If our window at Bloomingdale's left you wanting more, here's a chance—well, actually five—to bring some of it home. First, some inspiration in the form of Style and Substance by Margaret Russell and the editors of ELLE DECOR. It's twenty years of design candy all wrapped up in a pretty little package. And for two of you, we're giving away your very own copies, signed by Margaret herself!
Next, how about some of that whimsical splatter wallpaper from Hinson? I've had it on my inspiration board for years now and was thrilled for the chance to finally use it!
For one winner, we'll send you a full three double rolls! That's enough for
a small powder room,
the inside of a closet or even
the backs of bookshelves.
Now, how about a pop of pink to brighten up the winter blues? If you liked the splash of color on the Italian brass chairs from
Buck House and aren't afraid of a staple gun, why not do the same to the seat cushions in your dining room? It's such a quick and easy way of
freshening up old upholstery with gorgeous new velvet from Hinson. Speaking of, three yards is the perfect amount for a big, beautiful pair of
pillows on a sofa as well.
Finally, we're packing up a pair of vintage brass candlesticks from my own collection, together with 18" tapers from our friends at Creative Candles in a punchy hot pink.
They're the perfect way to bring personality and flair to any room!
To enter, simply leave a comment, and we'll pick all the winners by random this weekend. Good luck, everyone!
I love contests!
