Wow — you all really love great finds. After less than 24 hours of giveaway excitement, our random winner is joyfulcanary, whose favorite pieces are a $30 thrift-store china cabinet and her great-grandmother’s Hoosier cabinet. Congrats!
It’s not every day you think of chemistry students writing home design books, but we discovered that one of Sherry’s brother’s former classmates at Columbia co-wrote Good Bones, Great Pieces with her mother. The book shows how to combine seven essential furniture elements in any room for an elegant, cohesive look, and the authors also maintain a blog with additional inspiration.
To celebrate, Suzanne and Lauren McGrath are giving away a copy of their book plus over $3,300 worth of furniture and bedding so one lucky reader can recreate some of the looks from the book. The prize package includes:
-
The Hazel Settee from Jayson Home & Garden ($1,995)
-
The Navy Shop Chest from CB2 ($399)
-
A rectangular Atoll Mirror from Ballard Designs ($199)
-
The Cadman Chair from Pier 1 Imports ($199)
-
A queen-sized Light Indigo coverlet from John Robshaw ($420)
-
The Hydrangea decorative pillow from John Robshaw ($155)

- PRIZE: A copy of Good Bones, Great Pieces plus the furniture and bedding items listed above (total value over $3,300).
