GIVEAWAY - Alexandra Stoddard - Creating A Beautiful Home

When Meredith talks, every one listens. And when she said that Alexandra Stoddard was an author to hold on to, I have been grabbing everything I can by her. LOL!! So much so that I grabbed TWO of the same book. ANd that means GIVEAWAY!!! :)

I provided the link to the paperback because that is what has the reviews, but I am giving away the hardback.

I know how I would be using this... We'll be putting our house up for sale in the next few months (waiting for military orders) in a very slow market. Anything that will help me stage the house would be wonderful. Then, I would use it at our new home. ;)

I have been trying to get this book when I was a member of BookMooch. They never had one available. Lots of people were in que ahead of me in the list.

Also, I tried to follow your Meredith link but it did not work. It may be my computer. i would love to win this book.

I love to decorate my home, however it does not come naturally and I rely on visual aides.

Fingers crossed.

Alexandra Stoddard has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. I remember sitting in the stands with the rest of the band during basketball games, ignoring the game and reading my friend's mom's Alexandra Stoddard books!

I don't own this book of hers, though! I love reading her inspiring words; they always make me want to get up and do something great to my house!

How would I use the book? I'll have to read it first to see what it inspires me to do!

You know, that book remains one of my all time favorites! I recently bought it in hardback, too (from the thrift store).

Even if the cottage style is not your look, Stoddard's everyday grace notes give you so many ideas for enjoying your home.

I'm already a member. I don't have this book. It looks like it could help me decorate my home.
