***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
First off, thanks for all of the birthday wishes everyone. Second, random.org has selected our winner as… Lee (who just turned 31 and is so far happy with it). That’s good news for us too, since we’re both staring down at 31 now. Congrats Lee!
Guess what today is? Sherry’s 30th birthday! And to celebrate, Crate & Barrel is gonna give one of you a Benjamin to spend for every decade that Sherry’s been alive (that’s $300 in case your math skills are in a post-lunch slump). And that’s not the only thing Crate & Barrel is giving away these days. They’re also in the midst of their Pick Your Page sweepstakes where one winner will score all of the items featured in any spread from their new Spring catalog. That could earn you up to $15,000 worth of crate-y, barrel-y goodness! So feel free to pop over there to get in on that giveaway too.
- PRIZE: A $300 gift card to Crate & Barrel
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “AGE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … if you could pick your age, what would you magically like to return to (or travel to the future for)? Would you love to be 11 again? Or would you give anything to relive your early 20s? Maybe you just can’t wait to settle into a relaxing retired life in your 60s or 70s?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 21st at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

AGE ME! Happy Birthday :-)
Linda says
AGE ME! I would be just real content to stay in my 20’s. Thirty is looking a little too close for comfort.
JennyB says
AGE ME! I’d go back to 24 and NOT buy the condo we are now underwater in. :) We learned the hard way on that one I suppose.
shweta says
AGE ME! I would love to be 21 again!
Denise says
I would be 42!!!! Such a great age, old enough and still young enough.
Lara says
age me! I’m not very old so I’ll just stick to 26. :)
Laura says
AGE ME!! If I could be any age again it would probably be…hmm… nope I think I’ll stay right where I am. My teens were pretty awful (like most peoples!) and my twenties were a blast, but who has the energy to do that twice! And of course I don’t want to skip ahead to later because I don’t want to miss a single day of my children’s lives. So here at 32 I’ll stay! And happy birthday, Sherry!!!
Kim says
AGE ME!
I like where I am, 33 :)
stacy says
Age me! I’d like to be 45 and done paying off all my loans!
Whitney says
AGE ME
I would go back to 22 in college, you are never expected to have a job or much in the way of responsibilities… And can go to the pool in the middle of the day with friends… Awww, life was good then!
Amanda says
Age me! As someone a month from 30 Im desperately thinking I want to stay 29 forever!
Jenny says
AGE ME!
Well, I’m 26 and gotta say that it’s been a great year – my husband and I bought our first house, had a sweet little girl…I don’t think I’d change a thing :)
Shannon says
“AGE ME”. Yesterday was my 40th birthday so if I could choose an age, I would still choose 40.

“AGE ME PLEASE, I would like to be 18 again going to college

AGE ME!! Lately, with work and bills and no fun, I would love to be 8 again. When homework was easy and I actually got to play on weekends!!
Ashley says
AGE ME …loved being 19, in college, shopping for food in my parents’ cabinets for my dorm room and not afraid to be a rule-breaker!
Stacy says
AGE ME! I love my current age, living on my own in San Francisco and doing whatever I please, like redecorating my apartment with awesome Crate and Barrel stuff :) Happy birthday, Sherry!

Heidi S. says
AGE ME!
Happy Birthday Sherry (it is my mom’s birthday too)!
That is a tough call, but I think I would keep my current 30 something age. I love being a mom and spending time with my husband. Although 23 was nice and it was when I met my husband.
Melo says
Age me!
I would love to be 5 again! This has something to do with Hello Kitty, simplicity and living in a different country than I do now.
Laura C says
AGE ME!! I just turned 30 and I’m loving life right now!
Kerry says
AGE ME! I actually would hate to jinx myself…I like my current age of 27 pretty well. And you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to junior high. Maybe revisiting college would be nice…
Jen B. says
Age me
10-12 years old. I would learn all I could about sewing from my grandma.
Amber says
Age Me! I would love to be in my 20’s again!

AGE ME! How about back to my late 20s!
Ashley says
AGE ME!
I’m pretty pleased with the 29 I am now: First house, getting married in two weeks, times are good.
DTalley says
AGE ME!
I would be 25 again…something about being old enough to rent your own car but still young enough to feel like you have your whole life ahead of you
Marjorie says
AGE ME!
I’ll go back to 30, when I had my first baby.
Emily S. says
AGE ME
I’m 27 (almost 28) and enjoying life at the age I am now.
Jarel says
AGE ME!
I am loving being 24!! Married to a wonderful guy and just had our first baby, wouldn’t go backwards or forwards for anything! A pause button might be nice though…
Christy says
Age Me!
I know it may be cheesy, but I’m kind of enjoying where I am now. We’re about to have our first baby, so this is a good time :)
Jenny says
AGE ME! I’m happily settled in my 30 year-old skin!

Krysti says
AGE ME!
I love where I am right now, but I wouldn’t mind doing college again…I had so much fun!
Ashley says
AGE ME! I’m loving my current age of 27 – a growing year but a blessed year! Happy belated birthday, Sherry!
Val says
AGE ME! I’m really happy at my current age of 40, now that we have moved back close to family and friends. It would be fun to be a carefree 7 year old again, but I’ve lived so long I don’t think I would want to do it all over again. My past has made me the person I am today. Happy B-Day Sherry! (same b-day as my hubby!)
Emily D. says
AGE ME!!!!
I would love to be 19 again for a few reasons. My mom was still alive and I would have spent more time with her just talking and hearing stories-I miss them.
Also my now husband and I were at the same DMB concert that year sitting only one row apart and I wish we had met then.
Happy Birthday Sherry!!! 30 is awesome!!!!
Corrie M says
Age me! LOVED MY TWENTIES!
Erica C. says
AGE ME! I can’t say that I regret anything I’ve ever done, but to be 18 again would be nice so I could try a different path.
Tzivie says
AGE ME!!
I dont have a specific age, but i want to fast forward to the point in my life where i can be home with my baby (or future babies) and leave my corporate job!!
Tiffany says
Age me! I’m also 30 and I’m really loving this year. My hubby and I got married right before I turned 29 and we had a baby 6 weeks prior to me turning 30. So, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Nicole says
AGE ME
Pretty content at 34. Wait, make that 35. Is that right?
amy b says
AGE ME! I’d go back to being 11, that’s when I met my husband and we had our first kiss ;)…

Lee says
Thank you, John and Sherry! I’ve just moved back to the US after 5 years of moving around Asia for work, and I’m ready for some non-Ikea furniture! This will be a great help. Love your blog!
Angela says
Hey yall, Where can I find the safecoat acrylac in north alabama?
YoungHouseLove says
I think your best bet is to order it online (maybe from safecoat.com or try amazon.com or greendepot.com?).
