Holly Becker is one of the most inspirational bloggers that I follow. Her blog, Decor8 is one of the very first blogs that I started following when I discovered the blogging world in late 2008.

As a fellow blogger with big dreams, I couldn’t be happier for her reaching this goal. Holly recently sent me a copy of the book and I have really enjoyed browsing through every page. The book is filled with inspiration on new ways to transform your home, including contributions and quotes from favorite designers like Nate BerkusAmy Butler, Amy Atlas and more. The photography by Debi Treloar is absolutely stunning.
