{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.
The master bedroom for SURE!
I know it’s not the most exciting room in the house, but my bathrooms are in serious need of a redo. I will start there.
Rhoda, I would love to have the book and besides I really need it! I read your inspiring blog everyday and have sent it to so many friends. Even if I don’t win I will stll be here everyday to ck.out what you are doing. Thanks.
I would love to have that book! Looks like it has some great decorating tips.
I would focus on my living room. That is the first room one sees upon entering my home.
We live in an old farmhouse that has a room at the top of the stairs. The bedrooms and bath is off this room. It’s nothing private but I would love to make it an extension of our bedroom…very serene and calm, a place to read, pray and think about the day ahead (or behind).
I need help with my living room. Sure could use this book…..
Wow! That sounds like a great book!
I could use some help with our master bedroom…
Oh gosh, I could probably use this book. I am the original slow motion, procratinating decorator when it comes to my own home. I really need to kick my master bed and bath into fast forward! Thanks for info and the opportunity, Rhoda. Looks like a fun read.
I would start on the master bedroom!
I’m craving a change in my living room! I like this giveaway. Thank you.
Sounds like a fabulous book! I would love to tackle both of my twin daughters bedrooms. They shared a room until recently and i would love for their new rooms to reflect their individual personalities. Thanks so much for a chance to win.
The living room! I strongly dislike our home in Italy so some better decor woud at least help!!! Especially since here all everyone does is either travels or hangs out at someone elses house. It would be nice if mine was pretty!!
Seems like a really awesome book!
Living area, love it thanks.
Hi Rhoda,
Sounds like a great book, filled with advice that’s perfect for today’s busy schedules and hectic lifestyles!
I also enjoyed the Suzanne Kasler/Ballard post you did. Great inspiration in her suggestions and in those clean, fresh-looking images!
Hope your weekend goes well.
Warmest regards,
Bill
My living room, which is oddly shaped with too many openings and has a sort-of dining room on one end. I cannot figure out what to do with it.
Great giveaway! I think it’s important to have a beautiful foyer, because that’s the first impression people have of your house (assuming you have curb appeal).
I would use the book for curb appeal I think. I also need some help in the kitchen and master bedroom! So I could use the book all around I do think. I mean really do we ever have anything exactly how we want it?
Ooo, I’d definitely want to work on my bedroom. So this book would be a great resource!
Wonderful giveaway!! I would start with my Kitchen, it could use some help!
Definitely the living room.
