{Giveaway is Closed}
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.

My bedroom is in need of a redo. I would like to learn more about style on a budget and reclaiming it. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
This book would be the kick in the seat of the paints I need to redo my bedroom!
So ready to do a kitchen update and Southern Living always provides tons of inspiration!!!
Great giveaway! My oldest daughter’s room needs re-doing badly, in my opinion, but she could care less. The thing I hope to gain from this book or any design book really, is I love looking at the pictures and getting fresh ideas for things I already have.
Definitely our living room! It’s an odd shaped space and I’m constantly brain storming how to best make it work.
Rhonda….our whole house~~~ less the guest room! But i want to start with the master bedroom, then i think i will redo the dinning room….setting room sounds nice! We have a formal dinning room that we only use very rarely and a butlers pantry off of it that I use to store all kinds of kitchen stuff, so you can see it all needs refreshed! Thank you for these little give a ways!!! Sue
My guestroom could really benefit from a redo.
Thanks,, Shirley
Would love to get some ideas for our screened porch and patio. Southern Living always has great outdoor spaces. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a family room off of the kitchen that has a cathedral ceiling,fireplace,french doors to outside,2 other entries from other rooms,and a half wall by the kitchen. I have found it almost impossible to arrange furniture due to so many breaks in the walls and travel paths. It is also very difficult to make cozy or warm feeling with the tall ceiling. It has wood floors so no carpet to soften things. I would so like to make it more homey.
Hi, My bedoom could use a sprucing up. This should be our haven, our sanctuary—it isn’t right now. I need some inspiration and I know that this book would light the spark that I need to get going.
Thanks for the giveaway!
