House Proud the book {Give Away}

 

I am most happy to offer my readers and followers another chance to win a signed copy of House Proud the book by interior designer, blogger, and now author Valorie Hart.

The book is signed by the author, the Vamp herself {love your house and it will love you back, Valorie Hart xo xo}.

It is also signed by J and I at the beginning of our own chapter, Chapter 7 {From our home to yours…Cheers! xoxo}

I was elated when Valorie asked J & I if we would be interested to have our Uptown home featured in the pages of a coffee table book that she was working on. That was in the Spring of 2012. I jumped at the offer and could not wait to have our home photographed for the publication. See photos of the photo shoot HERE.

Our home was photographed in June 2012 by photographer Sara Essex Bradley. Valorie was on hand to help style vignettes throughout the rooms of the home.

Once the photos were taken, J & I filled out a long questionnaire from the author to help her with her homeowners’ stories.

Then, I waited with baited breath until last month when I finally received my copy of House Proud from the publisher. OMG! I was speechless. I could not wait to rip the package open and view the photographs selected for the book. I was also impressed that the entire chapter 7 is devoted to our home. I cannot wait for you to see our home and the homes of other Louisianans.

From Amazon.com:

Experience the joy of decor and design, restoration and rebirth, color and comfort - all in the enchanting locale of Louisiana. A New Orleans-based interior designer, Valorie Hart expertly leads a private tour of the most fashionable homes in the state. Sara Essex Bradley's photographs document the personality of Louisiana's homes, from the formal Greek revival house to the warm Creole cottage, the pre-Civil war beauty to the kitschy 50s-style ranch, the grand Victorian to the modern urban loft. This is not simply a design inspiration book, but rather a thoughtful compilation of homeowners' personal stories of restoring and redesigning their dream houses - the stories of the "house-proud."
In addition to Debra Shriver's foreword, Hart gives her creative expertise on repurposing furniture, displaying art collections, creating extra rooms, and rethinking storage. Hart presents us with today's Louisiana homes: the feel of southern hospitality married with a look of contemporary chic.
