So many book-hungry readers! This giveaway reached its cap within 24 hours, and we’re excited to announce the winner. The lucky book lover is Melissa, who keeps her favorite books in a bedside cabinet, on an end table in the living room, and on a special display shelf in the family room — “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!” Congratulations, Melissa!
Our Book Release and Celebration Giveaway
Our new book has officially arrived, and we celebrated by sharing a collection of design and lifestyle books with our readers. Rather than giving away only our own copy, we gathered several titles from our shelf — many of them recent favorites — and added signed editions from a few incredible authors and designers. Below is the complete list of books included in the prize package. Items marked with an asterisk (*) were signed by the authors.
- The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus
- The Handbuilt Home by Ana White *
- Design*Sponge at Home by Grace Bonney
- Home by Novogratz by Robert & Cortney Novogratz *
- Style Me Pretty Weddings by Abby Larson * (releases next month)
- Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin *
What the Prize Included
The grand prize was a carefully curated bundle containing all of the books listed above. Several copies were signed by their authors — including Gretchen Rubin, Abby Larson, Ana White, and the Novogratzes — and one copy was signed by us. This package was intended for anyone who loves interior design, DIY projects, wedding inspiration, and practical tips for living more happily at home.
Original Entry Details (for reference)
When the giveaway was live, entry was simple: readers were asked to comment on the post with the phrase “BOOK ME!” and to answer a bonus question about where they keep their favorite books at home. The bonus question invited participants to describe whether their favorites lived on a coffee table, filled a bookcase, or snuggled on a nightstand.
- Prize: One complete set of the books shown above, including the signed copies.
- To Enter (when active): Comment with “BOOK ME!” and answer the bonus question about where you keep your favorite books at home.
- Bonus Question: Where in your home do your favorite books live? Are they on display in the living room, stacked on a bedside table, or lined up on a bookshelf?
- Giveaway Close Date: Wednesday, Nov 7th at 8pm EST, or when entries reached 10,000 — whichever came first.
- Number of Winners: One winner was chosen.
- Prize Shipping: United States only.
- Entry Limit: One entry per email address.
- Winner Selection: A winner was selected at random and announced on the blog the following Thursday.
