Book Giveaway: Southern Living Style

October 19, 2011 · Comments are closed
Gracious hospitality, monograms and effortless elegance are what come to mind when I think of Southern style. Southern Living magazine has long been an inspiration of approachable interiors with Southern sensibility. Last month, the magazine released Southern Living Style, a new home décor book. Not only does it offer inspirational photographs of gorgeous interiors, it provides room-by-room decorating solutions and advice that can easily be adapted to your own personal style and budget. I especially love the before and afters – it’s always amazing how a fresh coat of paint or graphic upholstery can transform a dated piece of furniture.
Here’s a sneak peek of this great book:

The folks at Southern Living generously gave me a copy of the book to giveaway to a lucky Simplified Bee reader.

Entering is simple. Here’s how:
• Leave a comment. {provide your email if I don’t have a way to contact you}.
• Extra Entry – become a new follower of Simplified Bee’s Blog, Twitter or Facebook Page.
• Extra Entry – mention this giveaway in a blog post, FB link or tweet, then leave a comment letting me know.
• Please post a separate comment for each extra entry.
• Entry period closes at midnight PST on Wednesday, October 26, 2011. The winner will be chosen by Random.org and will be announced on the Simplified Bee Facebook page on Thursday, October 27, 2011.

Thank you so much for reading Simplified Bee & good luck!
