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.

Would love to have Style to update my kitchen and family area. Southern Living magazine always has such good ideas. Thanks for giveaway!
Goodness – the whole house needs updating but the first one would be the basement/garage as it recently had to have mold repair done to it and now we need to finish it. I would hope to gain more design knowledge so that I can translate it to my budget and needs. Thank you for this giveaway!
I’m sure I could give that Style book a good home.
My kitchen needs updating the most! I hope to gain peace of mind that will allow me to confidently update my cozy nook with my limited knowledge on how, what, and where to do so! I need inspiration! lol
Wow…how nice to have this opportunity! So, I would like to peruse this inspiration book to get ideas for a 3rd flood bedroom that we are in the midst of cleaning out and getting ready to paint..

I’d love to have this book as I can tell from the pages you showed that it would have the style I’d like to achieve. I’d love to update my living room and figure out how to transition to a new look on a budget, still incorporating some of the pieces I love…..kinda mix it up! This Southern Living book would be a big inspiration I can tell. Hope I win!
I would love to get some ideas on what to do with my wall and ceiling pine. It is like living in a wooden box!
