I live in Philadelphia, PA (USA). I love your blog and I’ve been reading it for at least the past year. I can’t remember how I stumbled across it, but it must have been a link from another blog. Two of my favorite types of posts that you do are the “Etsy Take 5 Tuesdays” and when you focus on color groupings – it always inspires fresh ideas for me. I can’t wait to check out your book!!
April 18th, 2011 at 4:11pm
Dear Holly,
I love reading your blog every day. I discovered your Decor8 a couple of years ago and from that day on I’ve been reading it daily.
About the question: What would you love to see/read more about on decor8 in the future?
It’s a hard question because I love Decor8 the way it is. But maybe it would be great to see/read more about interior design in Europe. I love the inspiring pictures you’ve posted and one of them even inspired me to choose the same colours in my bedroom.
I’m a Dutch student and I’m always busy decorating, trying things with colours and I can honestly say your blog is a great way to think out of the box and dare to try!
I really like what you’ve done so far so keep up the good work and I’d love to see and read more of your work in the future!
Yours sincerely,
Jorissa van Ginkel

Ooh, very exciting… the book looks amazing. Thank you for the give-away competition :)
I think I would love to see more of the same that you already cover, but especially home-wares and textiles by individual independent design companies doing lots of hand-made loveliness… mostly because that’s the field we’re in (!) – but really because I just love that kind of stuff and could spend every penny I earn on yummy things for the home! ;) Always looking for new finds :)
Congrats again on the book, and the launch – looked FAB! xo

I’d love to see more “before and after” shots of spaces you style or that are styled. Or perhaps someone has a collection of personal things and things they wish to display, they set them out in a pile, and you give an example of how to style them in their home! I think that would be great to see- you’re talented in this way, and I’d love to see what you do with real-life examples.
So excited about your book- I know it’s going to be a huge success! Congratulations on the endeavor!

Regarding you question: how about photography? I’ve always watched the compositions and the lighting closely but it will sure be different if it was from you. How about a weekly or even a monthly advise about to take such photos, how to show the best about a place or a interiors accessories? That is what I would love to read about :)

Wow! It would be so great to win a copy!!
I love the content of decor8, so it’s hard to say what I’d like to see more of, but I guess I would say perhaps more posts about concrete ways to infuse a space with one’s own personal style, passion, etc., that you are so great at promoting, in a budget friendly way. I love all of your examples of people incorporating items of personal meaning, and I work very hard to do that myself as well as help clients to do so. But…I know I have been very inspired by your ideas of ways to use/transform/modify easily found items (like budget friendly items from big box stores) to something more personal. I love hearing creative ideas of ways to “think outside the box” in terms of using items that most people could easily find and afford. While I love incorporating vintage and flea market finds, geographic location (some areas of the country/world just don’t have many treasures buried in the junk ;)!) and time constraints can make that more difficult. Of course, there is always wonderful etsy and ebay, but the more ideas, the better, I think!

Being that my husband and I live in a 1100 sq ft town home, I’m a sucker for small space design. I’d love to see more about creative ways to make small spaces look larger and also how to make common furniture items more functional.

The answer the question, as I would love a signed copy, I’d have to say outdoor rooms. I have a three-season porch (complete with hideous siding) that I can’t begin to know what to do with. I’d love some inspiration!

Hello,
I so would love to have a copy of this book!
In the future, I’d like to see more tips for cheap decoration. Not really DIY because I’m not really good at it, but things to learn how to “light” a small room, where to find beautiful things not expensive, how to “arrange” a small room to make it confy, or which small and easy details could do the difference. Small tips like that, easy to apply for those who are not really good at DIY but who are dying to give some “decorative touches” to their home.

We were in Bettmeralp, Switzerland after Christmas and I just loved how everything in the bathroom was OFF THE FLOOR! Toilet, cabinets, etc. Very cool. It’s these little Euro details I’d love to see.
Thanks so much. Take care.

Decorating beauty that appeals to and can be shared by both men and women at the same time is what decor8 excels in and seems to be what the book emphasizes.

Knowing of similar pieces, paint colors, etc. would make decorating more accessible for us all. I’m so excited for you! So much is happening in your life! Good Luck!

Hi Holly
I have been a faithful follower of your 2 blogs for years – and they have helped me immensely while setting up homes in New Zealand, USA, South Korea and now Germany (not at the same time)! I would love to see on Decor8 more real homes, with your tips on how to achieve the ‘looks’ for myself. I will be in London next week, and following your recommendations on your blog I am planning on spending a day in Liberty, Selfridges and Anthropologie – so if I don’t win here I will definitely pick up a copy there.

We are in the process of doing up our Victorian semi here in the UK and I would love to see more inspiration about putting the character back into a property. Mixing the old with the new, beautiful interior textiles, the more colour and pattern the better. I love interesting colour schemes and prefer those above an all white room. I would also love to get an insider peek into the homes of designers and artists.

Gutted I couldn’t get to Liberty’s when you were in London. A fabulous signed copy of your book would just about make up for it :)
For me roomsets and interiors are always my draw. Colour, pattern and texture but some rooms are never blogged about – small w/c’s, the pantry (!), the garden shed etc. Also maybe about statement pieces and rotating your artwork, vignettes etc
Keep me smiling

What a great contest, Holly! I have been waiting for one of my local retailers to start carrying the book but winning it would be even better than buying it ;)
As far answering the question: decor8 is already one of my favorite blogs but if I could add one thing it would be more “real life snapshots”. I would love to see more photos of your appartment, or Hannover streetshots. I would also love to see photos of your German friends houses. Kind of like the photos in your book, but more like unstyled snapshots.

HI Holly! I found your blog through Mary Engelbreit’s. I read Home Companion for all those years and loved it. Now I’m really enjoying your blog articles. I’d really love to see some examples of how to take something that clearly is not working-perhaps a room with too little light, or an awkward shape, and show how you would transform the space creatively and on a budget. I also love seeing artists homes and studios too~I love homes that are not over styled and perfect. ~thanks for all the inspiration!!
April 18th, 2011 at 9:46pm

Very selfishly, I would love for you to write about how photography enhances our enjoyment of your photos of interiors, collections, and table scapes.
It is intriguing to me to look at blog and magazine pictures to see how the product is both shown off well, and an appealing mood is set at the same time.
I would love lighting tips, display tips, etc.
I would also love to win your book.
I say “selfishly” because I have a website offering home decor items and will soon have a new site with a blog attached, and I would love to have better pictures! Thank you for the inspiration you provide so many!

Hi there Holly,
I’ve been reading your blog for some time and marvel at 1) how you always find the time for something new and fresh and 2) how you are ALWAYS so upbeat. It really is a treat that I look forward to.
As an Interior Designer with an ethical bent – I would love to see more “carbon-footprint friendly” solutions relative to one’s local area. I think it would be great to help people be creative and inspired by what is going on around them and not necessarily “need” the ottoman all the way from San Franciso …. ;-)
Best of luck with the sales for this this and all your future books!!!

I have always known that for design you have to have an eye. I’m decent with colors but with the shape and balance of room or placement of objects I struggle. I would love to see some basic and practical ideas on how to balance and create space in a room with object/furniture placement.
thanks.

I would love to read more about decorating childrens rooms. Particularly little boys as that is what I have. Whenever I look for inspiration I just seem to find nice idea for GIRLS! I’d love advice on the decor, furnishings and even storage. I’d like to know how to make the space no matter how big or small works and be fun for the child. It also needs to be easy to tidy up for child and, more often than not, mummy. I think anything for Kids is interresting.
I also love reading about special little accessories or knick-knacks that have been found and are just irresitable. Preferably in a price range that is accessable. An adorable throw or even be a shower curtain or such. Actually you wrote an article on Bathrooms that had a lovely “Fluffy” shower curtain that I LOVED!
The tone of your blog is Fun, light and interresting so most importantly more of the same please.

Wow… so many comments. Congratulations. It’s amazing to get a better idea of who your readers are. Ok… on to the question. I run a few vacation rentals in Buenos Aires. What’s important to me in choosing with whom I work is first the location of the apartment and second the design. Sometimes there are great spaces that just need a few touches to really make them pop. That’s what I’d like to see covered because whether it’s for the places I’m renting out or for my own living situation (which tends to be 2 years here and 2 years there) inexpensive pops can’t be beat. In essence, imagine you have to move into a drab place and make it a home without removing anything. Badumdum!

Guess what I do every night before sleep. I look at Decorate! I can’t walk very well right now. So…I hobble up the stairs and my husband says…do you want “the book?” The class and the book have been such a bright beautiful light in my life all these weeks.

Oh Holly, you cover so much already…do you have room for more??? :)
I guess as I sit and ponder on this….I would love to see more coverage on travel to “special” places/shows/shops/gardens etc…. you know, kind of like a board on what to do this weekend for folks who love Decorate Style. I have no idea on how to accomplish this other than start a Flickr site for people to submit photos of such places/events with the information.
I also think it’s so nice to see folks who are small “mom and pop” businesses who are trying to get their feet off the ground.
Ways to purchase items to benefit worthy causes?
I love your blog, and your concern for all of us readers….I ‘m not sure how you will add to or improve….it’s so great already! :)
Thanks for the opportunity to try and win a copy…I should be so lucky! :)

Would love to see more artisan furniture makers/designers featured, there are so many, worldwide, who are rarely praised/recognized for their wonderful creations.
I would love a copy of your book!

Holly I am so greatful for the lovely blog you have created. It is evident that you are a giver, you have shared everything with us -I’ve found wallpaper, knick knacks -books, information about so many things directly through the links provided on your blog. I always feel so included whenever I pop in and have learnt so much about myself and how to decorate my home with heart. I even started a blog because of you. I am so excited at the prospect of being able to have a paper version of all your great work to flick through time and time again. You are a true inspiration -as a mum and homemaker my home environment means so much to me -You’ve helped me so much create a home aesthetic that is meaningful and beautiful to us.

I recently moved from Montreal, Canada to Atlanta, GA and love tuning into your blog. It gets me motivated to get out there and shop everywhere. I love mixing modern and vintage pieces so I suppose I would love to see a little more of that. Sometimes I find it hard to mix together vintage and modern design so I definately need a little help in that department! Keep up the fantastic blogging and congrats on the book! :)

Decor8 is the FIRST design blog I found on the internet and I’ve been hooked every since. I think what I’d like to see more of is the process & philosophy behind putting a look together, maybe some educational & historical info about the pieces selected & styles selected – Chippendale chairs, Victorian design, Country French, Antique, Retro, Jonathan Adler… as I delve deeper & deeper into design, I’m constantly taking notes of things I’m not familiar with or want to research to better understand.

Hi!! What a great giveaway, i can only dream about your book!! ? I’m your follower for about a year already, and your site gave me so much inspiration!! I started learn photography because of your site by the way.. :) everything is so beautiful here! Just wanted to thank you, and for the Flickr group too (i always send my photos and see if you choose them or not, and i’m really so happy when you choose some of them!! :) it’s an honor for me). I love handmade, and your blog always inspires me.
I’d love to see in decor8 in the future
? maybe a column about different countries’ ornamental art pieces (you know something like Japanese teabowls or handmade Uzbekistan plates&dishes, African accessories or Russian gzhel etc…)
? i know it is maybe difficult but of course i’d like to see/read some tips ‘how-to decor8′ (how to stand bowls with flowers and take photos, how to select and gather colors together etc., something that can help to learn photography and simply that can help me to make my own home so beautiful as like homes on your photos :) )

Hi Holly,
This is Sarah, from Kingston, Jamaica.
I would looooovvvveee to win one of your books!! You have been teasing us with snippets for quite some time. I can’t wait to devour and savour those lovely pages!
…What would I love to see/read more about on decor8 in the future?
- I’d have to say that I would like to see more info on sourcing and techniques (DIY idea). I’m trying to transition to a career in interior design and I would love to know where the pros shop, where I can find great bargains and unique pieces… Particularly online sources.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!
April 19th, 2011 at 8:54am

Hi Holly!
Have all my fingers and toes crossed that the lucky winner will be me!!
It would be exciting to see more projects or ideas of thrift/vintage finds from yourself, or anyone, that can be upcycled into new useful creations! Also, I’ve always loved Color Me Pretty so keep that going – it’ll be nice to delve deeper into colour trends and explore any scheme that is possible under the sun. :)
April 19th, 2011 at 9:10am
I am not sure what I would like to see more on your blog. You’ve got everything pretty much covered! I loved your post the other day on Haus Maus about your flea market finds. Maybe more of that would be nice on Decor8.
Thank you and your publisher for this give away!

Hi Holly.
Wow, so many comments already! Clearly everyone wants to win your book :)
I know exactly what I would like to see on decor8: more about how you became so sucessfull! and maybe some advice for new designers and young bloggers…
I live in South-Africa and I am just starting out as a designer and blogger. I am loving both very much. You have been a real inspiration to me since the beginning of my journey.
Here we don’t have many sucessfull interior/ creative bloggers of your calibre. It would be really helpful and quite wonderful to get some inside tips from someone I admire.

Oh and kitchens because boyfriend and i haven’t found the perfect kitchen yet

Some DIY regarding decoration or sewing would be very nice (love the lights that you posted some time ago).

Hi Holly
First of all, well done on your new book – I know there has been a lot of work to get to where you are – sit back and enjoy it for a good long while. :-) On Decor8 I would like to see a greater emphasis placed on the stories behind the work – learning more about the designer and their passions. I think it would be great to hear how people got to where they are, what inspires them and any advice they may offer to those beginning on the design path. It could be a weekly, fortnightly feature with interviews about designers that perhaps have inspired you or do you ask people to write in with their own suggestions and reasons why a particular person has inspired them. So Decor8 encourages as well as inspires…! Another suggestion, would be a day in the life of..? Sometimes the design life can be lonely especially when work is beginning and you have very few ‘contacts’ or work is slow (I think this is reasoning blogging exists in the first place – connecting with people who are on a similar wave length). It would be good to document what happens on a normal day for a designer, where to do they find their inspiration, what happens when they get a mental block etc? You could have varying designers – designers who run an etsy shop from their home…all the way to designers who work for big publishers. It could be that varied and interesting!
What ever is in decor8 in the future I know I will be tuning in indeed. I read decor8 on a daily basis and it cheers me up. I want to end and say thank you for all the inspiring work that is here already. It is great to see you do so well and is an inspiration to us all. I look forward to reading more blogs already…:-)
April 19th, 2011 at 10:35am
I gave a copy of your book to my mom for mother’s day so it would be fab to have my own copy!

What a great opportunity! Actually, last night I dreamed about this book and you presenting it somewhere near me, isn’t that funny? It only can be a sign for me to try my luck :)
I love everything you write on your blog, and find your personal stories about life in general and the way you deal with new opportunities particularly inspiring, since you have such a great vision of things, so humble and sensible, but also so brave at the same time. They always give me strength not to fear the future and believe in my dreams!
Also, I love your posts about styling tips for the home, and seasonal decorations.
Have a great day!

I would love to see a decorating challenge tackled on a regular basis, maybe once a week. A before and after of a corner of a room, tabletop, art wall, etc. that needs an imaginative designer’s eye. It could be you as the designer, Holly, or maybe a guest’s ideas to complete the re-do. I would enjoy learning how you go about finding the perfect object to accent a space. What shops, thrift stores or websites were you able to use to do your magic. Make it simple and economical, we’ll be sold! Everyone likes to feel empowered enough to try a small-scale change themselves. You could show us how each week.
I love your blog and would cherish a copy of your book!

Thanks for contest. I’d like to see posts about “seeing” like a decorator. You gave great advice about going to favorite stores & noting their visual display to learn from them what could work in our homes. Yes! such a simple but helpful idea.

Hi! I’m Christina, I live in Grand Rapids, MI of the USA. Normally when a contest reaches over 800 entries I wouldn’t bother but MAN OH MAN would I love to have your book!
Something I’d really love to see on decor8 is tips and techniques for accessorizing homes. Like how to create a vignette, and links to specific accessory products.
Your blog has been an incredible source of inspiration for me. Thank you for everything you do!

Also I love before and afters, they really show possibilities for spaces. It is encouraging to see how problems can be solved in different ways.
April 19th, 2011 at 5:25pm
One of the things people tend to always compliment me on is the ability to find thrift store, yard sale, cheap finds, or things just lying around the house that you’d never think to turn into something else into gorgeous decorative pieces in my home. I find that constantly seeing and reading up on ways that others get creative keeps my mind freshly able to come up with ideas of my own and keep the possibilities endless when it comes to my own interior design ideas. I would love to see some diy’s and posts on how to make everyday unexpected things into gorgeous pieces in a home. In general just more of a way for the everyday person who may not even have a clue about interior design or have the resources to go out and buy a whole new lot of things for the inside of their home a way to make it a little more beautiful either through refurbishing or using things they already have on hand. Walking people through it will help those who want to learn to be more creative learn the process and direction of those who already are. Summarized: Shabby-Chic, DIY, and Creative Process. A bit of inspiration is always good to get the creative juices flowing! ;)
Thanks for all the great ideas already!!!

I absolutely adore decor8. Thank you for all of your hard work and scavenging to find the most beautiful and inspiring imagery and artists to share. I know you have your etsy finds that you highlight, as well as designers, photographers, and decorators, which is always a treat. I think, with the whole DIY crafter movement really making a comeback, it would be cool to hear more about people who are hand making their craft, and hearing their stories about how the are breaking into or have broken into the retail market. You showcase so many lovely things, it would be cool to learn how these creative people stumbled their way into the world of commerce. just an idea. Thanks a million!

Something I would enjoy seeing on you blog is posts about being more organised….
I imagine many of your readers are collectors and some may even be hoarders (I include myself in this group!) and at times I really struggle to keep on top of all the beautiful things I pick up along my travels. I would love to see examples of how many other bloggers, crafters, and collectors find ways to organise their homes.
It has been lovely to see all your hard work on both the blog and the book being given the credit it deserves!

What I would love to see more of on Decor8 are articles and posts about the adventures and design journeys of other decorating and design bloggers – written much along the lines of your recent heart rendering article of your own journey. Told like a sort of ‘journey journal’, with images of all the stops and start destinations along the way. Particularly taking into account the gifted handcraft artists of today. I am absolutely hungry for those type of posts.
Good luck in going forward for the whole team involved in your book and your blog. Finding your blog was to me like finding a big nugget of gold.

My favorite thing about your site is your honesty and inspiration that shines through in your own words and experiences that you share. I know how much you inspire me to turn even the simplest of my dreams into a reality.

Congratulations on the beautiful book, Decorate! The pictures you posted are very inspirational… I can’t wait to see the rest. Over the past few years I have enjoyed reading your blog. I would love to get more detailed advice on hanging groupings of pictures and choosing the items/artwork to showcase over a mantel. Also, any creative tips for organizing are always a plus!

I would love to see more easy little ideas for brightening up my home… for example cute things with indoor plants, or ways to make my yucky brown sofa a bit brighter (I can’t afford a new one!) Just simple ideas for making do with current big pieces of furniture. Hope that makes sense!

Curious about your take on personalizing a house when every house on the street is the same floor plan (military housing) definitely more fun when people can walk in and feel surprised . . . but it has to be fast, inexpensive and easy to return to standard issue when it’s time to move – my favorite thing to do is remove cabinet doors in the kitchen, least favorite is to paint – more ideas would be great.

Wow, its clear to see how inspirational your blog is to so many – the book is a fantastic way for us all to have a permanent reference book in our homes to keep inspiring us to go for it and follow the ideas, and examples you give. I’d love to see more before and after shots, specifically what were the main points of inspiration that you started with and the journey or steps taken for the finished product/decor/design and see how it evolves. Maybe you could have some readers send in once a month their journey of redecorating and how they used your suggestions and ideas and the steps they took – this also helps to inspire people and give them the oomph some of us need to think if Mrs Joe bloggs can do it, then so can i!
Great blog to track regularly and keep up the great inspiring work!

Although I like your blog the way it is need to answer the question right? :)
It would be great if you coulf show more interior tips on a budget, things you can make quick and easy with items not too expensive like flea market founds etc. Also more home tours please ! And some inspirations for garden and balcony would be cool. Wish you a nice Easter holyday with loads of Ostereier ! Greetings from Duesseldorf

I can’t wait to see the inside of your new book in person! I’d love to see design solutions to problem or hard to decorate spaces. I had a corner in my living room that was the bain of my decorating existence. I searched all over online to see if I could find ideas and nothing! I ended up coming up with a solution I was so happy with on my own, but it sure would have been nice to see examples of how others dealt beautifully with the issue I was facing. I’m sure there are many problem areas out there that we’d all love to see how other’s decorate over or around such as awkward corners, hot water heaters, ugly brick, walls covered in barn wood (my current issue), etc.

Your content is really great, but I particularly like it when you propose a “conversation” and ask readers to interact on a particular topic eg. ‘is your life all about blog content’ so I’d love to see more of those type of pieces. They always have a particular point of view and make for interesting opinion.

I just recently found your blog and love it! It is very inspiring. As someone without the “eye” for decorating, I would love to see more posts about the “process” of decorating . . .the different layers that go into decorating a room, how to bring colors/patterns together that go well together but contrast each other a lot too, just stuff like that. For beginner decorators it would be a huge hit!

First, I can’t wait to see your book! Second, I like your blog postings as they are, especially because your unique style is so evident in everything you write/present/show, etc. In that vein, I’d love to see more posts (with pix, of course!) that explore your style as it translates to events — formal dinners, informal tea parties, birthday parties, etc. For instance, how do you re-purpose things you already love, or add to them, to decorate for a bridal shower or something? Something else that could be cool is some kind of problem/solution post, where a reader sends in a picture of a problem room or area and you (perhaps along with a panel of other design bloggers or friends) offer suggestions, with project ideas, links to products or art work, etc., again that help readers translate the elements of your style that they love into their own environment.
And I think it goes without saying… giveaways are always so much fun! ?

I found your blog a couple of weeks ago, and I wish I had found it much sooner. You have so much on here, and I love all of it. All I need now is the time to sit down and read it all.
On what to add, maybe some photo categories so new readers, like me have an idea of what they might find.

i would like to see more of your home!

I would like to see a post on how to start furnishing your first house from scratch.
Thanks!

I’m a newbie to your blog, been loving it! I just started building my design book collection and would love to win this prize! I would like to see more DIY project ideas. Thanks and keep up the beautiful inspiring work!

I have a shelf in my bedroom and I have no idea what do put on it to make it look nice. I tried grouping some picture frames and vases, but it doesn’t look good. I need help!

Congrats on your book! I would enjoy seeing more diy furniture building/customizing ideas if possible, tho I think your blog hardly needs suggestions for improvement :-)

I fear that DC will not be on your US book tour…although it should be since we do love us some Anthro around here (I remember buying things from the first MD shop over 15 years ago!) SO – this may be my only chance for a signed copy! Fingers crossed.
As for what I’d like to see more of on Decor8 – it’s hard to say since you generally introduce me to so many new designers, shops, etc. I guess I’d be interested in hearing more behind the scenes stories about Decorate. It sounds like producing it was quite the adventure and it would be fun compliment to reading the book.

Your blog is already wonderful and such an inspiration for the rest of us out there in cyberspace. But, with summer approaching, I wouldn’t mind seeing more outdoor decorating tips – especially inexpensive ones!
And, here’s to the next book!
April 21st, 2011 at 5:37am
I LOVE home tours, and I appreciate styling tips and recommendations of great decorating blogs and online magazines. I also enjoy the Etsy Take 5 Tuesdays and when you showcase small, independent businesses. Thanks for all the great info and inspiration.

Holly, I love your blog. You seem very down to earth and a humble person. It totally shows on your posting. Thanks for inspiring me to decorate with my heart and be less judgmental of ourselves and others…
Decor8 is perfect as is.
Thanks Much :)

Hello from Uruguay i would love a copy of your book i’m moving and remodelling my new apartment. Your blog it’s a great source of inspiration.
I would love to see more storage and small places solutions. Especially kitchens, i’m moving to an old art decó apartment and the kitchen is so tiny it’s giving me headaches. As the other uruguayan above (hi there) winning this book would be probably the only way to actually get it.
thanks.
