{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.
I would focus on my living room. I am thinking about changing it up and would love new ideas.
I need help with my bedroom. It has an odd wall and a walk-in closet that have been frustrating me for a long time.
What an interesting concept for a book. Please count me in for the giveaway! I’d probably focus on my master bedroom, which is currently getting a facelift!
OMG! Definitly my family room which I HATE!!! I would love to rip it all out and start over……OR have Candace Olsen come and do that for me:):):):) XO, Pinky
Saying that our living room needs some attention, is quite an understatement.
I’d focus on my living room. It’s a very large room with a high, high ceiling, lots of wall space, and very boring apartment-like eggshell paint.
I’d like a chance to win the book. thanks
P.S. wish you had gotten the job with HGTV that the gave to Heather Armstrong of Dooce. I can’t see where she has any experience in things HGTV deal with.
OH I would Love to redo my bedroom which needs some serious work. I would love to win the book 🙂
thnks
I would definitely concentrate on my powder room! It is in serious need of some kind of decorating–speed or otherwise 🙂
Our master bedroom needs all the help it can get! I would sleep better if this problem area was rectified.
I’m definitely needing inspiration for my bedroom first, then my dining area. This book looks so good . . . .
Thank you for a chance to win . . . .
Love to do my bedroom!
I desperately need some quick decorating help in my master bedroom. It still looks like a college dorm room & not the newlywed haven it should be. :-/
Since we are planning to put our house on the market in the next few months, we definitely need some speed staging!! Curb Appeal will probably be first though.
I would absolutely start on my dining room- it’s sad! Thanks for the offer!
Would love to have a copy of this book, if that should work out. Enjoy your blog. A serious decorating fanatic.
I would start in my finished basement, which I think we don’t use because it is not very warm or inviting. It is furnished and has a television, but I just haven’t been able to pull it together nicely. I need the inspiration I think I could find in this book!
Thanks for a great giveaway. My choice of a room to redo would be my master bedroom/bath area in my home. Love 7 blessings from NC!
What a fun giveaway….Would love to win it..
Living room – just really needs a great re-do
I don’t EVEN know where I would start. I have a problem of starting another room and project before finishing the last one. But I think I would most like to get my kitchen-breakfast room finished. So if this book would give me some fast make over ideas, I would love to have the give-away! Thanks for the opportunity!!
