I always enjoy upcycling & creative reusing ideas. More content related to that would be awesome for me!
I just love KariAnne’s beautiful home. The topic I would like to see more about in your blog is decorating with an eye toward being environmentally friendly. Re-purposing is a big step in that direction, but I would like to see more information on which products (paints, etc.) have a lower impact on the environment. I would also love to see more organizing ideas that do not require plastic. Thank you! I look forward to your posts every day.
I wouldn’t change a thing about what you show on your blog. I look forward everyday to see what you have posted to inspire me in decorating my home. I love that some are very inexpensive to make or recreate. I don’t have a lot to spend on my decor, so I look for ways to decorate on the thrifty. I would love to win Karianne’s book for more inspiration.
Thank you! Linda Marie
Her house is so beautiful. I categorize my style as boho granny chic farmhouse
I’d like to see the issue of purchasing hardlines (sofas, chairs, entertainment centers) for the farmhouse style addressed.
I love DIY and crafts. Anytime I find something shown on the blog, I want to make it. I can’t make them all but enjoy seeing how something is done, all the steps involved. I would truly enjoy winning one of KariAnne’s new books. Thanks for offering it to your readers!
I am so impressed with the lovely art that you put out on your blog, and the fantastic roundups!
I would love to see a tour of your home!
I always wonder about your personal home style! I feel like it might be like my own to a degree because so many of the crafty things or room reveals are ones I’ve seen because we must read the same blogs or lead me to other great new blogs!
Would love to see more posts that include “rustic” farmhouse/cottage decorating and DIY ideas! I really like incorporating wood and metal into my farmhouse design. And love…love…love…your DIY posts – keep ’em coming! Thanks Andrea!
I love reading what you have to say and show us! This should be the winning comment if I’m not the only one this is happening to. The print on your blog(?) Is so faint I have to really squint to read it. Yours is the only one like that so I don’t feel that it’s my phone. The titles and things you put in bold or bigger type are great. Also, Zulily gets shown in your space just as much your words and pictures do. They take at least half of each page. Google tells me, when I complain, that that’s the way advertising is. I don’t know but as hard as I struggle to read you, I probably deserve something. Have any of your other readers told you this? Anyway, I’ll just keep struggling. XOXO
I love the look of this home. I really enjoy your content. I would really enjoy the book. If I don’t win (fingers crossed) I will buy it. Thanks!
Gasp! Everything is soo adorable. Love your site and all the positive suggestions. I’d love to see makeovers using more red hues… i love the look everyone has using whites and blues but I tend to gravitate towards red but am an EPIC fail when it comes to bringing it into my home… it overpowers or competes with everything else. I know its not the “in” color right now but I need inspiration. I just want “pop” of red like everyone shows with the blues. THANKS!!
Hello!
I always appreciate any hints on how to be stylish, a little bit trendy, and creative on a small budget. Repurpose, reuse, and recycle is my mantra so any ideas and instructions on projects is always welcomed. Who doesn’t like to save time and money when creating the place that says “HOME”? I adore any suggestions on creating an atmosphere of warmth, fun, and laughter for family and friends. Thanks or all you do to give me ideas and tools to do so!
I really enjoy your blog just the way it is. I love seeing the many different styles of farmhouse decor! if I had to suggest something it would be to see more thrifty ways to add to my decor. I really love the decorator hacks. Nothing is better than discovering ways to make high end looking items on the cheap! I’ve been trying to find my style. I like so many things, that it becomes difficult to zero in on my favorites. I would love this book! Thanks for everything.
I would like to see how the decorating process begins, ie do I start with the flooring, walls, furniture? I also think it would be great to see a list of etsy websites that carry farmhouse/vintage items.
I love your up cycling/restyling ideas and would like more of those. Also the Ikea “do-overs” (tired of the word “hack”…) and repurposing common items.
I love your content! If I had to suggest anything it would be more on upcycling, re-using and repurposing items already in your home. I hope to win the new book!!
I follow KeriAnne and your blogs; I find you both so inspirational! I like farmhouse style with a touch of whimsy and color. I overall wouldn’t change your blog too much, but I did enjoy your vegetarian recipe posts of the past. I love your artwork, especially when it is of animals and whimsical creatures.
I would love to see an occasional post about our fabulous senior creators (read I) could use our personal style to show off what we are now. Incidentally, KariAnne’s home is just delightful and I imagine yours is too! You show me yours I will show you mine 😉 Paege
I’ve liked everything so far that have been in the emails that I’ve received. My only problem is I have no idea what my style is so I never get started. I do think I am going to put an industrial hanging rack in my laundry room. I’m still pushing that around. So I’m pretty desperate to find my style. I want to wish everyone good luck on the giveaway!
I would love to see a round up solving different decorating dillemas. I enjoy your blog and would love to win this book, it looks great. Thanks!
Hi Andrea! Thanks for hosting this giveaway, and thanks to KariAnne for providing such a treat for your readers. That upstairs bathroom is calling my name with its touch of coral (Pantone color of the year, anyone?). I always enjoy seeing the bloggers you feature here and being introduced to new, fresh talent. My favorite projects to see are ones that take ordinary objects and create something extraordinary. Breathing new life into something old or vintage takes a certain skill, and I love the message it sends…that there is beauty in everything.
I love your blog with all the talented DIY ideas and up cycling hacks! I would say just keep the farmhouse decorating DIY’s coming. I would really love to win a copy of KariAnne’s new book. You’d think as a senior lady I would know my decorating style but I could really use some help with figuring it out! Thank you for participating in giving away copies of KariAnne’s book.
I would like to see some info on paint colors used. Seems like everyone has an opinion on what is “the” best gray, white, cream, etc., color to use. Love the color in the bathroom and living space! Thanks for the change to win a book! 🙂
Love the blue and white. So crisp and clean. My style is farmhouse. Enjoyed the tour of your home.
I love everything about your blog, and I look forward to Saturday mornings to go “Down the Rabbit Hole”. lol
Thanks for a great giveaway!
