*** 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…

What an awesome giveaway! I always see something on your blog and want to copy it instantly — so this would work our perfectly!! I don’t think I have a signature item, but I have to have candles of some sort in every room – does that count???

I have just started collecting “signature” items, but I will have to go with my giraffe print rug in my dining room.

We’re currently renovating so I don’t have much of a signature piece… But, there are several things that currently stick out in my mind. Everyone always comments on my white obsession – velvet couches, everything in the bathroom, kitchen, linens, etc. And, I literally put a signature on almost everything that I buy. I believe in not buying something unless you love it because I’m a sucker for sales & Home Goods (& I’ve recovered from those mistakes). However, I rarely find something I love (unless I’m in Z Gallerie or another store that is simply unreasonable in price point for my budget). So, I buy things that I can make into something I love with a little extra paint, embellishment, etc. Therefore, it’s literally my signature.

I am just beginning to collect items for my home, so I don’t have a signature yet, one thing that will always be important to me though, an amazing closet!

From your house to mine! I think all of our Wisconsin Badger gear throughout our house probably screams “me”.
Nichole says
From your house to mine. Yeah! What a great giveaway! The item in my house that gets the most comments right now is a large rolling rooster basket from Wisteria http://www.wisteria.com/Wheeled-Animal-Baskets-Large-Rooster/productinfo/W2898/ I use mine to hold an assortment of cloth napkins. The husband (who is not a fan) has threatened to tell the mother-in-law that I now collect rooster stuff. The consequences of such an action are too horrible to contemplate!

the local artists there are amazing.

I think my signature item would be our place settings on the dining room table. I like to change out the placements and napkins when the season, feeling or mood strikes me… :-)
Sandra says

I know exactly where I’d put those sconces. How exciting! Congratulations to the winner, and thanks to the youngsters and Z Gallerie!

I think the thing that defines me in my house is anything and everything white. From my white towels to white candles to white accent pieces throughout the house. People gasp in surprise when I buy brown towels or a piece of servingware that isn’t white. :)

One of my signature items is a metal crab that I bought the last time I was at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. It’s painted all manner of bright colors and fits in with my theme of anything beachy!
Angie says

Wow, tons of comments already. Thanks for the giveaway.
Ellen says

I think the white rhino would make great friends with my key lime green ceramic horse ‘bust’!
Good luck everyone!

“FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!” (with fingers crossed!)
I would say my hubby and I’s signature item is the quilt I made for him for his 30th birthday – he played basketball in college and my dad was his coach! That is how we met…so for his 30th I got my dad to round up my dear hubby’s old basketball jerseys from when he played in college and I turned them into a quilt – it is a great way to remember his college basketball career, and what ultimately brought us together! :)
P.S. First time posting, but I lurk on your blog DAILY – it is my lunchtime break and I look forward to your new posts every day to get inspired!!

I LOVE Z Gallerie! Everytime I go into one of their locations, I leave wanting to just redecorate my home with their items.
Signature item . . . hmm, that would be the letters or words scattered in some way, shape, or form around my house. I like using single large letters as a design element, or spelling out something with multiple letters. Visually, the graphical nature of unfussy typography really appeals to me. I use it on my scrapbooks and mini albums alot as well.

FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!!!!!
Oh MY, how timely!! I spent over an hour at ZGallerie this morning, spending my Mother’s Day gift card. I settled on the new White Nikko Fountain and a matching ceramic book to set it on. These are SURE to become my new signature pieces when we finally move and get settled. For now, they’re on my dresser here in my temporary room, and they are definitely signature. Thanks you guys, I am a ZGallerie addict in the making! :)
Julie says

I LOVE the sconces and think they would be perfect in my house! I guess cake plates would be my thing even though they aren’t really meant as a decoration… I have mine out on shelves for the world to see!
Aimee says

I think we have a few signature pieces in our house. We have a silver airplane model inside our front door, with a propeller that spins (Husband is a pilot), along with a glass fish vase from Target with an open mouth, which houses our shell collection and sand from the beach from our honeymoon in the Cayman Islands. Great conversation starters! :)
Crossing Fingers!!!

Our signature items are probably our huge wine glasses and long L-shaped couch. Our couch is the only one big enough for us and our 4 best friends, so we’re always having get-togethers at our place. And when that happens, drinks are flowing, but luckily we don’t have to get up every two seconds for refills because the glasses are so big!
Jenn says
FROM YOUR HOUSE TO MINE!
My signature item(s) are souvenir photos of places I’ve traveled and lived. When I visit a place I always purchase local art to display and remember my trip by.
Lyndy says

My signature in every house are my great grandmother’s luminaries. If there is not a mantle to put them on, I have to make one!
Ashley B says

Our “signature” item is a painting handed down to me from my grandmother – the ocean at sunset.

I heart that clamshell. I need it:)) My signature piece has to be the Astrid chair in Naive Tropical from Anthro. After coveting that chair for over a year, but not wanting to pay the crazy price plus shipping, I walked into the store just as they were marking the floor model down to less than a third of the price. I snapped it up and stuck that bad boy in my backseat and everyone always says that it is so “me”. I absolutely love it!

Wow! What a giveaway! I would have to say that our signature piece would be a cherry armoire we bought off of Craigslist a few years ago before we moved into our first apartment. We’re about to buy our first house and it really sums up our style…classic & chic, even secondhand! I love it!
Mary Anne says

I have a killer hot pink slipper chair from West Elm that everyone looks at and says, “that is so you”!

A painting called “Moving Day” that we got as an engagement present.
