Its those smiles that make the middle of the night feedings so worth it. 
She is starting to try to talk back to us with her sweet little voice now. She loves to have conversations and be where all the commotion is:) I wish I could bottle up some of this precious phase forever!

Oh, and who got her to smile like that? Her daddy of course;)

*CLOSED* DECORATE Blog Tour + GIVEAWAY!

July 8, 2011

“In Decorate, the world’s top designers and leading décor experts – including Kelly Wearstler, Amy Butler, Jonathan Adler, and many others – come together to share over 1,000 professional tips, ideas, and solutions for every room and every budget…”




I am beyond thrilled to be a part of the DECORATE book tour. The well known and beloved blogger, Holly Becker of Decor8, released this beautiful work of genius this year through Chronicle books! Have you gotten your hands on a copy yet?! Well I was lucky enough to receive my copy before our road trip, and I spent HOURS pouring over these pages!! I wanted to take notes and copy paste many of the rooms into my home;) 



Tangible tips, gorgeous decor, photography brilliance, and uniquely styled rooms that you can bet you have never seen before!! Just a few reasons, I am head over heels for this book,and plan on referencing it quite frequently when I move into our new home in a few weeks! It had to be such an adventure composing this book, so I asked Holly the following question:


What was the best part of composing this book, & what do you hope readers will take from it?
Working with photographer Debi Treloar and design writer Joanna Copestick – it was lovely to work with such professional women with years of industry experience. Traveling with Debi was especially nice, she was so helpful and since I’d never styled for a book before, her warmth and friendliness really made me comfortable so I was able to do my job and feel completely confident. I wanted Decorate to be much like my blog, decor8, to include a community of people, which is why I interviewed nearly 100 people and quoted them throughout — I wanted the book to feel a bit bloggy in that sense. Plus, I don’t believe I am the ultimate voice when it comes to decorating, in fact I don’t believe anyone is THE guru of design. Everyone has an opinion and a right to one because decorating is subjective and so I wanted to take the best advice out there from the design community and pull it all together so Decorate would contain a myriad of inspiring thoughts to motivate readers. With so many opinions in the book laying next to photographs, the reader is drawn in to actually reading the book and not just looking at the pretty pictures – the quick bites of text are fun to read — plus the point becomes clear to the reader with the flip of each page that there is no ONE single way to decorate but that you should allow basic principles to guide your journey though most of decorating is truly from the heart – your heart.




Don’t miss out on the rest of the book tour. Here’s the remaining schedule!:

July 11 – Simply Grove   July 12 – Elements of Style July 

13 – Apartment 34 July 14 – Mrs. Lilien  July 15 – Mint
