Today is my final day of work for this week, I’ve decided that since I run my own business I am entitled to take normal holidays off just like everyone else. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and though no one observes it here in Germany, I decided that I am taking it off anyway! I’m also taking [...]

I have a surprise for all 400+ of you who entered the decor8 giveaway for a free copy of the just released book: The Creative Entrepreneur: A DIY Visual Guidebook for Making Business Ideas Real by Lisa Sonora Beam (founder of The Creative Entrepreneur blog/website). Remember how I told you that I’d select 5 winners? [...]
I was pleased when Julia Rothman wrote in earlier this week to tell me about her wallpaper. I’ve been very busy over the past few days and haven’t been reading as many blogs as usual so I’m not sure if this made the blog rounds already. If so, my apologies for repeat content.
I’m so proud [...]
I feel like there are so many great shops on Etsy right now that to simply mention 5 is not enough today. I’m going for 10 if that’s okay with you (just for today!). Plus it’s a short work week, I’m taking Thursday and Friday off so I can give you a little extra since [...]
I’m so excited to share The Creative Entrepreneur book today because I spoke with my contact at Quayside Publishing Group and she has agreed to do a giveaway here on decor8 - 5 books for 5 very lucky readers (1 book per winner in other words)! I’ll tell you how to enter below, but for [...]

You may know Rachel from her brand Shabby Chic based in southern California. I had [...]

Before you head off for the weekend, click on over to Home Base Collections to view Leanne Culy’s gorgeous range of textiles for the home from table runners & napkins to lamp shades, and cushions in three sizes. She has greeting cards and her fabric looks so good as upholstery too. Have you heard of [...]
I’m always fascinated with end of November through New Year’s here in Germany… the winter activities are non-stop and most are outdoors which I think enhances the mood so much more than indoor festivals. Who wants to congregate indoors for a winter fest when you can stroll outside in the crisp winter air, twinkle lights [...]
Did you enjoy the discounts this year? I hope so! I thought that since all of the decor8 discounts have been posted that I’d make it easier by creating a little guide below grouped by offer expiration date. I’m not including those that have already expired, only what will expire either tomorrow or on November [...]
This is the last discount for the year here on decor8 so if you’ve been dragging your feet remember that most of the discounts I’ve posted end either November 21st or the 30th and that’s it! I’ll pull together a post in just a moment highlighting all of these discounts to make it easier for [...]
