Giveaway: Barclay Butera's book- Living in Style

So I assume everyone has an incredibly made bed after Barclay Butera's post on making a bed properly.  I hope you picked up as many tips as I did by reading it.  And if that isn't enough, Barclay Butera is back to giveaway his book to 2 of our readers!  That's right, two of you will have the pleasure of receiving this fabulous book in the mail.

Barclay Butera's book



The book is amazing.  Seriously.  Let me just show it to you myself.  I received the book in the mail and couldn't stop drooling over the beautiful pictures of Barclay's work.  It is un.be.lievable!  It's a hard bound book with over 175 pages of pure beauty. Here are some of my favorite pages.

I love Barclay's work. I am lucky enough to be able to go to the Newport Beach Shop, and always come away refreshed, and with a ton of inspiration.

My bathroom needs a major re~do! The ceiling paing is actually peeling right now, I'm ashamed to admit. A totally new bathroom would be fabulous, but repainting and new molding should take it into a new look, along with some glorious new towels, of course. Thanks for showcasing Mr. Butera...he's a gem!

What a great book! How fun would that be?!

I'm getting antsy to redo the master bedroom. I loved it when we did it 3 1/2yrs ago, but it just seems like time for a change. (not to mention that the wall where a tv was mounted then removed was patched and partially sanded, but never refinished...) I just need to find exactly what it is I want to do-still waiting for inspiration to strike!

um, what part of my house doesn't need sprucing up?! There isn't a room here that is finished! But if I had to choose, I'd say it's our boys' room. It needs a whole new look - one that is past the baby nursery stage but not yet the teen boy. Everything seems so themey - or grown up - or babyish, I can't decide on something that will work!

Wow - beautiful book!!!! I always love to have some inspiration when it comes to my home or work. This would be great - thanks for the chance to win it!!!

When we moved in to our current apartment, we intended to use the second bedroom as an office, but instead it became the storage room. Now it's just heaping mounds of junk. I definitely would love to get it organized and turn it into a space we could/would want to use.

Fun giveaway!

My master bathroom needs serious help. I'm in the process of painting the bathroom cabinets. Which means I pulled all the doors off a month ago and have them sitting. I really need to move on that project!

Wendy said...

Would love Barclay's book! I have been researching and preparing to help my girls with their rooms. Then I will tackle my own. We could all use a little new paint, new linens and maybe a new arrangement of furniture!

thanks for the chance at the book!

I need Barclay's book!! My hubby and I both work the majority of our day from our home office(s) and it in major need something. I want it to be a place I love to be in but am happy to leave.

Chelsey said...

Our front yard needs some serious curb appeal! It looks like every other yard in our neighborhood (except worse). I need some inspiration!

Allison said...

Girls, I totally need this. My laundry room needs some H-E-L-P of the highest order. I hope 12 is the lucky #!

Barclay Butera has fantastic style--there's no doubt about it. Would love to have his book. While, thanks to his tips, my bed might be well-made, our master bathroom is a bit lacking. We remodeled prior to having kids. Being extremely busy people, we figured that leaving the bathroom with just a shower was fine. Two kids later, we're so sorry we didn't put in a tub. With so little time to relax, it would be fantastic to be able to take a warm soak in the evening after the little ones are asleep. The only question now is how do we fit everything in . . . .

The book looks fabulous! I need help with a guest room that needs to double as an office. I hate guests to feel like they're sleeping in an office/studio, but that's the primary function of the room.

I. want. that. book! I would love to redesign the baby room into a guest bedroom with a crib to the side. I hate that I can't have guests sleep over. It would be awesome--one room, two functions.

Karen said...

I could certainly use this as inspiration for my kitchen - wouldn't that be really awesome! Good luck to me.

I'm itching to redo our master bedroom. Well, it was never actually "done" in the first place...it's just kind of been ignored since we moved in. Paint, crown moulding and new bed linens here I come!
