    If I win the book, I would like to learn more about arranging furniture. Also I love ideas on re-purposing items I already own. You do a great job of showing a lot of that on this blog. You are already on my blogroll and I will post this give-a-way on my blog.

    I love decorating! My hubby and I bought our first home 1 3/4 years ago and I have just been able to start really decorating in this year. I have done some of the bedrooms, gutted out and redone a bathroom (and working on doing the same to the master bath right now)…. but I want to get inspiration for my kitchen and dinning room! I am deff. linking to your page so put me down for two entries (I want all the chances I can get).

    I don’t know if this is covered in the book, but I’ve always wanted to have more ideas for my walls than (a) plain paint or (b) plain wallpaper.

    Thanks for the contest!

    I REALLY need help arranging our living room. I have been experimenting with not just pushing the couches against the walls, but it’s an open room so where do i place them without cutting off the next room?

    thanks,
