Hi Friends. It’s a SUPER exciting day today- it’s the launch of my ebook At Home for Less!!! I wanted to back up and tell you all about it (since I have been keep all of this a secret for far too long!). If February I came up with the idea of writing an ebook on how to decorate on a budget. I had just recently started decorating my house after becoming debt free and thought that I could share what I’d learned. I woke up early and went to bed late and used every nap time to write it. This book has definitely been a labor of love! The software I was writing on crashed right before I was first ready to launch and I had to start over again.
Then I had the idea to have my little sister Carli help edit it. She has been a writer and editor for magazines and I figured she would have some insight. Boy did she! She really helped me flush out my best ideas and took an OK book into a beautifully illustrated book that really teaches and shows how to decorate. It’s been fun writing a book because it has helped me grow my writing style which I think has helped the blog. I have had a few of my readers (you guys!!) pre-read the book and I have been blown away at their comments! The book helped them! It taught them and gave them aha moments! They actually decorated their homes because of what they read! Or threw away items that were junking their home! That is all I could really hope for. And now it’s ready for you to read! Here is a link to more information about the book and a sample chapter if you want to really see what it is about. One of the parts that I am MOST excited about is the illustrations. I have over 40 custom illustrations in the book that teach how to decorate. Here is the one on using balance when placing your accessories:
See? Isn’t that way better than saying something like “don’t place too big of accessories on a table?!”
The book is called At Home for Less: The Look you Want on the Budget you Have. I really, truly believe that you can have your dream home regardless of how much money you have! With just a little creativity and some ideas, strategies, and methods from yours truly and you can have that Pinterest pretty home!
For the first week (until July 22nd) the book will be available at $7.99 with the code launchlove. I had lots of people tell me that I should price it above $25 because of the amount of information in the book (its over 85 pages long!). But I wanted this book to be accessible to everyone! If you need a little help figuring out how to decorate, I am there for you with this book :). Here’s the link to buy the book. Please let me know if you have any questions! I am so excited to hear what you think of it!
