Let me preface by saying that I wanted to put together a much prettier and better post, but I have a sick child at home today… he has been throwing up ALL day!  So between changing sheets, doing laundry, rubbing his back, breaking up ice chips, putting on movies, and tending to Emmy as well… my time has been kinda limited!   Oh, and let’s not forget Charlie deciding that it was a good day to dig, so I had to bathe a very muddy dog, too.  And Charlie hates getting bathed.
That being said….

I have an awesome giveaway for you today!  The very talented Shannon from AKA Design has written an E-Book that will help you de-clutter and decorate your home!  The Book is titled Welcome Home: Tips, Tricks & Ideas for Creating a Beautifully Cozy Home, and let me tell you that Shannon certainly knows how to create a “beautifully cozy home”.  Here are some case in point images of her own home…

Shannon’s book takes you through a step by step process that is a fabulous guide for the novice or the seasoned decorator!  I read through her book and loved the approach she takes and found her breakdown to be so easy to follow.   And what is really fabulous about it is that she doesn’t tell you how to create this style or that style, but helps you find your own style.  Here is what Shannon has to say about the book and the giveaway!

“I’m so excited about this giveaway!!!
 
Creating a cozy home for our family and helping others to do the same is my passion. I love beautiful spaces. But I also I love it when someone visits our house and feels right at home putting their feet up with a cup of tea. Or when my kids sprawl on the shag area rug in the living room to play a board game. And I love when things are easily tidied up because everything has a place. I want to help others create the same welcoming spaces in their home. Welcome Home is my way of showing you how to do that.
 
My eBook is divided up into three sections. Part One is called Begin at the Beginning and it shows you how to do just that; a few do’s & don’ts plus three elements that make a great space. Part Two is all about where to find inspiration and how to use that inspiration. Part Three helps you get down to business with small space decorating ideas, budget decorating tricks and bargain shopping tips. Plus a whole bunch more all packed up neatly in one little package!
 
I’d like to offer up two free PDF copies of Welcome Home for Primitive & Proper readers. If you’d like to purchase a copy now and you win the giveaway, I’ll credit you back in full for your purchase. You know, if you just can’t wait! 🙂
 
Thank you Cassie for having me over today!!!”

    Would you believe this is my first giveaway that I’ve entered? Kind of fun 😉 So…I’ve already taken care of the first 4 criteria. So for #5…my biggest frustration is separating daily chores from work projects. If I don’t have a grip on one, then I lose focus on the other!

    Have a great day!

    I struggle with finding MY style – I will often try to emulate all the ideas I see on other blogs – but more recently I’m finally defining my own style! I love AKA Design’s rooms! Gorgeous!

    Biggest struggle… other than budget? I’m going to go with colors. I love colors but struggle with making the rooms seem cohesive if everything isn’t the same.

    My biggest struggle is decorating my bedroom. I want it to truly reflect me and my husband but its always a miss. I never get it right and change up the bedding more than I’d like my husband to realize. I wish I could get it together in there…bedrooms are supposed to be your soothing place :).

    My biggest struggle is my living room…it’s a very open layout that flows into my kitchen and my dining room, but the layout is incredibly hard to rearrange any furniture in. I just don’t have the vision! 🙂

    Oh! There are so many struggles in my house!
    I guess the most “public” or obvious one is the ginormous, over sized, hideous, white Italian, chipped marble fire place surround and mantle monstrosity (whew! that’s a mouth full!), and the china closet (which we are in the process of gutting) in what is now the living room of the house we purchased from my in-laws.

    In my living room, I have lots of dark, large pieces of furnture (entertainment center, book cases), so I have a hard time making the room feel light and airy with the dark furniture.
