    I’d love to win this book! I have an older edition that I’ve absolutely worn out by thumbing through it and poring over it.

    I’m still trying to work on my poor little master bedroom and would love to learn how to combine the colors and textures I want to make this room special.

    Thanks for the great giveaway.

    What a great book. I’m not sure what I’d like to learn, but I always enjoy looking at the pictures so that I can get inspiration for more projects in my home.

    Hi, Rhoda ~ I'm having such FUN tonight, "running around" enjoying everyone's blogs that I "know" or "know of" from GOLLUM'S and SUSAN'S ("Between Naps on the Porch"). Nope, I do NOT have a "blog", so I can't "enter" for that gr888 book~~~ I just really enjoyed reading your blog, & seeing your lovely home… and wanted to tell you that!!! Warmest wishes to a lovely lady (and I CAN say that because I CAN'T win a book or anything… so, you KNOW it's sincere!)~~~ Blessings, Linda/ "Mom…"
