Yahoo! It's finally done!
You know I love writing about decorating and design- but my first e-book, "Creating an Inspired Home", is about much more than just another pretty space.
It's about injecting and reflecting your spirit throughout every nook and cranny of your home.
It's about conquering design-related fear by harnessing your imagination and enthusiasm.
It's about surrounding yourself with feel-good rooms, and understanding why they work so that you don't have to keep re-arranging your furniture or wasting money on things that don't even fit.
Design can have such a positive impact on the way you live, which is exactly why it's so important to create an atmosphere dedicated to you, and the ones you love.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author, editor and entertaining expert, Matthew Mead wrote my Foreword...
...and I'm absolutely thrilled to have had the opportunity to get his stamp of approval on something that is so very near and dear to me.
:-)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Creating an Inspired Home" is an interactive e-book, so as you actually flip through the pages- you'll discover links leading to other pages, as well as to various websites that I love. You will also have the opportunity to highlight sections or quotes that you want to remember with a neat "note" feature. And, last but not least, you'll even see me pop up every now and then in some short video segments as well. Here are some outtakes that didn't make it into the book...
To get the book, you'll need to download a free DNL reader. It's sort of like Acrobat Reader, and ensures that the book will stay free from viruses. It is located on the "Download E-book" page at LaylaPalmer.com. Once you've successfully downloaded the DNL reader, you can download the first few pages of the book at no charge. This is just to make sure you can actually view the book on your computer before you purchase it. A link to purchase the full book is included on the last page of the free preview pages.
And that's it! :-)
"Creating an Inspired Home" can be found at LaylaPalmer.com, or by clicking on the banner below. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to email me.
Happy Monday, and Happy March!
Layla

Layla,
Wow, I just read all of your book! You are awesome! You covered so many things that are so important! You can't get this much information in any design book that I know of. It is very informative & easy to understand. Congratulations! You know what, I have missed Cottage Living & Country Home so much since they stopped printing their magazines. You have filled that void!
Thank you!
Maria
Layla,
This is a Mac house and I will have to wait another 30 minutes for Thomas to wake and look at my laptop. He is the IT man. I can't wait to purchase and read this! Thank you for writing it. Thank you for your blog. Thank you for being part of each of my days, my friend.
This is going to be a huge success! (I'm not just talking financially.) You have reached you goal! How wonderful is that!

Hi Layla: I'm new to the decorating and blogging world and can't wait for my toddlers to go down for naps so that I can read the book (and soak it all in!). It did take a little more effort on my mac to download, but I was victorious ;)

I just started following your blog a few weeks ago and you have inspired with your designs! I'm going to have to download the ebook! Congratulations on it. Thank you for sharing your design ideas/finds on your blog! :-)
Loved it. So helpful!!!
Layla and Kevin, I'm so excited for you two and can't wait to read the book (I've downloaded already). I know this has been a labor of love and I'm proud that you have accomplished this and have it available for all of us to read. Best wishes and looking forward to more from the two of you!
The out takes were so cute. I can't wait to purchase it. I loved the blue shirt you were wearing and could not help but think you needed one of the necklaces that I make to go with it. I would love to send you one as a congratulations and a thank you for giving me the courage to begin creating my own "Inspired home"
Hooray!! Good for you Layla, I am excited to check it out, can only imagine the lovely pics/ideas that are waiting inside!!
Does anyone have any hints about downloading the book... I have a iBook G4 ? I can't download
The e-book looks exciting! I will definately be purchasing it.
I have a question about the black cabinets. Do they show more dirt or fingerprints than before? We have five kids and antique white cabinets. I can't tell you how much dirt & koolaid manages to make its way onto our cabinet doors.
Thanks so much for your time.
Wow Layla! I'm so happy for you. You're blessed to do what you love and we are the blessed recipients!
I can't wait to read my free pages and am hoping to be able to purchase too.
Congratulations to you.
Just downloaded the book and can't wait to read it!!!
You are my very favorite blog and I love everything that you do....and Kevin too!
Layla,
I was excited to download your new ebook, but after I downloaded the program and purchased the book, I can't find it to open it! Please help.
How fun! And what an accomplishment. So happy for you! I'll put my order in. :) I hope it is a wild success.
Amazing. Congrats to you, you deserve it. I want one! Its going to be great! ~lulu

Congrats, Layla! This is so cool for you.
can't wait to see this. By the way if anyone needs the new Fleamarket Style magazine, I have in my actual brick and mortar store, or you can email me at teresaburke@foothills.net and I will ship it to you.
I have a reader question for you- kind of random but what band is your hubs with?
Found my answer- Nevermind!
What a great, great idea! Can't wait to see it. I am off to see. :) Lidy
Hi Layla,
Congratulations and I'm so excited to get your book!
I downloaded the first part but the button to purchase the book didn't work - I have a PC, any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your inspiration and for your wonderful world :-)

I just went and purchased your e-book and I am in the middle of reading it and am already so impressed with all the info that you give. There are things in there that I had never even seen in any of my other home decor books (trust me I have many). It is also very easy to understand and the pictures are beautiful. Now I just wish I had a hard copy of it! HEck maybe that is next for you! COngrats and keep them comin'!
I love your eBook!! I've watched/read it and I have so many ideas...can't wait to get started!!
Love the out-takes!
Well, no need for me to ask if you ship internationally. As I so often have to.
I just downloaded it and like it so far. It must have been a lot of work.
Take care,
Marianne.
Enjoyed your book so much! I had to print it out though so I could hold it in my hot little hands :)while reading! Great job, Layla!
Blessings to you & Kevin,
Sindy
Why does my messages keep getting removed ?
You're SO adorable! I can't wait to buy this. :)
What's the name of the song playing in the background of the outakes? I really like it!
Congrats! I can't wait to check it out!! I know it will be absolutely wonderful and inspiring!
Amy
Kevin and Layla, so fun to see your hard work come to fruition! I am very excited about your book!

GREAT book, Layla. Wow, I am so impressed with the amount of information in there. Loved the little video's, the advice, it's perfect. Congratulations again. Hope you sell millions. xo
The Space Planning alone was worth the $12!!! We are towards the end of working on a foreclosed property that we completed gutted and redesigned. We will be downsizing when we move in, so we'll have to make some tough decisions on what furniture will stay and what will go. The space planning section made a light bulb go off in my head, thank you! Love you both, and keep up the great work!
I have the knowledge of saying I knew her when!! Before she rocket-ed to the big time.
Good things are rolling your way, I can feel it!

Just purchased your e-book...it's beautiul, Layla, and oh so inspiring! I love having the "heart" of your design and decorating philosophy altogether in one place (well, sort of! I know it's ever-evolving:). Thank you, and congratulations to you and Kevin!
Congrats! The book is wonderful! I saw another reader asked the same question - DID YOU PAINT YOUR KITCHEN CABINETS WHITE??!!!! I was in shock when I saw that picture! Do tell!!!
