Hello Friends!!
Today is such an exciting day, and I feel so blessed to be able to share in the excitement with all of you! My NEW book, The Gift of Home, officially releases today! It’s because of you that this day is even a possibility. I started this blog because I truly believe that home is a place you should love to be in, and I wanted everyone to feel that way in their spaces. Even the meaning behind the name I chose for my blog stemmed from knowing that I can decorate my home nicely, without having to break the bank (you can read that story HERE). I have shared so much of the process of creating a spaces to love, through the lens of using my own home with you over the last decade, that to now finally have this message published in my very own book feels like the greatest honor, and I am truly grateful that you helped make this dream a reality. So to celebrate this book release day, I thought I would share more about what’s inside the book.
Come and Take a Peek ~
Of course you might recognize this photo, as this is the photo that we used for the cover of the book. It’s the view looking into the main area of our bedroom, from the small sitting room off it, that I dubbed as “the mom cave”.
I didn’t want this book to be just another “home decor book”. I certainly don’t think that I have it all figured out when it comes to decorating, but I also know that I long for others to feel happy in their own homes. Comfortable, welcomed, and truly content with how they feel about H O M E.
Even though I’m sharing my home, this is in no way a book just about decorating with farmhouse style. But rather, I share practical advice to help you find your own true style. Because after all, it’s your own true style that will stand the test of time. If we decorate our homes to simply follow the trends, then we will wind up feeling discontent, and ultimately dissatisfied with the items we chose to fill our homes up with. And that my friend is not at all how I want you to feel about your home.
Of course there are some familiar images throughout the book, because if you have been reading my blog or following me on social media for any amount of time, you will be greeted with pictures of our previous home that you know and love 🙂
Like this view below looking into our Dining Room ~
Or my other favorite view, looking from our Dining Room into our Living Room ~
But, there will also be some areas of our home that you haven’t seen before. Cozy corners, and well, utilized working spaces that allowed our home to serve our family well while we lived there.
My hope is that you will find just the right amount of encouragement you need to love your home, wherever that may be right now, and with whomever you share it with. Whether you rent or own, have toddlers underfoot, or are empty nesters, there is inspiration for everyone to help you view your home with a new perspective that makes you happy to call this space your home.
I believe that you don’t have to buy new, or have the perfect pinterest looking home, or the perfect family for that matter to love your home. That there are things you can do right now, in this season to help you transform your spaces, into places you love to be in. Spaces that reflect the kind of warmth and joy, and love you want your home to be filled with.
