Fab Freebie: Housewears

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***

Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.

I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).

Lisa Leonard Pic2

And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:

  • PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
  • PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    I have a few scarves that I got while traveling that I drape over small tables from time to time. I also keep sweaters on the backs of all my chairs. That isn’t really decorating as much as it is me being too lazy to tidy up.

    As our closet door often stands open, the joy of an old house with doors that swell, our whole closet tends to act as an extension of our bedroom. But, it is well organized and my purses and jewelry are neatly displayed, so it isn’t a big deal.

    I actually wish my closet itself could double as home decor! I have a walk-in closet, but with the addition of two new kittens to the household in December, the closet has had to remain closed all the time until they’re a little further along in their training. I’d love to have my walk-in back!

    I’ve got a collection of vintage suitcases from my Mom full of off-season clothing that I use as a side table in my living room. The more contemporary, boring suitcases … remain in the closet.

    I had a roommate in college who would buy old prom dresses from trift shops and collect them from friends (not the really ugly ones, but ones made of beautiful fabrics and in interesting colors). She hung them in her room– from curtain rods, draped and swagged along the walls– we were both art majors and she was really interested in dance and movement so her installations represented that. I haven’t done anything quite like it yet, but I think some day when I have my own studio space…

    I have a dress and I LOVE the texture and colour of the fabric, and I wish I had a cushion made out of it.
    and I sometimes decorate with my jewellery, as I have lots of earrings and necklaces i don’t wear anymore, but would never throw them away, as I they’re linked to special occasions/holidays/events.

    I have a long funky “necklace” that is actually a set of antique nomadic prayer beads I picked up in Arizona in a cool little antique shop. Every once in awhile they show up somewhere else in the house – hanging out of a little bowl, or hanging on a hook.

    Well, in college I used my purses (I had about 20) as decoration on the college bedroom wall for decoration. Now that I own a house, nothing really in the closet is in my decor, but I bet I could use some old funky style tights as a home decor style…maybe over a vase, pot, or lamp?

    I’d love to take my kelly green and gold scarf from Africa and inspire a room with it. The color is so vibrant and the gold is faint but definitely there. I’d get cool lamps and a tea set with big comfy chairs.
