*GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED*
Y’all know I’m passionate about design. You know I’m passionate about creating a refuge in our homes.
A.K.A that’s why I do what I do–and why I spend any free time I have pouring over shelter magazines, design books, and other blogs.
When my friend, Shannon, from {aka} design emailed me and asked me to review her, new eBook., I was so happy to!
Having written an ebook myself, I know what work went into this project for her, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
Here’s what Shannon has to say about her new eBook.:
A welcoming home is a cozy home: a place to feel safe, secure, loved. Creating that home for our family and helping others to do the same on a budget is absolutely my passion. I want to guide others to their perfect home. Not THE perfect home – that’s a myth! – just one that’s perfect for them. I want to help make their house (or condo, or apartment, or cottage) the home they’ve always hoped it could be: a welcoming home, a haven and a getaway from the occassional craziness of life.
I write our blog to share our projects and DIY ideas with our readers. I wrote Welcome Home to share loads of my tips, tricks & ideas all packaged up neatly and in one place. No complicated theory or super special skills needed. And no huge budget required either! It is very much on my heart to help others feel comfortable and proud of the homes they’ve been blessed with. I really hope my ebook helps in that way.
Don’t you love that? Not THE perfect home… I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what this little blog is about.
I love Shannon’s approach to decorating–reading through the introduction I felt an instant connection. A real-ness.
I felt like I was talking to a friend. The chapters on organizing (ahem), small space decorating, and the tips for sprucing up your home in 30 minutes were some of my favorites. Yes, please!
I have good news for you folks today!! Shannon is giving away 2 copies of her book!!!
