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…

    I have magenta chairs in my dining room. I bought all four off Craigslist for $10 and decided to paint them pink! They add a great pop of color!

    The horseshoe hanging above my door is the same one my grandparents used. Makes me happy every time I see it.

    How about the handmade Star Wars x-wing fighter my husband made for our son. It’s made from wood scraps (including clothes pins). It has a place of honor on our bookshelves.

    FAB ME! We bought a painting of a conquistador at a thrift store a while back. that’s probably one of the coolest and most unusual decor items in our house.

    Fab me! I have a piece of art that I inherited from a client… It’s a carved wooden cow, to be hung on an angle. One day I hope to use it in a nursery– most likely he’ll be jumping over a moon.

    I painted an entire wall, floor to ceiling, in our kitchen with chalk board paint. My husband nearly had a heart attack when he came home to see that I has painted this huge wall entirely black until I showed him that we could draw on it. Now the top half is for grocery lists, meal plans and upcoming events and the bottom half is for our 3 year old to color on while I cook or do dishes. I was so in love with the effect that I also took the chalkboard paint upstairs into both of my daughter’s rooms and made their closet doors into their very own chalk boards to write messages on.

    Right now our house is pretty plain jane, though we do have a new buttercup yellow retro refrigerator (plus yellow stove, dishwasher and blue microwave) that I guess does spice things up a bit in the kitchen :)

    I love my metal wall mounted reindeer head that I bought at home goods during Christmas time. It stays up all year long and dresses for the season! Right now he is wearing a warm scarf :)

    I have some vinyl sticker birds that live above a doorway. It always surprises people when they see them.

    FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in our house is a an old wooden trail marker from the Ice Caves in the Catskill Mountains that we pulled out of the trash. We hung it in our casual ‘basement’ TV room. Its large, old, weathered, and has a cool description – we love it! And it goes with the unofficial theme of the room – snow and ice.

    It’s actually not in my house (it’s in my parents’), but I bought my dad a wooden bird for Christmas. I got so nervous before I gave it to him, but when I first saw it I knew they were a match made in heaven. It now lives prominently in their living room in front of the fireplace.

    Fab me! I have an orange velveteen arm chair from my late grandma’s house paired with a brown tweed ottoman that went with our late grandpa’s rocking chair. My husband thinks they don’t match and that the orange is garish but I love them. ^_^

    Something colorful in the apartment is the Characternity print we have framed! It has all the characters from cartoons in it…like all cartoons ever! It is awesome and the first piece of real art we put in our home!!!

    If you’re looking at my hall of frames, you’ll find a page from a coloring book that my aunt colored for me for my 30th birthday. (We’re a strange family!) Yeah. It’s a unicorn! LOL!

    FAB ME! We were lucky enough to be given an old radio mahogany cabinet with some incredible detailing by a relative – it now houses our DVDs and boardgames in the bottom cabinet and off-season clothing in the top section.

    Fab me! I have a fun painting from Urban Outfitters above my desk at work. It’s birds on a wire, which is pretty simple, but everyone who comes in my office has a comment about it.

    I have collected come piano music from the 1920s and 1930s. They have the best print covers. The colors are gorgeous. I framed these prints and they are assembled in my entry way in white frames.

    FAB ME! I got a deal on a designer couch with a funky dot pattern that I couldn’t pass up. Even though I prefer neutral colors when it comes to pieces like that, it works until we get a house :)
