Fab Freebie: A Literal Fab Freebie

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys hit the 10,000 entry cap to giveaway within 24 hours, so you must love some Fab as much as I do (or perhaps you just like $500). Either way, we’ve crowned a random winner and it is… Whitney (who says “Most of my apartment is muted gray, yellow, and blue, but my kitchen has bright red baking dishes on display.”) Congrats Whitney!

I’m a recent addict to Fab (I own more t-shirts from there than I probably should admit). So imagine my reaction when I got an email from them offering to do a – wait for it – $500 Fab gift card giveaway for you guys. Their site includes items marked down between 10-60% from retail prices across just about every category – home, accessories, art, kitchen, pets, kids, clothing, jewelry, etc. And everything is selected with a discriminating-but-not-too-serious design eye. There’s an emphasis on quirky, weird, and colorful items within their sales… which means there’s a lot of fun to be had while spending the five hundred beans that are up for grabs.

Fab Dot Com Giveaway

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card toward Fab
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FAB ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …what’s something weird, quirky, or colorful in your home that you love? Is it a bold art print in your entryway? An armchair with a happy pattern in your living room? Or several dozen ceramic animals placed throughout your house… not that we’d know anything about that.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 30th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States, Canada, and much of Europe (click here for a specific list of countries)
  • 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…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Fab.

    Our most quirky, eye-catching piece is a 6’x4′ canvas painting that my mother-in-law made, hanging smack in the middle of our living room. It’s fabulous :)

    FAB ME!

    I was an art major in college and I had a period where all my pieces were knit. I knit a pink and yellow striped baby blanket with large black type that reads “GO F*** YOURSELF” that is currently framed over our fireplace. It may be a little embarrassing when my roommates parents come over but it is certainly a conversation starter.

    I have a pea-green vinyl chair in my bedroom. When I was in high school, my church bought a piece of land to build a new building. There was an old farmhouse on the land, and the youth group helped to clean it out. In the attic was this chair. I brought it home, and it has been mine ever since!

    FAB ME! We have pretty quirky taste to begin with, but my favorite, (which I was my husband’s idea and I originally detested) is a framed portrait of Homer Simpson in an ornate, gilded frame.

    We don’t have a ton of bold, colorful items in the house. But in my new store that I’m decorating, I’m doing a blue stripe around the windows and on the walls to tie all the rooms together. I think it’ll be pretty cool.

    I decided to paint my walls and do most of my long lasting big pieces of furniture in neutral colors and then add pops of color throughout the house, some of my favorite items are:

    Vintage Tequila sign off of Ebay,
    Bright yellow Chevron rug in my hallway, Big bold art prints I made and framed in garage sale frames all spray printed the same black color.
