Fab Freebie: From Our House To Yours

*** 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)…

Img 3365

…Sherry’s cherished white Ceramic Rhino (priced at $25)…

Rhino From Zgallerie Cerami

…and two, count ’em two, Lucerne Sconces (totalling $80):

Candle Sconce Detail

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…

Find out more about our freebies right here on our Giveaway FAQs page.

    FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! Wow! Fabulous. The signature pieces in our house would have to be the guitar and violin that are hanging on the wall above our mantel. It makes for beautiful art on many levels. :)

    FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! What a great giveaway! Signature pieces– Glass jars filled with shells, dry navy beans, corks, and matchbooks that I have collected. Have at least one jar in every room! Spray painting nearly everything white, HUGE round mirror I recently found at a HomeGoods, 46″ diameter, have never seen anything like it. Can’t wait to spray paint the metal outerlay white and then hang it!

    i would say either a sweet wooden candle holder i got during my time in Malawi, Africa… it’s two giraffes with intertwining necks. ooooor maybe a hand-me-down-hand-me-down crazy, ribbed, glass bowl from my sister in law. It’s a beautiful light aqua color (a favorite color of mine, obvious in my house)

    My signature? I don’t think I have one … other than kid clutter. Maybe the red bench in our “mudroom”? Or the original poster from WWII era that shows a woman and her daughter in her kitchen, canning fruit and veggies? Maybe?? :o)

    I LOVE your site,,, I try to stop by daily… found it on a search for a capiz shell chandelier…(which I did purchase)..

    I love your style.. and the way you have re-modeled your home..its beautiful..:-) We too live in an old home and have totally made it our own.. it took Many years (19 to be exact) of construction…

    I would say I have many signature pieces.. Possibly my homemade toss pillows.(On our bed and on the sofas) I rarely buy a toss pillow)..or maybe my daughters homemade canopy over her bed… or …when I purchase something.. or find someones no longer wanted items.. if they do not fit my decor.. I make them fit..:-) by paint.. fabric…or whatever it takes.. I see a vision and go with it..:-)).I have many pieces that I have made to fit our home.. I especially love the ones..that were once someones trash.. I call these my signature pieces..:-)sorry for the long post..lol..I really enjoy your site..:-))

    My signature item would have to be either my books (I’m a voracious rader) or a white Anthropolgie pitcher that looks like it has barnacles on it. I use it to hold my spatulas/wooden spoons/other kitchen utensils. I’ve looked forever, but for the life of me can’t find the name of it. It had a matching bowl too, but I bought the pitcher for cheap on eBay and haven’t been able to find the bowl.

    As a Bio major and future Biology/Life Science teacher, I think my style is mostly influenced by designs and shapes found in nature. I am a big fan of Alfons Mucha and classic nature prints. Your house is so inspiring, I can’t wait to get my own, roll up my sleeves, and get to work!

    We just framed a 16×20 picture of our puppy sleeping for the living room. It was really just cheap artwork, but everyone that comes over thinks it suits us perfectly. It adds a little whimsy to the room and we are totally obsessed with our pets!

    FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! Let’s see…signature item. I’d have to say the jungle mural that my daughter & I painted in our basement when we first moved here several years ago. No rhyme or reason for it…just something crafty to do and pretty random. That’s me!

    I don’t know if it’s signature of us, but I love our large leaning Ikea Mongstad mirror in our bedroom. Everyone comments on it, including anyone that has serviced our house in the last year, and I just love it. Frankly, I love anything that looks way more expensive than it actually is.

    FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE! My signature piece, or should I say pieces, are pictures. I love taking pictures and having them around the house because not only do they become conversation pieces but they are a great way to remember how wonderful life is! A picture of my cat in an empty case of Poland Springs water can really cheer a person up, let me tell you! Thanks Sherry and John and ZGallerie!

    The thing I would most say is my signature piece was actually my moms. She gave it to me. It is a dark brown leather tufted couch with a straight back and sides. Its from the seventies and I love it so much I even built my decor around it!
