{Random Things}Decorate

Hey everybody!  I started taking a blogging class about a month ago called Blogging Your Way after seeing that two of my favorite bloggers, Leslie from A Creative Mint and Holly from Decor8, were the teachers.  I absolutely loved it, and the knowledge I gained was priceless.  If you're wanting to become a better blogger I would strongly recommend taking it.  

That leads me to my topic of the day, a review of the book Decorate.  It was written Holly Becker, of Decor8, and Joanna Copestick.  I bought it a few days ago, and I've already looked through it over a dozen times.  Flipping through the pages just makes me happy. 

The book is great because it take you through the design process from start to finish beginning with space planning (SO important).  Next it helps guide you in finding your own personal style, and gives you invaluable tips on how to do so.  Then it walks you through some examples room by room.  Last, but certainly not least, it talks about all those little finishing details, from lighting to floral design.  This is often the part I have a hard time with, and it's such a big part of the finished result. 

Well there you have it.  I definitely recommend you pick this book up!  You can pre-order it on Amazon or you can buy it right now in-store or online at Anthropologie.

I hope you're all having a great Thursday!
