    I would love to learn more about colors… and also pairing country antiques with comfort (not sure if that would be in the book but it’s an interest of mine).

    Hmmmm. I’d love to learn how to tie together different themes and pieces. Like tying together different patterns, it’s not my forte.

    I hope you’re having fun on your trip right now. You’re going to have one FULL inbox when you return! I’d love to learn more about decorating on a budget. I’m a big fan of antique store finds, and placing them with contemporary pieces intrigues me.

    I’m also doing a giveaway at my blog if you’d like to check it out and enter…..www.theotherhuse.blogspot.com

    My hubby has given me free reigns on redecorating our house, but I have no idea what to even do! I really want to redo our bedroom, as it’s not decorated at all. We even have blankets hanging as curtains.

    Hi Rhoda!
    We were in CBS together a couple of years ago. I really enjoy your blog. I need help with accessorizing my home. This book would help a lot.

    Hi Rhoda 🙂

    I’ve been having trouble keeping up myself, but I made it in time to enter your giveaway!

    I need to do something to this house so that I can fall in love with it again since we won’t be moving for a while and this book looks like it could help 😉

    Have a great time at the beach!!
    hugs,
    rue
