{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 could use this book for the entire house, but I’d probably start with my living room. Looks interesting. Thanks for the chance to win!
My master bathroom needs serious help. I would love a chance at this book. Thanks for the gift away!
Sounds like a great book!
I would work on my dining room. It’s the first room you see when you come into my house. Sounds like a fantastic book!
What a lovely book! Looks like inspiration galore. I would love to do a makeover on my little guest room/office. Always on the lookout for ideas for all our rooms.Tomorrow is my birthday— 49 and holding-this would be the ultimate gift.
I need to decorate my living room. Three years ago we redid the fireplace, added hardwood floors, removed the popcorn ceilings and painted. There are no pictures or lamps in the room. Only a new couch and a chair with an ottoman. I almost forgot in the front window is a monster size cat climbing thing. The cat Beau is the only one who even goes in the room. I leave the blinds open 24/7 for him. I need some help with this room and would love to win the book.
I would love to speed decorate my living room! I have lots of things I love but not really any new inspiration on how to make it all ‘gel’ together! I hope I win so I can get some ideas!!
Bedroom! Doesn’t that always get put on the bottom of the to-do list?!
We bought a patio home and the living/great room just got a fresh coat of ‘rich taupe’ paint and now I need inspiration to make it “home” . =)
I would focus on my lr/dr combo. It would set the tone when you walk in our home.
Hi Ronda,
A few minutes ago I just finished putting my bathroom back together. After 20 years the wall paper was seperating, the toilet leaked until we had dry rot, and the floor was a mess. We stripped the wallpaper, painted the walls linen and installed new floor.I did take a picture today before I put the new L’Etagere behind the toilet and accessorized. I love your blog and I have you as a blog favorite. I would love to win the book. Our next project is to remove the wall paper from the kitchen and replace the floor. I need some visual aids.
Thanks
Betty
Hi Rhoda,
I’d love to redecorate my living room.
right now the room I’d focus on is our “bonus room”. Right now this is the laundry/man cave/studio. It’s small and the furniture I have in there right now are our leftovers and too big for the space.
Hi Rhoda!
I would like help decorating my computer room. This is a great space off the kitchen that could be a dining room, but my computer and large desk space take over most of the room. As a teacher, I write up reports and do a lot of paper work in here, so any changes would help make work more pleasant. Thanks a bunch!
I’d focus on my bedroom first…I just can’t seem to get it right.
Sweet dreams.
Oh, my! My kitchen, I think. Please count me in. Considering how long it takes me to style a single side table I can’t even wrap my head around “speed” decorating. Can’t wait to read this book!
I’d love to spruce up the master bedroom…and I could really use some inspiration!
I would love to win this book and would use it to update my greatroom which is open to my kitchen!
i’d focus on my foyer – it is large and open and i don’t know what to do with it! i could use the help 🙂 thanks rhoda for the opportunity to win!
The living room! It needs a update, but nothing major. A quick-a-roo makeover would be great!
