***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.
- 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…

FAB ME!
I have a tiled artwork piece of the Hunger Games mocking jay symbol hanging in our living room :)
Andrea says
FAB ME! Oomph. I have a good one — we had someone come and install a very large vinyl decal on the door that leads from our house to our garage. It says “GARAGE” in bright orange, stacked letters, and pretty much covers the entire door. When people come over and we show them around our house we say “And that’s our garage … obviously.” Our respective parents think that we are nuts.

FAB ME!It was so nice to meet you this weekend in Portland!!
Stefanie says
FAB ME! My favorite quirky items include a chrome rhino named Rhodes and a crocheted throw from the 70’s (my grandma made it!) that has about every color you could imagine. Thanks for the opportunity!
Elaine says
FAB ME!
Bright green kitchen items in an otherwise “neutral” house. It all started with my KitchenAid mixer…
Lori S. says
FAB ME! Please!
I have an owl or two in almost every room in our house – including three in the garage!
Michelle @ Lifewithacrazypup says

BRIDGET B. says
FAB ME!
Debby says
FAB ME ! A friend bought a tear down house and gave us a really heavyvstained class door with an S in the center. We cut it down and hung it on the wall as art. Looks good!
Kara says
FAB ME! The quirkiest item in my house might be the painted miniature pirogue that our real estate agent gave us after we closed on our home. It looks cool on the bookshelf in our family room.
Hannah says
FAB ME!
I have a suitcase table that I thrifted for my birthday last year. It looks perfect in my living room! I also have an obsession with peacock feathers- I have curtains, paintings, pillows, candles, etc. I even have a peacock painted in the likeness of Rod Stewart (my favorite musician of all time). Needless to say- I love my house.
LonghornBlonde says
Fab Me! My whole house could be a little quirky since we built a log home. But my favorite colorful/quirky piece of furniture is our coffee table, which my husband picked out for me one Christmas. It’s built of salvaged wood and has the original barn paint on some parts, and the top is an old door.
Michelle R. says
Fab me! I need some quirky stuff in my home!
LynnMA says
FAB ME! I have several pieces of artwork, which at first glance, appear to be abstract photographs of nature. A closer look however reveals that each has a nude woman incorporated into it. My son’s friends got a kick out of them when they were young!
Maggie says
FAB ME!
Yikes, I’m not particular quirky or bold…I guess it would be the handmade, hand painted side table in our living room! It’s a beautiful piece.
Jamie says
FAB ME!
I have a large painted ceramic cow table in our nursery. So cute!!
Larita says
Fab me! I’ve got three large panels of brightly printed cloth hanging in my dining room to reflect the West African heritage of my ex and my children. They do NOT go with the soothing greens and blues through the rest of my house, but I love them anyway. Bonus? I DIYed them :)
Carrie Furr says
Fab me! My favorite pop of color would be our living room walls. They are bright turquoise. We inherited burgundy carpet from the previous owners, so the only wall color that seemed to work was tan. After we had more neutral carpet installed, I went crazy with wall colors!
Ryan W says
FAB ME!
Oddly enough, the weird and quirky thing in our house (or, at least the ONE thing that comes to mind) is an old pose-able action-figure of “The Fanze” from Happy Days, who is, for some reason, wearing an Elvis costume…not original to the action-figure. It’s so random and fun that we keep him on display.
Autumn says
FAB ME! Our bun in the oven has a nursery waiting for her that is full of bright colors! I love it :)
Haley says
FAB ME! My favorite is a sea green giant whale hanging above my kitchen window. Makes me smile!
nancyo says
FAB ME!
My most colorful thing is fun pattern from a trip that I printed on canvas.
Katie says
Fab me! We have colorful curtains in our kitchen and family room. They give both rooms a pop of color!
Emily says
Fab Me! I have a stuffed koala bear lamp sitting on my desk. It was the lamp that my parents put in both my sister’s nursery and mine when we were babies. It is from like 1980, but I absolutely love it and couldn’t part with it. For now it has a plain shade but I hope to recover it when the right inspiration strikes! :)
Melissa T says
Fab me! We have a huge painting that’s followed us to three homes so far.
natalie says
Fab Me!!
I love my vintage pull-down map of the world that I have hanging in my yellow kitchen. My mom hates it of course, but it’s my house so there! It’s fun to eat dinner with my husband and gaze longingly at it and plan our future travels.
greenbean says
fab me!
my bright greem lamp shades are…bright!
Ashley says
FAB ME!
I love my boston terrier bookends! Quirky yet awesome!
Brittany says
Fab Me!
My most favorite quirky item is a boat rudder in the shape of a whale that I got at an antique mall a couple years back. I love it’s industrial-esque aged wood and hardware paired with it’s awesome whimsical whale shape!
Here’s a link to a post about it: http://www.thesundrenchedbungalow.blogspot.com/2011/11/wishing-you-whale.html
Amanda says
FAB ME, por favor!
My co-worker gave me these awesome iron squirrel bookends for Christmas. Depending on where they end up in our house, I may spray paint them a nice gold or navy color. They are so cute!
Andrea says
FAB ME!!
Love this site myself, they have some great stuff :)
My quirky item is a stain glass window made from an old farmhouse window by a local artist…that I have hanging on a wall. I don’t have a window appropriate to hang it in but I loved it so I had to get it and HAD to hang it somewhere and it actually looks great on the wall!
LARY@ Inspiration Nook says
“FAB ME!”
I love this quirky HELLO sing I built for our living room. Also our yellow chevron wall in our home office/guest room.
Annemie says

FAB ME!!!
We have a zebra print bench that travels around our home depending on the mood. I got it for free at an estate sale and it is probably my favorite piece that we own!
Laurie says
FAB ME!
We’re listing our house in two weeks so we’ve tried to pare down the wacky decor. Cross your fingers for a quick sale!
Ryan M says
FAB ME!
I have a large collection of vinyl toys in my office. Dunnys, Smorkin’ Labbits and more. People who don’t know what they are usually leave the room with a baffled look on their face.
Angie says
FAB ME!!
We have a strange brown monkey cupping a tealight holder and a taxodermy pirhana that was a gag gift. I don’t think our home would be complete without them!
Jags says
FAB ME!
I have a bold hand print known as “bandhini print” done by local artists from India framed in my living room which is very colorful. You can google to view the pics.
Mary Beth says
FAB ME! I love all my awesome North Carolina/ Raleigh prints. Quirky and personable.
