One more day.

One more amazing, incredible, awesome, 24-hour day until this book launches into the world.

I cannot thank you all enough.

Seriously.

You have cheered me and encouraged me and made me laugh and smile and cartwheel my way to the finish line.

I’ve been working on this book for over two years.  Two summers ago, I traveled all over the country, photographing bloggers houses and styling rooms and discovering all the things about each individual style mentioned in the book.  And then?  I wrote my heart out.  I wrote stories and worked on quizzes and put together DIY projects for each style and filled over 220 pages with photographs and tips and helpful advice on how to find your individual style.

And now?

You are about to meet the DIY Style Finder.

AND I CANNOT WAIT.

Here’s the idea behind this wonderful, beautiful, amazing four-color decorating book.  It starts with a quiz that you take to determine your style.  Then I explain the different types of styles and specific elements and decorating tips for each.  We traveled all over the country and photographed different bloggers’ houses in different styles.  The book walks you through each of the spaces in the home and gives you tips and inspiration for each of the styles discussed in the book.

My style for this book?

Coastal.

We went up to Cape Cod and photographed my family’s beach house.

Here’s a sneak peek at the dining room.

There are pages and pages of decorating inspiration.

And tips.

And hints.

And stories.

And DIY’s.

The book releases TOMORROW and it’s available for pre-order today.

You can pre-order it here. 

And if you pre-order the book by March 4?

GUESS WHAT?

YOU GET A SIGNED COPY OF THE PLANNER FREE.

I know, right?

Two books for the price of one.

But that’s not all.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.  It just gets better and better and better.

I wanted to do something extra special with this book.  Something that would make the stars shine a little brighter and the angels sing and the houses across America smile from ear to ear.

I wanted to create a decorating community.

A special place.

A home away from home where we could gather and talk about the book and learn our style and tell stories and decorate our houses together.

And so……

(insert decorating drum roll here)

If you pre-order The DIY Style Finder, I want to invite you to be part of the brand new DIY and Decorating Community.  It’s an exclusive Facebook group for members only.  I’m hosting weekly Facebook lives and giving helpful tips and inviting you all to upload your decorating dilemmas and share what you’ve learned from the book and there will be tons of encouragement and giveaways from some incredible brands and general happiness and giggles and merriment.

It’s my little corner full of joy on the internet.

And I’d love for you to be a part of it.

    Hi I’m trying to enter the giveaway & I’ve taken the quiz but I don’t see my entry- I just seem to be going around in circles! It’s too bad because the giveaway is perfect for me - I’m Coastal Style in the quiz which is spot on 😊

    Just as I expected, I’m all over the place ~ Farmhouse & Transitional tied, with Traditional coming in third! Several times I would want to alternate styles ~ especially with pillows, table settings, etc.! Loving this, cannot wait for my books to arrive. (I’ll keep the autographed copy, share the one I purchased earlier!!!) Thank you, sweet lady!

    I'm finding I'm selecting answers from many styles. I can't seem to narrow my style down to one or even two. I have a feeling there are others like me that just like "a mix" in their home. Congrats on yet another new book, Karianne. You haven't disappointed yet, so this one will be a winner too!

    I'm so excited about your book! I loved seeing you on Nashville's Channel 5 Talk of the Town, and was fortunate enough to catch you at the Country Living Fair. Loved your old Kentucky home, but it's been fun watching your new home transform too. God bless you and your family!

    Congratulations once again, I took your deco style quiz and came out with a mixture of Traditional/Transisitional at 44% and 22% comtemporary

    I am Transitional. Not sure what the definition is for that term (in regards to decorating style) but I feel like I am traditional, eclectic, french country, primitive mix (so maybe transitional fits me). Thanks for the giveaway!! :)

    According to the quiz, I am mostly farmhouse with some traditional and a little coastal. I thought I was more traditional and some farmhouse.

    Tomorrow I’m taking the quiz. I have decorated for Easter and spring already. Since I have the book, I can check how off my decor is from what I should have used or arranged.

    I took the style quiz and Traditional was my top result at 40% tied with Contemporary also at 40%. Followed by Farmhouse at 20%

    I took the quiz and am 50% Coastal, so I guess that has to do with being a Mainer lol. I am also 30% Farmhouse and 20% Contemporary, so I guess I am quite the mix!

    My style is farmhouse and traditional. I like classic pieces, but also the look of wood and writing on barnwood.
