Pssssst.
Guess what?
I WROTE ANOTHER BOOK.
CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT?
I know.
I get.
You are probably thinking WHAT? When did that happen?
I can’t help all the book writing.
I have a lot to say. 🙂
Books are like children.
They are all your favorites.
But don’t tell the others….shhhhhhh. This one really might be my favorite.
Maybe because you helped me write it.
Isn’t it beautiful? And the best part? It’s FUNNY, too.
Here’s one of my favorite quotes from the book.
Over a year ago, Melissa from The Inspired Room and I wrote all of you to ask you what questions you wanted to be answered.
And YOU SENT IN THE QUESTIONS.
There were literally zillions of them. We read them all and thought you were amazing and then we picked 101 questions to answer—starting with probably the number one question we get asked about: where do I put the couch.
We answered them like we were having coffee in fun, relatable, understandable answers.
And a few random stories thrown in.
(please act surprised). 🙂
There are HUNDREDS of pages full of the relatable, honest, do-able answers to all the questions.
And we start with the couch.
And where to put it.
And how to fit it into your room.
But that’s not all.
Melissa and I discuss space planning and paint colors and accessories and styling and organization.
And the best part?
It’s all the questions that YOU wanted to be answered.
The book just released and you can order it on Amazon here. and from Barnes and Noble here.
Thank you for being such an incredible support and encouragement to me.
None of this would be possible without you.
And the best part?

I have a question that I forgot to ask. Where do you purchase the vitamins you take! I could sure use some! You amaze me with all you do. It looks like a must have book.
Congratulations on the new book and thanks for the chance to win it! Love your design style!
I am so happy for you. You brighten up so many mornings, you deserve all this awesomeness.
Thank you for never leaving your blog readers behind. Many bloggers who have written books neglect their blog family afterwards and you continue to nuture your blog with the same enthusiasm and love you always have. Thank you.
Congratulations, KariAnne and Melissa. Can't wait to read the book.
A day with out KariAnne is like a day without sunshine!
I am combing through it now!!! Love the way it flows!!!
I am so excited for this book. I love all the comments. Thank you so much for contributing to this community of friends. Because that is what we are even if we haven’t met yet. You are touching so many lives for good.. I can’t thank you enough for what you do and for sharing your life and family. You are a treasure!
Congrats KariAnne & Melissa on your newest book release! Thanks very much for this awesome giveaway prize! My question is: Are there any "do's and don'ts" in colour scheme coordination for a cohesive flow from room-to-room?
Congratulations! You're such an inspiration! You know why? Because if I'm being truthful, I have zero interest in home decor. I'm really just a baker and a gardener. But still, I get your emails and click over and read!
Congratulations on your new book! I heard about it a few days ago when Yvonne featured it on her Stone Gable blog. Looks like a winner!

My friend loved the book so much that I just had to give her mine! So now I am waiting for one to be delivered. Then a friend of hers stopped at her house and saw the book and said it's an amazing book. Most likely another order! You and Melissa have hit the nail on the head with Where do I put the Couch! Great job to two of the BEST

I heard you talking about your new book on a podcast and am excited to read it. I am getting ready to buy furniture for a room and my house and I am wondering where to put the couch! I'm sure your book can help me.
Hi Karianne. Congrats on another book! I am looking forward to reading this one before our relocation from NY to SC.
Congratulations! The book looks awesome!
I'm new to your website and I enjoy your blog.
Congrats and keep 'em coming!
KariAnne, you must operate in a 26 hour day to be able to do all the amazing things you do! Where do you find that time to write another book? I want the next book on how you have the ability to do all that you do!
Congratulations on the new book!
This is exciting, the book looks excellent!!
Love everything about you and your blog! ;)
Congratulations to you... and many more (Books that is)!
How do I find a couch that fits both me and my husband when he is nearly a foot taller than I? Thanks for a great blog!
Wow, congrats. I never really know where to put the couch.
I love your blog.. Your stories brighten my day. I plan on ordering your book. Congratulations.
I love your Blog. You always make me smile! Congratulations on your newest book.
I pre-ordered your book months ago and received it this week. It’s GREAT!!! So many solutions to mr questions. It’s a winner
New book sounds awesome as well as this giveaway!! :-)
Congrats! I can’t wait to get my hands on it!
I have your other books and I am sure this one will be a really good also. I love your blog. We always feel good after reading it! Love your wit! Congratulations to you and Melissa on writing another successful book.
Thank you for helping me decorate over the years. Can't wait to read your new book.
can't wait to see it, i'm sure it's a beaut!
How invaluable to have your collective/collected wisdom at my fingertips!
I so enjoy your regular blog posts, and am absolutely sure the book will be extra fun and informative! Thank you KariAnne and Melissa!
I have a really small house. Do you have solutions for me too?
You are such a talented writer - I cannot wait to read this!! :)
congratulations - it looks like a very informative book!
Girl! How on earth do you have time to write a book, keep up with a blog, and take care of your family? Do you sleep????
My biggest decorating question usually deals with furniture placement. It's always too easy to fall back on the old idea of putting all the furniture against the walls. Guidance about that would be helpful.
Always learn something new on you blog..
Congrats on another book! I can always use decor ideas for our bookshelves and mantel.
Keep them coming!
Congratulations on your new book! I'm so excited to read it!
You are a ROCK STAR!!!!
I want to paint all my rooms in various neutral paint colors. How can I choose different colors that wont clash?
I’m thinking about ordering the blue striped chair you have but is it comfortable? I can’t just decorate for looks!
Should your exterior rock or brick match your interior fireplace rock or brick?
Cant wait to add this book to my other two !!!
Until I read this post, I hadn’t considered the couch placement might be the issue. Lol! Can’t wait.
Oh the questions I could ask. How on earth do you deal with 7-foot-off-the-floor (8 foot tall) ANGLED windows. On an angled wall. The angles don't match either?! With max 3 inches of wall above window. I have no problem ignoring the north windows, but the south one?!? What a PAIN! My living room is unusable at certain times of day/year!
Space planning is so essential to a room. Can’t wait to read the tips and the tricks.
Congrats on the book! In a new house and looking for a new couch & chairs. Trying to figure out how to place everything around a corner fireplace. Looking forward to reading your book! Never miss a post! Love your books & your blog!
Thank you for doing this! You’re amazing! I need dining room furniture and I love Wayfair
Can’t wait to pick up my copy! Thanks!!
Congratulations on another book! I am excited to read it!
How do you find time to decorate when life is so busy?
You and Melissa are two of my FAVORITE authors so I can't wait to check out your latest book! Currently, I'm trying to get the courage to strip my slipcovered sofa and loveseat and wash the covers. Anyone out there have some tips or advice?...
Looking forward to reading it!
I have a couple of Melissa’s other books and have enjoyed them. I’m sure this one will be a great help too....may get two for my daughter in laws!
Congratulations on yet another birth!! Can’t wait to pick up a copy!!! [dolphin clapping]
Can't wait to win this! Congratulations!
Way to go, Karianne! You have lots more to say. So, I hope you've started on the next one.
Can you have too much texture in a room?
So happy for you! If I won the giveaway, I think I'd start with the couch, too. Wayfair has lovey couches!
Can’t wait to read it!
Can't wait to read the new book. Two of my favorite bloggers!
Would love to win a copy...you have a very fun perspective
Of course it’s funny, and maybe a story or two is included! We would not settle for anything less, it just wouldn’t be KariAnne. Congratulations Pat
Congratulations on the book! So exciting! I'm looking forward to reading it! How about ideas for decorating a large wall when you don't' have tall pieces of furniture to take up any of the visual space?
Oh my gosh that is so exciting! From the snippets you shared I can tell the book is absolutely gorgeous ♥ I can't think of a home decorating question at this moment... we are currently looking for a place to either rent or buy so my creative board is not in use whatsoever. Actually, wait. What do you do if you have a lot of different decorating ideas/styles but are unsure which to go with? How do you choose what to follow?
What is the best size area rug to buy for a room and how does the rug need to be "anchored" by the furniture in the room?
Congratulations! Hats off to you for seeing the fruit of all of your hard work!
This book looks great! Signed up for the giveaway. MY question is how do you find a style for your home?
CONGRATULATIONS on your new book! I look forward to reading & learning lots from it!! What are the beginning & ending dates of the contest?? Today is September 23. When I tried to enter, a message came up stating that the contest was over! Did I miss it? Again, congrats & I’m so eager to get my copy!!
Congratulations to you and Melissa on your new book! I have just ordered a copy and really look forward to getting it. KariAnne, you are such a busy gal. I just don't know how you manage all you do! You always do such a great job of everything and we appreciate you so very much! Bless you, dear friend!
