You’ll get a good peek inside, and many of my blogger friends are also sharing peeks and some are even doing their own versions of my makeovers this week.
You may have seen the cover project a few times. 🙂

i think i’ve seen the faux suitcase dresser before, but i swear i don’t remember it being ‘faux!’ i love it and am really excited to have your book delivered to my front door!
Cheryl says
JEN, IM SO EXCITED TO GET YOUR BOOK. IT IS GOING TO BE A HUGE HELP TO ME. I TWEETED, PINNED AND EVERYTHING BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT A URL IS. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME SO I GET THE CHANCE TO WIN ONE OF THESE AWESOME PRIZES?
Cecilia from Georgia says
All your work is so unique. Can’t wait to see your book!
Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Hi Cheryl – thank you! The URL is the web address of your social share. So on Twitter, find your tweet and then click where it has the timestamp. It will either have a date “May 28” or say like “21h” for example. When you click on that, it will open your tweet in a bigger window. Then it will also show a URL like “twitter.com/(yourtwitterprofile)/status/(lots of random numbers)” Copy that URL and paste it into the giveaway form. It’s similar for Pinterest. Click on the image you pinned to make it larger. Then copy the web address that you see, and paste it into the giveaway form. “pinterest.com/pin/(lots of numbers)” I hope that helps!

Thank you so much Gwen! I did a faux suitcase dresser several years ago on an IKEA Rast for my son’s bedroom, but it was smaller and simpler. You might remember that one. 🙂

Marcie Lovett says
Congratulations, Jen! I’ve been following since you first starting talking about it and it’s so exciting to see it’s in print. I love that suitcase dresser and can’t wait to see what else you have in there.
Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Thank you so much Janet!! 🙂 I’m thinking of keeping that one for my son! LOL
Melissa says
Just pre-ordered and can’t wait to receive it. That suitcase dresser is on my list-love it-just need to start hunting for the right dresser.
Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Thank you so much Melissa! I’d love to see your project when it’s finished! 🙂
Kathy Edmonston says
Jen, I have been inspired by so many of your projects, but the reason I appreciate you so much is that you are willing to share by making available tips and techniques in such an easy to understand way. Btw, Christy James (Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer) also gave tribute to you last week or so by doing a chair a la your beautiful dresser on the cover of your book.
Can’t wait to see what you do next!
kim batten says

Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Kathy, you are so sweet – thank you! 🙂 Also- Christy is a good friend of mine, her stenciled chair turned out so pretty!
Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Marcie, thank you – I appreciate that so much! I hope you love the book!! 🙂
Nancy Sartori says
How exciting! I’m looking forward to receiving your book… I’d be interested in staining and finishing tips. That always seems to confuse me.
Congratulations to you and best wishes. Love your work!
Diane says
Just pre-ordered your book Jen, can’t wait to see what’s inside!
Tracey A says
What lovely Makeovers! I just love your style!!!
Mary says
I am also super excited to get the book. I will be doing the suitcase dresser first, I absolutely adore it. I tried very hard to try for that awesome prize, however I was not able to enter because I couldn’t find the dang URL it’s non existent on my Pinterest page. I did everything just so til we got there. I am not very savvy at this technology thing, but I can read and there was nothing of a URL #. Is there an easier way to enter for that wonderful prize? I give up. Thanks for your response in advance.
Jen, Girl in the Garage says
Thank you so much Tracey!! ❤️

Your luggage dresser is incredible. Great luck with your book. I tried to enter the giveaway but it just keeps spinning. Maybe I am too late to the party.
