A book giveaway contest

We all know who Elaine Griffin is, unless you’ve been living under the rocks, her beautiful interiors have been featured in many Interior Design magazines. I personally love her lush elegant interiors and I am more than honored to host a give away of her “first in its kind” book, Design Rules, The Insider’s Guide to Becoming your own Decorator.  Elaine generously is giving her readers those great Interior Designer’s secrets that we all wonder about. I read her book over the weekend and it’s easy and enjoyable to read.
This book is a must-have for all those do-it-yourselfers who struggle with the basic how-to’s and ideas. Design Rules, The Insider’s Guide to Becoming your own Decorator will give you valuable advice and ideas to make your home the best reflection of yourself and your loved ones.
“If you are a patient and creative genius, make your own wallpaper from newspaper, graph paper, or gift wrap-affix to the wall with thin white school glue diluted with water to resemble a soupy paste…” is one of the genius ideas you will find in this Elaine’s book. But if you don’t believe me about how helpful this book can be, believe Margarette Russel when she says “…Translating the basics of chic design for the nonprofessional, she provides irresistible foolproof tips that make sense for every taste, style, and budget.”
To enter the contest, leave a comment in this post and I’ll select a random lucky winner next Tuesday, 24th of November. The book will be sent to the winner directly from Gotham Books Publishers.

    Lovely Julie, what a terrific giveaway! With so many design magazines packing up, we need to hold on to and support fabulous design books!

    I know of Elaine because I remember her putting in a Danish contemporary chair (or 2!) in a lovely room she designed. I pay attention to things like that! (:

    Happy week! OX Monika

    * Your assessment of Elaine's book is SOOO right on target~~~

    It just came a few days ago (from Amazon) & I guess I'm lucky (or rather, my HUSBAND is!) that I'm not that much into cooking anymore, as dinner surely WOULD have been burnt~~~ (I basically couldn't put it down! And am embarrassed to say I had never heard of her UNTIL I was told by a friend I would LOVE her book!)~

    I, too, at the beginning was rather shocked/disappointed at the lack of photos, but TOTALLY understand, as you do, the "WHY" of it… GREAT THINKING! GREAT BOOK!

    Best,
    Linda in AZ *
    (Plz don't enter my name~ it would be my luck to finally "win" something, but already HAVE it… and this book is a MUST to share with others! Thanks!!!)
