“Tried to take a cute photo to tell y’all that my design book launches next Tuesday,” Gaines, 40,wroteon Instagram, alongside nine photos of herself holding up her book.
Hinting at why she couldn’t choose just one photo to convey the happy news, Gaines added, “It’s not a great hair day and for some reason my eyes were closed more than they were open.”

“Home is so personal, and for me, I want it to be a place where my family feels loved, safe, and at ease. Creating a space that tells your story is really what it’s all about,” shetold PEOPLEin June, as she released the book’s cover.
In the book, Gaines will break down just how she creates the farmhouse-inspired spaces that led to her successful career, as well as how to get the look for yourself. She’ll share the basics, offer advice and walk readers through her processes, all while showing off stunning photos of her work.
“The vision was that it would be more than a coffee table book,” she said. “I really wanted it to be a practical guide to creating a home that reflects the personalities and stories of the people who live there — making it a place that you never want to leave.”
