A Touch of Farmhouse Charm – Book Release Day!

The release of Liz Fourez's first book, A Touch of Farmhouse Charm - available now!

It was two summers ago when I first got the email from a wonderful publishing company asking if I would be interested in writing a book. I think I read and reread that email forty times just to make sure they didn’t accidentally send it to me by mistake. I’ve always been open to the possibility of taking my ideas beyond this little blog, but did I have what it takes to become an author? I had no idea.

Fast forward a few months to October, and I had successfully negotiated a contract with my publisher and signed on the dotted line. Still unsure of whether I was worthy of such an opportunity, I sat down with a pen and paper and started writing down ideas and making to-do list and marking important deadlines on my calendar. After five crazy months of house projects and kitchen renovations and late night writing sessions and thousands of photos, I turned in my manuscript and said a little prayer that it would all turn out the way I pictured in my head.

Today I am so proud to say that my first book, A Touch of Farmhouse Charm, is now officially released and available for purchase, and it turned out even better than I ever imagined in my wildest dreams. I poured my heart and soul into this 192-page book with 70 brand new home decorating projects, a room-by-room tour of our home, and the story of how we completely renovated this little 1940’s farmhouse. It feels pretty surreal that my book release day is finally here!

Thank you is not enough to show my gratitude for your support while writing this book! After fourteen months of hard work and determination, I get to end 2016 by adding “published author” to my title. Wow… I am almost speechless, guys! I’m sure 2017 will be another wild ride, but I cannot wait to see what the next chapter will be for Love Grows Wild.

    Congratulations Liz. I know we’ve all been anticipating this day and it’s finally here and I can’t wait to get the book. It’s been on my list at Amazon ever since you first mentioned it and I recently sent it to my husband and kiddos so surely one of them will get it for me for Christmas; I certainly hope so! If not it will definitely be an after Christmas gift to myself.

    My pre-ordered copy arrived this weekend but I’m trying my best to keep it under wraps until Christmas morning. My hubby and I just moved to the mountains and we’ve been working around the clock to re-define the style to modern farmhouse. Our renos will be the Christmas gifts we give to one another…except for one particular box from Amazon. 🙂 Can’t wait to read it!!!

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Later this week: sharing a home decor shopping trip to a store I’ve never been to before, photographing my office (just wait till you see how big of a difference adding some shelves in here made), unboxing tons of new spring items for @lovegrowswildmarket, and adding some artwork to this blank wall!

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺

One of the biggest challenges in this space was finding the right size furniture to maximize the small space & functionality without sacrificing design. She wanted to keep the house light, bright and airy while still feeling warm & cozy, and this feels like the right balance with soft whites & grays paired with wood tones & natural fibers. 

You can get all the details on this MASSIVE renovation & all the decor sources on the blog!
