*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries ***
This giveaway can be summed up in two words (well, one’s technically just a letter): Z Gallerie.
The fine people at the big Z.G. have been very good to us (you may remember the kind birthday present they recently sent Sherry), and now they’re about to be very good to one of you. They’ve graciously offered up not one, not two, not even just three, but FOUR pieces of their collection to one lucky reader. And we can personally vouch for each item because (here’s our favorite part) they’re all accessories that we’ve purchased for our own home. Yep, consider it your own little Young House Love starter kit of sorts. It includes:
The Large Atlantis Clam Shell (which we use as a fruit bowl in our kitchen, priced at $45)…
…Sherry’s cherished white Ceramic Rhino (priced at $25)…
…and two, count ’em two, Lucerne Sconces (totalling $80):
That’s $150 worth of our favorite items from Z Gallerie. We had to buy ’em all (actually, I think every single one was a birthday present for Sherry at some point) but one of you is going to get them all on the house. To enter just comment on this post with the words “FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!” by Wednesday, May 6th at 8pm EST. And while you’re there, we’d love to hear what you might consider a “signature item” in your home. Maybe something that you think is “so you” or that your friends would say is perfectly representative of your style. This giveaway is only open to US residents and only one entry per e-mail address is permitted. We’ll announce the randomly selected winner on Thursday. Good luck…
Oh, and is anyone surprised that all of the items are white? Didn’t think so…

My signature piece is definitely our didgeridoo from the time we spent living in Australia!

Wendy says
Wow – what a fab response you’ve received! We love the Z! I guess my signature item would be fresh flowers on the dining room table. Like you guys, I try to keep them around most of the time because they do so much to brighten a room. Have a great week!
Oh, and…FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!

Hmmm…a signature piece? I’m still working on it.
Carrie says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! I’m lucky enough to start with a clean slate in my new place – and I want those sconces in my entry way. I love the blog and all the fun ideas you all come up with.
Tiffany says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! Our signature pieces include our dala horse collection and welcome sign. These travel with us wherever we move and celebrate my husband and mine’s combined Swedish heritage. We want our children to know about their past and be proud of the country of our ancestors.
Debbie Dame says
“FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!” I love what you have done with your home, you have the best ideas:) I would just love to win any one of these items…but all 4 WOW!!!

My husband is an artist, so having his work on the walls is important to us, but we do have a number of mid-century pieces. A great black fruit bowl, a collection glass coffee carafes. A big stinky dog.
Jen says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!, please :)

I wish I could say I have a signature item, but we’re in the very beginning stages of renovating our house. We’ll be there soon!
Shannon says
From your house to mine! Our signature piece is a big blue and white stretched canvas sailboat print. Love your blog!
Grace N. says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! These clean white pieces will look GREAT next to my signature pieces, bold colored glass vases and bowls.
Ashley says
From your house to mine!
We have lots of things that are very representative of us, but I think our eclectic mix of cool accessories mixed with silly things like wooden brainteasers in a bowl on the coffee table or the oil painting my husband made when he was younger of his childhood best friend (Curious George) we have in our dining room.
Manisha says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! Our signature pieces would probably be anything brown/cream/white since I can’t seem to decorate without it!
Jillian says

I think my signature piece is my Eiffel Tower lamp. It’s the one from Target, but my dad bought it for me and my friends always comment on it.
Devin says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! :) Yipes – this is the first freebie giveaway I’ve entered!! lol But I’m absolutely in LOVE w/everything that ZGallerie sells!! As for my signature piece here at home… I would have to say is this cream and sugar set that was given to my husband and I as a wedding gift. The history behind them is what makes them so special tho… My great-grandfather traveled all over the world (he was a professor) and went to India… and while there, he found this jewlry/silver maker and asked him to make him this set in which the entire design of them is out of intricate hearts (ALL OUT OF SILVER!!!) – and had them made for my great-grandmother. The set is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL and very close to my heart. They are definitely the prized posession here! <3 xo

Signature item? Has to be the pieces from family. Combined with new pieces..they are the things that make our HOME the place we feel most comfortable through the memories they keep alive.
Brianne says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!
The signature items in my house would definitely be candles and lots of picures. People always coment on how many pictures of friends and family I have out and how they work with the rest of the room.
Celeste says

My signature thing is a swirl or wave of some kind. There’s something in every room – in a curtain, wall art, sconce, candle holder, picture frame, etc.
Heather says

Love the rhino.
Krista says

White! ~ starfish, furniture, accessories…or pale aquas too.
Bethany says

My signature pieces are my collection of glass and crystal candlesticks. I love arranging a group of them using simple white emergency candles. It creates instant drama and sets the mood in the room to be either cozy or romantic.
Here is one grouping from last year:

And, finally, I firmly believe that EVERYONE looks better by candlelight. ;)

(Note: A few of these shown (the most unique or expensive, of course) were shattered in the great Dresser Toppling Over event of late 2008. My heart was broken because each piece was chosen so carefully. I am finally starting to find a few new pieces to put with my collection to get over the ones I lost.)
Lexi says

I love all of my things so much I can not just pick one. BUt my newest love would have to be my new lamp shade from Urban Outfitters I scored on clearance for $4!
Jonez says

My signature item is my cast iron skillet. A new investment I’m looking forward to using.
Shannon says
“FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!”
I want the shell bowl!!! Pretty please!
Tawna says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!!
My signature item is probably my funky red/white fabric covered compy chair that I just did myself. The Hubby and I are finishing up college and looking to move into a real house…so I cant go too nutzo decorating…YET! :D
Kate in CA says
From your house to mine!
I have been coveting that clam shell for ages!!!
As for signature piece, I’d say mirrors. I have mirrors in every room of my house. We have very little natural light and they really help to make the house seem brighter. :)
Alice says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!!!
Love the blog, you guys are awesome!
Autumn says
“FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!”
I simply ADORE that rhino! *Crosses fingers, toes, and eyes*
I think that my signature piece is a statue of an organ grinder’s monkey. He’s sitting back on his haunches with his front paws extended and the little fellow even has a fez on his head. I think he captures our more whimsical, fun loving side. Now if I can just get my paws on that rhino! I’d love to add him to our menagerie!

Sadly, I don’t think we have a signature item — certainly signature colors. Every single room is painted a rich, saturated color, and that’s probably the most distinctive feature of our place.
Elizabeth Haig says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!!!
I have to many signature pieces to list. LOL
tammy says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! My signature piece others swoon over would have to be a wooden primitive dough bowl (trench style-very pottery barn looking) with a color very similar to your georgous wood floors.
dawn says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!
my signature item are beachy things in each room: starfish, coral, shells, sand and beach photos that serve as momentos of family vacations and remind this cali girl of home!
Melissa H says
From your house to mine- yippee! Our sig piece must be a burnt orange sofa! Its just about the only thing that stands out in our new home!

Emily says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! i suppose my signature items would be anything handmade by me, from my pottery, to my paintings (although none of them are exactly Picassos!)
Kelly S. says

Signature item might have to be my Ikea kitchen. I live in very cookie-cutter tract, and my kitchen is definitely unique in the way it reflects my style. Plus, looking at that top picture, I think we might have the same granite counters!

Wow! Wanna know how long it took me to scroll down to get here?!? Where did everyone come from?! lol…
“FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!”
We haven’t bought out first house yet, so we haven’t really decorated. But for now, I am known for pictures of the kids in fantastic, eclectic picture frames!

My signature pieces are my three Luigi Colani elephant banks from the 70s (all different sizes – mustard yellow, olive green, and deep orange). They’re such fun pieces and they look so cute grouped together.
