One of the perks of being a design blogger is getting to do book reviews. And as a lover of Southern Living magazine, of course, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check out a brand new book by the publisher of one of my favorite magazines. I’m a Southern girl, after all!
As a longtime fan of Southern Living, it was fun to open the packed full of inspiration pages of this beautiful new book and see it for myself.
You’ll find all sorts of inspiration ideas for updating your home. Gracious hospitality, warmth and effortless elegance signify great Southern style.
Tour the most inspired rooms that have graced the pages of Southern Living magazine in this 288-page guide and grab some great ideas for yourself.
Take a mis-matched group of items and learn how to use them together.
Turning a dining room into a sitting room is easy with a little guidance.
And how many of us have loved taking old cast-offs from the attic or thriftstore and repurposing them into something fresh and glam. Yes, we have!
Sharing updated ways of using old things, this book will inspire you too. I’m so happy to have it in my personal book collection as a reference guide and just to look at. I love pretty decorating books!
You’ll find:
- Defining Southern Style: From heirlooms to monograms, new ways to celebrate traditional icons
- Reclaim It: Tips to turn grandma’s attic finds into updated treasures
- Solutions from Top Southern designers for design dilemmas
- Style on a Budget: Identify individual style and build a room around it
- Why It Works?: Piece-by-piece deconstruction of rooms to show the key components required to achieve a particular look.
- Southern Style File: Black book of editors’ favorite designers, retailers, and more.
- Defining Southern Style: A glossary of helpful “decorator speak” terms.

Our bathroom needs a re-do (It has pink tile!) I’m sure Southern Living could give me some ideas.
I also love SL magazine even though I live in San Diego, CA. (I am the only one of my friends who subscribes to it.) I would love to get some inspiration to make my family room warm and charming.
Thank you!
One of my favorite magazines……would love to have their new book!
Though our house is new- our Master Bedroom needs some love!
I could use ideas for every room. I’m sure that this book would provide inspiration for all the areas I want to tackle
I adore Southern Living and have been a long-time subscriber to the magazine. I’d love the book!
I would say my bedroom but really I could use it for any room!
