**Psst- We know most Fridays we just post once, but every month on sponsor shout out day we double up. So we’ll be back in a few hours with something we made (and it’s free for anyone who wants it!).
It’s time for our once-a-month public “thank you” to our sponsors because, heck, they make the other 30+ posts that we write each month possible. Plus I just wanted to hide a picture of my old bangs in the mix. We haven’t received any of the items shown below (cue link to our no-swag policy) but we fancy them nonetheless. And as a subtle prayer to the snow gods that we see get some sledding in at some point this season, this month’s theme is a snowy white. Plus, at the bottom we’ve got a hint for Mondays’ giveaway as well as a bunch of discounts for ya. Woot.
- Cozy throws from this Joss & Main sale, especially this stripey fellow.
- Marble tiles of all shapes and sizes available at the The Tile Shop. Yes please.
- Like their presidents print, this Wild West Outlaws print from 1 Canoe 2 rocks my socks.
- WallQuotes‘ confidence-inducing decals (they’re pretty perfect for resolution season).
- A sexy starburst mirror still gets us every time, including this one from Shades of Light.
- These stacking rings from Heart & Stone Jewelry which could be our blogging motto.
- Tons of milk glass items, like this lace edge bowl for $15, for sale on Ruby Lane.
- Searching Rentini’s vacation home catalog, including the option to sort by activity.
- A classic trellis stencil from Royal Design Studio which looks darn hot in black & white.
- Fish Foam doing its foamy thing, on windows and windshields alike.
- FSC-certified, post-consumer & 100% recyclable organization tools via Naked Binders.
- This sleek Oreck air purifier (it’s currently on sale for $100 off!)
- Smock Paper‘s 2013 letterpress calendars in case you’re late on your calendar-gettin’.
- This bird-tastic card from Freshline Illustration. Polly want a greeting?
- Perusing pulls galore on Liberty Hardware. So much satin nickel-y goodness.
- Silhouette Blue‘s personalized stationery, like this one for anyone getting hitched.
- Nice Girl Notes‘ house-cleaning tips, complete with stick figures and lots of laughs.
- New ideas from Mirror Mate on their blog, like framing out a whiteboard.
- Now for hint I drew about Monday’s giveaway, which totals $500 in prizes.
- And not that anyone asked, but here’s a pic of my awesome bangs (circa 1995).
And here are the deets on those DISCOUNTS:

LOL forever at the bangs! I think Sherry wins this round… but we’re always open for round 2, John.
hilarious, thought it was some sponsor for picture frames :-)
I don’t know what your “free” thing is that you made that’s coming up in the next post – but I want it!! (Can this count as me “claiming” it? :)) This is my total faith in you guys that it’s gonna be awesome (or funny) and either way I can give it a good home. Plus my husband and I live on the Southside area of Richmond for easy pick up/delivery!
No need to worry about claiming it. There’s not a limited number and no pick-up required. But you’re so sweet to be so on top of things this morning!

Love seeing Red Barn in your list, they’re just a few blocks from our house. Amy is great and we love her store. You can always fine really cool and unique items in there.
PS – for a name to the face, we were at the Mongrel book signing and I sometimes tweet ya from @chicstripes. :)
Sweet bangs dude!
Now I must go check out this ‘fish foam’ of which you speak.
there was a great review of fish foam on bowerpowerblog if you wanted to read it, Anele :)
I was just browsing urban outfitters and found a white ceramic animal that immediately made me think of you :)

Cool!

Those bangs are crazy. And if the giveaway hint means Target, i’m pumped! Either that or it’s something musical…if I remember correctly, that symbol is a fermata?
bahahaha that is a fermata! kinda like…i’m “holding” my breath to find out what the giveaway is from Target! :)
TARGET! :)
I was thinking that Sherry wrote that post and then I saw the “boy bangs” and had to re-check that it was in fact, John posting! ha! John, I don’t think that looks like you at all.
LOL!!! Clean Yo House…..it’s like you guys are calling me out. ;-)
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
hmmm… im guessing off the hint it’s from one of my favorite department stores…. tarrrrrrrrrrjayyyyyy?
let the john vs sherry bangs debate begin. I vote for JOHN. and its not just a sympathy vote *cough cough yes it is cough cough*
Haha! We need a poll! I vote John too.
xo,
s
Yea! I’m guessing Target!
OOh, is its a 2013 calendar?!
John, love the bangs. You look like every kid I went to junior high with. :)
Hahaha, I love your bangs John. I had the same haircut when I was about that age… Embarrassing…
Do you guys have a tab or link somewhere about sponsorship info? Maybe I just missed it. Love you guys!
There’s a tab at the top right of our page near our search box. Hope it helps!

I love your new lighting collection!!! Do you guys know if there’s anyway to get items shipped to Canada? I’m building a new house in the spring and have fallen in love with a few of the fixtures.
Yes you can call them for international shipping rates. Hope ot helps!
xo,
s
WOOT, yes! Thanks Sherry – ya just made my day :-)
John those bangs are wild – but don’t worry, I’m fairly certain every single kid had that hair cut at some point while growing up.
It’s always fun to be reminded of some of the other great sites and businesses out there, so thanks for the round up. And if the giveaway is for Target I can’t wait!!! Hope you guys have a great weekend!
I’m guessing Target!
Haha. I love that you threw in your bang picture. Couldn’t feel left out!
Ohh my word! I’m going to be plastered to the computer on monday morning because I have a feeling with that “hint” that your 10,000 entry limit is going to hit fast.
If that is Target giveaway, I may pee in my pants if I win.
Oh my gosh! I was just scrolling through the email Barnes & Noble sends out of best books of the year, and thought it was so sweet that your book was listed right at the top in the “Best Quirky, Beautiful, Different Books of 2012″… that has got to be the coolest category of books. Congratulations! You are within two inches of a Nate Berkus book on my computer screen, Sherry!

Ahhhhh isn’t that crazy? We were shocked when we saw it. I screamed like a girl at a Bieber concert.

It was SO good to finally meet you in Miami ! Even though I was completely star struck and could not even speak right… Blergh. In my humble little opinion – John wins the bangs awards !! I LOVE them !! LOL
Hope you guys had fun in the M.I.A. ! <3
Haha we had so much fun! Thanks for coming out! The weather and the people were awesome!
xo,

John, I’m pretty sure we had the same hair stylist in 1995.
I agree with Sara about Target
I really want a Samantha French painting! I think it’s time I stop shopping at Goodwill and Big Lots for art and get the real thing!
You have so many sponsors! It’s so great to see all the wonderful companies that support you and who all us bloggers support back! I love these posts (even if I don’t end up buying anything).
The first thing I saw when I looked at the hint was a fermata. I spent 10 years in band so I guess that might have something to do with it, haha. Then I saw that everyone else was guessing Target… I’m a band geek.
Yeah…I wasn’t in band and thought “hmm, a red fermata?” I guess 12 years of piano lessons will do that to you. You’re not alone! :)
I’m not sure why no one asked for a picture of John’s bangs. ;) You can totally rock the bangs, John!
As they say on Sleepless In Seattle, clearly y’all are MTB (meant to be). The Bangsie Twins…
Sherry has nothing on those bangs.
They’re hot.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
Can I just say how much I absolutely love your “no swag policy”! I love knowing that everything you suggest and sponsor you’re doing because you actually like the product. So when I click on anything I don’t have to do a ton extra research to see if it’s really as wonderful if the blog says it is. I trust you two to be honest with the readers and I so, so love that! And I’m practically jumping out of my skin waiting for my Young House Love book to arrive!
Aw thanks so much Kay! So sweet.

Is there a winner from the giveaway this week? I usually don’t enter, but I did this week…don’t know where to find the info??
We are on planes today flying home but will pick a winner and announce it at the top of the original giveaway post as soon as we can :)
xo,

JBoom, it’s a good thing you released that ‘bangin’ picture yourself…before the National Enquirer got their hands on it, and splashed it all over their front page :)
xox
Now that would be hilarious.

TARGET GIVEAWAY!!!! ohhhhh I can’t wait!
And I am intrigued about todays other post….I’ll be waiting anxiously :)
OMG I came to the pic of the bangs and thought to myself, “What the H are they advertising now?!” Hahaha!! Hilarious.
BANGS…hahahahahaha! :)
you are cracking me up with the bangs shot! ;)
what you made it must rock!
My guess is your 2013 calendar?!?! Monday’s giveaway, Target? Love the bangs John!! You guys are awesome, I really don’t know how you keep up with everything, busy folks!
John, I’m wondering, is it too late to get a tutorial on that *entire* awesome bowl cut, not just the bangs? And does it invovle any math, or an actual bowl on your head? the fashion conscious want to know. thank you.
I’ll be sure to whip up a detailed tutorial for next week. ;)
-John
Woo, everyone loves Target! And thanks for the bangs pic. I still think I like Sherry’s better, though :)
Hi J&S,
Long time, first time. :) I got your book for Christmas and am so excited to get started.
Your link above to Liberty Hardware reminded me of something that you may be able to help with. We have an awesome furniture set that is nearing 10 years old. It’s in great condition save for some drink spill stains on top (that I will be tackling this spring) and the drawer pulls.
Do you have a good recommendation on where to find replacement drawer pulls for things? There are only about 4 bad ones on the whole set, so I don’t think we want to invest in redoing the whole shebang, but I’m looking to just find replacements for four that have broken. they are the kind that have a brushed nickle back and a “hinged” pull. It seems the hinge breaks on these.
we have tried contacting the store we bought it from so they could contact the manufacturer, but no luck. (It’s been too long.)
So I thought you might have a thrifty suggestion for this!
Love you guys!
I would check out a local neighborhood hardware store and even a big chain like Home Depot or Anthropologie or Hobby Lobby. Hope it helps!

He bangs, he bangs! *vawes/shakes arms William Hung-style*
I meant “waves,” of course.
Target !! ?? Please be international….
When I saw your bangs my first thought was, “Thank God Sherry is cutting his hair now” LOL – Happy Weekend!
target!
