Book Review: Decorating for Real Life + Giveaway

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen a couple of images from book release party for Decorating for Real Life. I am thrilled to show you a few peeks at the party, the book and to share an Amazon affiliate link to where you can purchase the book.

Decorating for Real Life by Wendy Hyde @shabbynest

In addition to being a good friend and , Wendy works as an interior designer and the party was held in one of her company’s model homes…

Decorating for Real Life Book pArty 4I hope you will excuse my terrible cell phone photos, but I couldn’t help sneaking in a few photos of the home. It was a gorgeous mix of raspberry and navy blue throughout. I loved it!

Decorating for Real Life LightingThe dining room was stunning, maybe my favorite room in the house, but the best part about it was that it served as more than a show piece. It was really functional.

Decorating for Real Life

That’s really what Decorating for Real Life is all about. Great spaces that look gorgeous, but are easy to live in.

Decorating for Real Life CoverDecorating for Real Life is a gorgeous hardback book that features the real life spaces of every day people and provides a ton of great tips! The book debuted a couple of week’s ago in the top of the Amazon charts (yay Wendy!).

Decorating for Real Life Open 1You may recognize some of the blogger spaces featured in the book. Here’s a peek at section covering my friend Shelley’s house…

Decorating for Real Life Open 2And you don’t want to miss the section on Jen’s gorgeous cottage…

Decorating for Real Life Open 3

Decorating for Real Life is a beautiful coffee table book and would be a great reference tool if you’re decorating a new home, or maybe just updating an old one like I am!

Can’t afford the hardcover edition? The Kindle edition is available for just $9.99 and looks incredible on an iPad or Kindle Fire.

Giveaway

I can’t give away Shelley’s cute house or Jen’s gorgeous cottage, but I thought it would be fun to host a little giveaway today. The winner will receive a $25 gift card to Ikea.
