home. I need help with accessorising, and color schemes.

    Not techie enough yet to make myself a nice blog…..

    I would like to know how you decorate with children; especially one that makes messes in 5 minutes after the area is cleaned up.

    I’d love to be considered for your generous giveaway. I’ve been in the same house for 16+ years and have only decorated a few of the rooms. I’ve made a ton of expensive decorating mistakes, so I’ve become a very reluctant decorator. I’ve recently discovered your blog as well as some others and love your musings and photos! I need all the help I can get!

    Thanks,
    Nancy
