Speed Decorating Book Review & Giveaway

{Giveaway is now Closed}

Ilove it when a publisher contacts me about doing a review on a decorating book.  I was recently given the opportunity to receive a copy of the book, Speed Decorating, by pro-stager Jill Vegas and the chance to give away a copy to one of my readers.

So, of course I said a BIG FAT….YES!

It’s full of glossy color pics that I think you’ll really enjoy and Jill focuses on a Speed Decorating Questionnaire evualating the following questions:

  • What are the primary functions of the space?
  • How does the room look?
  • Is everything working?
  • Does the room feel comfy and inviting:

She suggests getting started by answering these questions and gives a lot of practical tips for arriving at a room of your dreams.  I think the book is concise with some well thought out advice that all decorators could take advantage of, even if you don’t have natural skills and talents in this area.

Jill covers all of the following areas in detail with lots of pics:

Entry

Living Room

Kitchen

Dining Room

Bedroom

Bath

Curb Appeal

So, if you’d live to win a copy of this book, just leave a comment here and tell us which room you’d focus on if you were going to do some speed decorating?

Giveaway ends on Friday evening at 6 pm Central time.

    Speed decorating …. perfect. I would do my living room, it needs a couple changes!

    I would probably focus on my kitchen. It is comfortable now, but needs a lot of work. I know what I want but just need a little direction for what to do next. What a great book this looks like!

    I need advice on speed decorating my entire house! I would probably focus on the dining room first, though.

    Well – I am 50 years old – and have a mix of furniture, furnishings, and a limited budget. I would like to update the look of my house in all my rooms – but probably would focus on my den/dining room combo (since they open up to each other). I would love to try some paint – find some deals (I am a avid thrifter) – and see where it all lands! I know this book would probably be a help – getting started and staying focused can be a challenge for me. Doing something quickly with a nice turnout – how could you ask for more!

    I would focus on my living room. It is so boring!

    Honestly, I would focus on ALL of my rooms since I just bought my first house, but if I had to pick one it would be my kitchen because it’s huge. I’ve never had a kitchen that’s big enough for me to think about decorating it!

    Speed decorating seems like a concept I would enjoy reading about. I think my bedroom needs help, so that is where I’d concentrate first.

    Oh, I would surely choose the office/dining room/media center area. I’m overwhelmed!

    It would have to be my living room/dining room/office space. Unfortunately, my dining area shares space with a desk with 2 computers and a computer desk with a third. I’d love to learn what to do.
