… birthing this book baby of ours! Seriously, somebody get us to Lamaze class. Yup, it’s coming in early November (our official “due date” is the 6th, although it varies slightly depending on where you look). Excuse me while I practice my deep breathing (hee, hee, hoooooo, hee, hee, hoooooo).
Perhaps the craziest part about it is that this might be the longest baby gestation ever recorded – over three whole years! Seriously. Labor of love could not apply more. So for everyone who has been asking about pre-order details, you can click on any of the logos below to pre-order from any of these affiliates. And of course don’t forget the local guys – the book will be available at your favorite bookstore, and if you stop by, many local bookstores can pre-order it for ya too. Fun fact – pre-orders don’t just score you a discounted price, they’re also good for us authors too. And we hear they can show up before the actual release date, so that’s another added bonus.
Speaking of a nice long gestation, this was John’s Facebook status almost exactly a year ago (and yes, that’s the Jamie you know from this post).
But today somehow we’re holding a 336 page mocked-up book full of hundreds of house-sprucing ideas that are about to go off to the printer this week to be made into a real life book. Like one you can hold in your hands and read and put on the coffee table. Actually lots of them since it would be weird just to print one. As for what it’s about, it’s definitely not a formal decorating bible with designer terms and upscale rooms. Please, we’re not that fancy. It’s more of an idea book for folks like us. A heaping portion of doable and affordable suggestions to pick and choose from – and adapt to fit your home. Some are more involved, some are super easy. Some are free, some might be something that you’d save up for. Basically it’s the blog. Only a book. And instead of getting a post or two a day, you get 243 ideas with photos, checklists, tutorials, and illustrations galore (along with bonus tips, sidebars, and added commentary). And a little dorky humor a la us.
Wait, and did we mention that we packed it with over 200 photos and 100 illustrations that have never been seen before on the blog? I guess we just did. In fact, none of the tips in this book are just regurgitated from our blog posts (zero cutting and pasting here!). Some of the general ideas and basic tutorials may be familiar (how could we not include must-have how-tos like painting furniture or upholstering a headboard?) but we wanted to present them in a fresh way. So instead of seeing the same table that I painted three years ago for the blog, you might see a brand new dresser makeover that we secretly completed back in January. Sure it was extra work, but we really wanted the book to look fresh and be full of different “takes” on a ton of decorating ideas – both classic and unexpected (and pretty much everything in between).
It’s so funny because we distinctly remember every single phase: signing on with an agent well before Clara was born, writing a 100 page proposal in 2010, pitching it to publishers and picking the right one for the job right after moving in 2011, turning our proposal into a complete book outline and then a complete manuscript right around New Year’s, shooting for three straight weeks in our house back in February of this year, and then refining and proofing and proofing some more, and finally – finally! – sending this baby off to be printed. Whew.
Whirlwind? Yes. Lots of fun? Yes. Lots of work? Yes. Still feels like it’s all a dream? Yes. One big, flipping-the-house-upside-down dream…
So needless to say, when we look down at the final layouts and triple check that we didn’t write something like “hang your fart” instead of “hang your art” (don’t worry, we have proofreaders) it really is sort of a chest-swelly moment. Not in that “we’re a big deal” way, but in that “we didn’t know we had it in us” way. I mean, of course when we signed on to write a book we thought we could do it, but as we went we kept saying “ooh, wouldn’t it be cool if we added this too?” – and every time we did we’d worry if we had just bitten off more than we could chew. But oh happy day we didn’t! We survived. We lived to tell the tale. We wrote the book we were dying to write. And I think it’s going to feel even more unreal when we’re actually holding it in our hot little hands. There might be tears the ugly cry.
And since the final cover has officially been pinned down, we thought it would be fun to chat about that process, since it was completely different than we thought it would be (as was almost every aspect of writing a book – did you know you edit the entire thing with a pencil on printed layouts over about five to six rounds of revisions – there’s no computer involved at all?!). I’d say the two overall most surprising things about writing this book were:
- how little the publishers changed the inside of the book (aka, the meat)
- how much the publishers have to do with the outside (aka, the bread)
Isn’t that funny? Every time we submitted outlines and even the final manuscript we expected tons of crossed out stuff and rearranged stuff and suggestions about what to move/do/change. But other than typos and grammar fixes, it was really all us. Which is kind of awesome. I mean, in the book we’re the same pun-loving weirdos as we are on this blog. I guess we somehow thought they’d try to “polish us” but they totally let us be us. Our freak flag is waving, baby. And we’re so grateful.
Then when it came to the cover, we learned that most authors actually only get to give “feedback” but the publisher always has the final say. Thank goodness we love our editors and they seem to like us back, so it was a pretty collaborative process in the end. First we shot some of their initial concepts amidst our three-week photography extravaganza back in Feburary, and out of all three cover concepts there was one that we did our darndest to wiggle out of: putting our mugs on the cover.
We just didn’t want to be sitting there (or standing there) posing in some styled room because… I don’t know… it just felt so… serious. We really wanted the cover to feel playful and happy and fun (it’s not a lofty book about box pleats, it’s a happy-go-lucky home idea book). So after we shot all three concepts, including some terribly awkward photos of us sitting on the sofa like this…
… we heard they officially weren’t going with the pose-on-the-sofa idea for the cover (they agreed that it was looking really forced). Wahoooooo! We celebrated. There might have been an entire box of Oreos that were sacrificed to the We’re-Not-On-The-Cover Book Gods (by way of our bellies). Then about a month later we heard they were going with a fourth concept that a new designer came up with (with us on the cover, but not as big, and not us posing in a room). Whaaaaa? Here was the very first draft they sent over just with initial ideas from their team:
We opened the PDF while holding our breath… and then we stared at it for a while. And then we realized that we kind of liked it. Not because we’re on the cover of course, but just because of the vibe. The playful look and feel of the different typefaces, the wood letters, the blue stitched spine detail, the paint can in the O – they were all fun and cheeky and definitely not stodgy or serious. Of course the designers asked us for feedback, so we gave it lots of thought, still kind of cringed at the idea of seeing our faces on the cover, and offered up a few general suggestions like:
- what if we made the spine more of a teal tone and less of a baby blue?
- what if we added some house keys hanging at the bottom from the “e” in the word love?
- what if we used wood letters in a chunkier, more modern font?
- what if we took ourselves off the darn cover? (this became a joke, how many times we tried to weasel our way out of it)
And they came back with:
- Sure! Color picks are just preliminary, so you can definitely weigh in on those!
- Sure! We love that idea!
- Sure! We’ll get them hand-carved by an artisan in the typeface that you pick and then shoot them in a studio so they look real and have real shadows (how cool is that?! they were made just for the book, and yes we have totally begged them to send them to us so we can keep them forever!)
- Nope, you’re staying right there. Everyone here loves that it makes it personal and it’s not a giant stiff looking photo so hopefully you’ll learn to love it too.
Oh and some other changes happened over those months of development. Some tips got changed to bonus tips instead of numbered tips (to help keep the page count – and therefore the price – from getting too high). So we ended up with 243 tips, which is our lucky number (it’s old pager code for We Love You, which we thought was fitting). The subtitle also got more specific thanks to some focus-group feedback. So here’s the final design – mocked up to look 3D:
Clean and still fun. Not too kid-ish, but still playful and cheeky with that awesome zing of color down the spine and a few more pops on the front and back. We also love how there’s a mixture of masculine (the wood letters) and feminine (the scripty ones). And everything from the stitched spine to the paint can and the house keys feels – I don’t know – homey?
Just for kicks, here’s the front, spine, and the back (the back is so much fun up close since our website’s heart background is subtly worked into some of the colored boxes):
Thanks to that teal spine, we think it’ll look so cute on a coffee table, or even stacked between our horse head bookends with the other decorating books that we love. Can’t you picture it squished in here?
As for why the book cover doesn’t look like our blog header, we actually thought that wouldn’t be a good idea since:
- It’s kinda boring if it’s a direct lift from our blog
- The book isn’t just repackaged blog stuff, so we didn’t want the cover to look so much like our blog that people assumed it was just the same stuff (all of the projects that we photographed were secretly done just for this book, so they’re all never-before-seen images)
- We love to redesign the blog every few years, so we didn’t want the book to look dated (to us and our readers) once we outgrew the current design
- It’s actually a really fun process to see what a professional book designer can do with your “look.” They know what they’re doing and have so much interesting reasoning behind certain choices that we never would have even thought about. And it’s not everyday that you get to see yourself through a book designer’s eyes.
So that’s the story of being completely convinced that we had successfully weaseled our way out of being on the cover (we even said we had done it in this post) and then ended up there anyway. But at least we’re not sitting on the sofa smiling. Haha. And there are bunny ears. And I’m wearing red shoes. And we’re little. So if we put a cute little paper weight over that part of it when it’s on the coffee table we won’t even be visible. #crouchingtigerhidden$herdog
Another fun fact? That photo actually wasn’t shot for the cover. It was just a random portrait that we snapped back in February while shooting all of our projects (just in case they needed an author photo for the back or something).
Oh, and what’s the funny thing you notice about John’s hand in the original pic? Yup, no drill. They cut his arm holding a drill from another process photo in the book and stuck it on there. We love that. I don’t know why. It’s like one of those behind-the-movie tidbits about the magic of book cover building. John’s Frankensteined Drill-Arm.
Oh and while Clara and Burger pop up inside, they didn’t make the cover because our editors rightfully pointed out that the Young House Love title was in danger of looking like it was some sort of relationship/family book, and not a decorating book (which is also why the designers chose to emphasize the word HOUSE with wood letters). But we made up for it inside the book. Seriously, Burger is without a doubt our favorite part of the book. He basically walks in and out of chapters and says hilarious Burger-esque things (yes, he talks to us when nobody’s around) and Clara got in there more than a few times too (she even got to do a project with us).
So in the end we feel like the book really represents us and our blog. There’s tons more that we’re itching to tell you about this, but we don’t want your head (ok, our heads) to explode. So we’ll occasionally be diving into more behind-the-scenes details about finishing this book of ours, sharing a video that we shot and edited with some sneak peeks, and finally dishing out the dates and cities for our book tour once that’s all set in stone. For now, all of this jabbering is just to say: holy cow this book baby is actually coming out and we love you all for the amazing support and encouragement that you’ve shown us during this intense and incredible journey. Couldn’t have done it without you. For reals, guys. Love, love, love.
Psst- You can check out a bunch of links to other book-related happenings, like when we announced that we were writing a book, how we picked a publisher, how we prepped for photo shoots, and how we shared a little photo-shoot sneak peek. Plus you can swing by our new book landing page with more info that we’ll update as soon as we know more about things like book tour details (along with other fun behind the scenes stuff).

SOOO excited! Great timing too…I have like 4 people who will be getting this book for Christmas!
Hope to catch you guys when you do a book tour!
Nelle says
Woo hoo! Just pre-ordered, prob the 1st person in Australia to pre-order this early ;) very excited to get my hands on it!!! Think you should extend your book tour all the way to Australia… And come to Perth! I ave a house you can crash ;)
YoungHouseLove says
We’d love that Nelle!

eeek! so excited!

Consider mine pre-ordered!!
Victoria B. says
I’m super pumped to be able to pre-order, just got mine ordered and I can’t wait to crack it open!! I love reinventing your projects to fit our home and I know my hubs loves that your ‘get on it already challenge’ has given me the motivation to get several projects around here finished already! You guys are incredibly inspiring and are such a great example of working hard to do what you love!!!
Samantha says
Eeeek! Just pre-ordered and can’t wait until Nov! So excited for you guys!
I love your blog! Thanks for all the great posts!
HeatherM says
Congrats! I think we need to give you guys a celebratory shower. Gifts given will be all varieties of pens for book signings. The more odd the pens, the better :)
Are you guys going to have one day where you encourage all of your readers to buy the book on the same day? When the amazing and fantastic Meg Keene (blogger and founder of A Practical Wedding) released her book of the same name, she asked all of her readers to hold off on buying the book until one date- I think it was December 6th. Then she asked everyone to buy it on the same day, and it sent it up to #29 on the Amazon best sellers list- only for a day, but still Awesome. She explained publishers look at how high you can get on those book-selling lists, and so by doing this, it helped her get another book deal.
If you have any questions about the self-promotion part of all of this book stuff, check out her blog, or email her directly. She is about 10 months ahead of you in this process of blogger/business-owner-turned-author, and she could probably offer some great suggestions from one book-parent to you soon-to-be book parents. (And her blog has evolved into this awesome feminist/ entrepreneurial blog that just happens to have posts about weddings too). See here: http://apracticalwedding.com/tag/make-an-indie-a-bestseller-for-a-day/
I will definitely be ordering your book. But I want to know when and where to order it so that it will have the greatest impact on the both of you! After all you guys pour your heart and soul into this blog every day, and keep us laughing in the process. It is the least we can do!
YoungHouseLove says
Aw thanks so much for the tip Heather! That post was so interesting! We’re just following our publisher’s request to go ahead and share that it’s available now for all of the readers who were wondering/inquiring (maybe for a pre-order push, so everyone would go order it today?). By some completely amazing miracle it actually sent our book to #6 on the Amazon Bestseller list. Almost fainted when we found out. How crazy is that?! I definitely think sales that are concentrated to one specific day (whether now or when it’s out) have the power to shoot things up since they must tabulate all the books sold in one day as a way to see how popular something is (so if the orders are all spread out it’s not as powerful). So interesting!

Natalie Gibson says
How can I get my library or local bookstore on this tour? My library is in Evans, GA the burbs of Augusta GA. Local bookstore is book tavern. We are currently doing our ad stuff for events in that window. Have a cookbook event in November with Virginia Willis. Would love to do something with you guys. Will be pre-ordering for home and work! So proud :-)
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks Natalie! Maybe contact the PR people at Artisan? I think they have info on their website. They’re arranging stuff- would love to drop by!

You guys rock – can’t wait for the book! And I’m a nerd and checked your Amazon ranking – Top 10 in books right now!
Lindsay Osborne says
I am so excited about this! I work in an independent bookstore and actually proposed writing up a review for our fall newsletter, which means we will be getting copies in stock!!! Now it’s gonna be like birthday presents…staring at the release date and waiting to open it!!! (The book that is, not the date ;)).
Nicole says
Yay! I’ve been following your blog for years and cannot wait to get the book :) it’s preordered! So exciting for you guys! Even though you might not think so…its just another affirmation that you are a great inspiration in all things home related :)
Aimee says
I ordered 2– I’m sure I can think of someone to gift it to! Can’t wait!
I love you guys’ style, but more importantly, I love the kinds of improvements you make. Some are serious home remodels but so many are quick projects that make such a huge difference. In fact, you inspired me to do a mini-spruce-up on my crappy front door. Someday I’ll replace it, but for now, a whitening treatment on the fake panes, a coat of green paint and freshly ORB’ed door knobs has made a HUGE difference!
YoungHouseLove says
Aw, so glad Aimee! Your “new” door sounds so charming!

I’ve been “with” you all for awhile now and honestly I am so very proud of you two and your sweet little family. I am pre-ordering my tonight and will look forward to it coming!!! Take a deep breath and ENJOY!!!!

Crystal says
Ok I’ve pre ordered 4 books already (is that stalker-ish?) I am so excited for November! (3 are gifts btw I’m really not that crazy). Anyhow I’m wondering if you could buy only 1 design book besides your own which would you choose?
YoungHouseLove says
Haha, you’re sweet! I think my favorite design book that I own is still the Domino book! Although Grace’s Design Sponge At Home is really fun too! Oh and The Design Idea Book is awesome and I also love anything Jonathan Adler.

Chrissie says
I am so excited for you guys! It must feel incredible to see all that work coming together.
Also, I love that editing on a printed copy is the way the pros do it – that’s how I prefer to work too. Wide margins ftw! Now I just need a red pencil.
YoungHouseLove says
Haha, I love my little editing pencils! I’m saving them forever! Might even frame them!

Christy Niebaum says
I work as an account planner at an ad agency, so my ears perked up when you mentioned focus groups. Any interesting details about those you could share?
Totes excited for you guys! This is amazeballs!
YoungHouseLove says
I’m not sure who they polled (maybe just internal people at Artisan/Workman who weren’t working on the book so they knew less about our blog/us) but the general feedback was that since Young House Love isn’t the most descriptive title, a subtitle that worked harder than the original “243 ways to show some love to your house” might help enforce this isn’t a relationship/family book and confirm that it’s more house focused. Made sense to us!
xo,

Jessica says
I am SO excited – though on Chapters/Indigo it said it would be released on November 16th (in Canada) and I got so bummed thinking I’d have to wait!! Not impressed Canada. Clearly I need to do something about this and get my hands on this quicker! Anyways, congrats on your book baby! You guys are absolutely amazing and deserve to celebrate and revel in your awesomeness!
Nicole P. says
Soooo excited! Can’t wait! Maybe when the book comes out we can all do a “Get on one of those 243 book projects already challenge” and post our successes like the pinterest challenge!
YoungHouseLove says
Haha- that could be really fun!

Stephanie says
CONGRATS to you both!!! I can’t wait to read. Any chance Austin (or Dallas!) is on the tour!? Will you be traveling around in a YHL RV?!! That’d be so epic!!

Haha, I wish we had a YHL RV to travel in. Seriously, that would be amazing! Hope we end up in Austin or Dallas!

Ali says
Sherry and John… will you come to Canada? You have lots of fans here and we’d love to see you! Let me be the first to officially ask your publisher to send you here! Anywhere near Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal would suit me just fine!
We’re so close… only a couple hours from the border if you’re in New York or New England. And it could be your chance to also take House Crashing “international”!
YoungHouseLove says
We’d love to come to Toronto! We’ve heard it talked about so it’s definitely possible! Will keep you posted!

Whoo! Congrats, you’re currently the #6 book on Amazon!

jen says
pre-ordered! congratulations. Obviously I love all the projects, and tips, and beautiful things you do, but what I love more about you two is the way you show everyone its possible to do what you love, and if you work really hard, you can be successful. Not everyone can be a blogger, (i sure couldn’t) but you inspire people to just be themselves, and give whatever it is they love doing a try. Thank you for that. I cannot wait to read your book.
YoungHouseLove says
Shucks Jen that’s sweet. Made me tear up a little bit. We couldn’t have done this without you guys and your loving support. You make our day every day!

Jennifer Fogerty-Gibson says
I am so excited! I am very much looking forward to your book. Also, earlier this year when you were talking about the book and the shooting all the projects at your house I had a dream where you were giving house tours. Too bad I live in Oregon, because I would have loved a house tour of Young House Love! Congratulations on birthing your book baby.
YoungHouseLove says
Aw, that would be fun!

Yay!!!! I am soooooo asking for this for Christmas! (and maybe buying a few copies as housewarming gifts for friends…)
Congrats! You guys are awesome and the book will be a smash hit. ;-)

Pre ordered to Melbourne Australia, estimated arrival time 5-26 Dec… can’t wait that long!
I’ve already used lots of your ideas in my home, cant wait to see what else is in this beautiful book :)
Well done guys, I am very happy for you!

Congrats you two!
Might have missed it- but how do I get a AUTOGRAPHED copy from your handy little fingers to my home of this lovely book??
Can you guys autograph books (I’m in Illinois- planning on coming here anytime soon?!) and mail them or somethin’?
Smiles,

I’m so glad you changed the spine color. Now I will actually put it out. :)
Kimberly says
I just pre-ordered my early birthday present to myself! So excited to have a little YHL in my own home, since I’m not quite as crafty as you two. The look of the book alone will be a home improvement. :)
Jennifer E. says
Yay! Congrats!
I have it pre-ordered and I am SO excited to get this! I’m afraid I’ll read it all in one sitting though and then want more. At least with the blog, I’m forced to span my reading out throughout the week. :)
Maybe you should start another book? Haha! Obviously I haven’t read this one yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be awesome!
PennySmith says
Pre-ordered!!! I am Amazon Prime, so free 2 day shipping for me!! AND every time I have pre-ordered a book it’s come early! (My last was Jimmy Fallon’s book! Lol!) Congrats! I didn’t even know your blog existed before about 6 months ago-but noe I check weekly! Love it!!

Oh my goodness! I can’t imagine how excited you guys must be. Congratulations! Now, how about giving away some signed copies… ;)

I am SO excited for your book to come out! The cover looks great and I can’t wait to see what you’ve been hiding from everyone for so long (still shocked that you haven’t shown/mentioned them on the blog) !!!!!
Now I’m just anxiously anticipating the book tour location/dates – I’m crossing my fingers that you’ll make a stop in Los Angeles/CA!!

It’s hard to order stuff in NZ unless we use bookdepository!

Wow, so exciting that it’s finally coming out! I’m sure you’ve heard this probably a million times, but CONGRATULATIONS! I rarely comment, but I read your blog every single day – it’s one of those things I look forward to daily. I love that you guys are always true to yourselves, and your writing style is always so unique and interesting. I’m so glad that throughout the editing phases, your publisher let you be yourselves – I can’t wait to see that come shining through in your book. Heading over to Amazon to pre-order…!

Pre-ordered (that’s a plus one on the UK sales!)
It looks really great – Congratulations!

Hi Sherry and John
Congratulations on the book. I am a massive fan of your blog, it is very addictive, so many great ideas and inspiration!! Your ‘ how to paint a garage door’ came up on a google search and then I was hooked.
I am ordering 3 copies for myself and my family all the way in Perth Western Aaustralia. Can’t wait to place in on my coffee table, the blue spine is a perfect colour!
Thanks for such a great blog and I am sure the book will be just as awesome.
Hope you guys make it to Austalia one day.
Megan :)
YoungHouseLove says
Thanks so much Megan! You’re so sweet! You guys are all completely blowing us away with the love you’ve shown for our little announcement. We were so nervous! Haha.

Another from the UK ordered! My partner and I have just bought our first place and it needs a lot of doing up. We’ve only been in 4 weeks but I’ve got loads of ideas and inspiration from your blog. Looking forward to even more inspiration and tips on how to do things (we’re total DIY newbies).
Thanks!
