Return to Pretty: Giving New Life to Traditional Style
Happy Monday and welcome to my next book giveaway. This one is Return to Pretty by popular interior designer, Caitlin Wilson. Caitlin is known for creating feminine rooms and also has a line of home decorating products that are beautifully preppy. I know a lot of you are fans of hers so I hope you’re excited about this book giveaway. To enter for a chance to win the book, simply leave a comment at the end of the post.
The following photos are some of Ms. Wilson’s work but most of these aren’t in her book. But trust me, the pages in the book of Return to Pretty are some of her best work. You’ll also see some of the items she sells online, like pillows, furniture, wallpaper, and more. The pillows on the settee below can be found in her shop, as well as the pretty heron print and the pink rug.

Not everything Ms. Wilson does is in pink and blues, although you’ll see a good deal of it in the book. It’s her way of putting pretty back into traditional.

This beautiful kitchen belongs to Caitlin herself. The range is in pigeon blue and you’ll find the pottery seen here on her website.
Enjoy the rest of the photos for the type of inspiration and decorating you’ll find in Return to Pretty.

Beautiful photos! Would love to see the book!
Perfect blend of traditional and contemporary, creating a timelessness. Beautifully done
Caitlin’s designs feel ” in the moment”, timeless, and traditional. What could be better?
Inspiring.
I’ve always loved Caitlin Wilson’s aesthetic, and would love to see more of her work in the book. Her rooms are so pretty without being saccharine–the gold accents and warm wood flooring and other case goods ground the rooms. That blue range in her kitchen is just gorgeous!
Beautiful style. Anything done well with wallpaper and I’m a fan! Pink and blue combos aren’t personally my thing, but these photos and designs are lovely.
The blue stove is certainly the stand out piece in her kitchen. Beautiful color.
Caitlin is new to me, but these photos show she’s just my style. I’ve just been redoing my living/dining room from neutral browns to blue and white, incorporating a couple of my mother’s Queen Anne pieces with my new items, and Caitlin’s book is sure to help me pull it together.
Yes! I would love to be considered!
She has such a lovely design style. I’m so happy to see the re-emergence of traditional style, antiques and actual, functional furniture. Thanks for highlighting her work.
All the pictures are lovely, and the decorating is destined to be timeless. ..It’s the well placed, pretty, mostly antique looking, nostalgia pieces, and wallpaper Caitlyn uses, that cheers and warms the heart and soul.
Good morning Jennifer! I would love to be considered for this book. I’m sure it is just beautiful. By the way, I love starting my mornings with you part of it. I always enjoy what you have in your blog.
Caitlin Wilson’s book looks amazing. I always enjoy getting ideas from design books. Fingers crossed!
Beautiful!
Thank you for the chance to win the book.
Simply beautiful!
I’d sure like to return to pretty. 🙃
I love the ideas that can be garnered from the photos. While I love book give-a-ways, I am usually lukewarm about the book offered. In this case though, I have my fingers crossed that I will win. What a lovely book!
Love the blue range and stove in the kitchen, beautiful
The photos and designs are lovely. Thankyou for the consideration.
So beautiful. I love that marble looking wall in the one kitchen. I would love that for my kitchen. The book looks amazing. Love all the neutrals and light colors. Have a great new week ahead. Hugs. Kris
This book looks just the one I need on my coffee table to be read and reread. My home is a mix of traditional and country chic and her ideas are just wonderful. Thanks for the giveaway.
The wallpaper and the valance in the kitchen looks great together and I don’t think I would have thought so. The stove is dramatic but subdued. I’ve enjoyed all the looks, especially the pink rug. Thank you for the opportunity to win the book.
Lovely photos and design ideas. Thank you for the consideration.
I love pastels! Hmmm that Heron print is tugging at me!
Absolutely gorgeous decor and designs. Love it! Such inspiration.
I’m not usually a fan of pastels but these rooms are so calm and fun at the same time. I especially like the small powder room wallpaper and vanity color.
I hadn’t heard of Caitlin beforehand. I really like her style!
Fingers crossed. I urgently need ‘pretty’ in my life. ♥
You know she’s one of my favs. However, since I won the giveaway for Fifi’s awesome book, it makes me happy to know that someone else will get to enjoy Caitlin’s! Thanks for being so generous to your readers 🙂
A beautiful book, especially since it has my favorite colors in decor, which is blue and pink. Also it’s not boringly modern. Would love to receive a copy.
I really do love a pretty room. It need not be just for bedrooms and baths! Please enter me! Thank you!
Since today (June 24th) is my birthday, I would love a copy of “Return to Pretty”. The cover just spoke to me as I have collected blue and white pottery for years and would love new ways to display them……..
Just Lovely!
We are planning to build a new house, so I want my kitchen to be red where her’s is blue. Love it!
“Return to Pretty”: what a brilliant concept! Would love to win the book!
I love this designer! I have a traditional esthetic and am looking for ways to update, pretty up our home. Great post. Thanks.
We lost our dream home during the recession. We finally bought a home in 2021. I have become a DIY pro and my style is definitely “pretty.” I would devour this book and then display it in my blue great room. This is the only email I actually look forward to receiving each morning. Thank you!
Her style is just what I am looking for. I would love to have her book to help me create the look
I love her ability to incorporate a little
“unexpected twist” to her traditional design style. Thank you for sharing her work. I’m sure her book is a treasure of ideas that I’d love to explore!
Love the colors and traditional style ! This book is designed for me !
Oh I need a pretty house currently I look like I live in a college bachelor pad! 1 room at a time isn’t easy!
What a breath of fresh air to see interiors that are not gray. Absolutely love her use of pastels, especially blue and white. Thank you for sharing Caitlin’s work.
Would like to be considered.
The English Garden wallpaper in the bathroom is absolutely stunning!
The rooms in these photos are so pretty. I’d love to see this book. Looks like great inspiration.
I love the calming and serene feeling of traditional design. I live in a coastal style home but bring in many of the traditional influences into my home. I walk in the front door and feel happy and loved. I would love to win “Return to Pretty” for further inspo. As we all know, you are never done decorating!

I love pretty, and I have to balance pretty with my husband’s idea of how much pretty he can handle. Lol
