Roger Davies, the stylist, and yours truly.
I'm thrilled to host a giveaway of the newly released book The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus with photography by Roger Davies. I can't quite believe I'm actually in it. My special thanks to Nate and Roger for a stunning book. Definitely worth buying.
It's not just lovely homes, it's the stories behind what we collect and our homes. Brace yourself: Nate recalls his life story, both funny and tragic.

the book will be as inspiring as Nate himself. he is a beautiful person inside and out and you are no exception. well-deserved! can't wait to see it on the newsstands! "merci" for the opportunity to win one!
Best of luck to you in your MBA program! Congrats to you and Nate, and thank you for the opportunity to win!
Oh Sandy how wonderful! You are such an inspiration to me. I'm so happy for you.
I love Nate and know his tragic story all too well. I remember his show when he talked about it. So sad.
I'm so glad you are in his book, you two are meant to know each other.
This is a fabulous giveaway!!! We can all use a little inspiration.
Congratulations on being in the book , your are a wonderful inspiration. It takes great discipline to study on-line, I admire your dedication. Hugs, HHL
through our own set of tragical circumstances, we had to leave our home of 27 years and move to tiny cottage on an island. it's been an interesting experience to build a new nest so to speak in a house that doesn't belong to us. i realize home is wherever you live and that you can still grace something that isn't yours with the things that are yours and decorate it with love. and hope. i would love to have this book....maybe it would help to inspire me more. i also love your little playhouse. it has been my dream to have one and i probably won't, but i can look at yours and pretend.
You and your studio are beautiful!! And what a lovely book :)
I missed hearing form you. Glad you are back to blogging and good for you for pursuing more education.
Sandy,
I can't enter ( Canadian!) but I wanted to say hello and check in. Life changes but not always for the worst. All the best to you in all you choose to do.
Congratulations on being in this new book which ,I'm sure, will be a great one! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Glad to hear things are good with you and enjoy your weekend!
xoxo
