How do I love to decorate? Let me count the ways…Wait, I don’t have to count. Country Living did it for me in “750 Great Ideas for Decorating on a Budget: Transform Your Home, Inside & Out.”

This is a big book – almost as big as a phone book – and it’s full of large, colorful photos, many straight from the pages of the magazine.

The editors cover the whole house, from kitchen to bathroom as well as more than 20 pages dedicated to “overlooked spaces.”

Unique and inexpensive tips for planning a small garden, ideas for creative holiday decorating and a do-it-yourself section packed with hints for special paint finishes, crafting with vintage linens and ideas for unique displays for collectibles, will inspire even the most casual reader.

If you like Country Living Magazine’s mix of old and new, shabby and chic, you’ll find a barn full of ideas in this book.
