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.

Lisa Leonard Pic1

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 hang some of my favorite necklaces over picture frames that are on my bedroom dresser. That way even though I’m not wearing them, I can enjoy their beauty. I also love to hang simple totes around the house that look cute out on a door knobs.

    Um, any day when the closet items are in the closet and not scattered haphazardly about the house is a good day. But I do love to see some brightly colored rain boots by the back door.

    I am currently looking for another set of curtains to hang behind my curtains in the bedroom. They are cream while our walls are tan, so they are fading into the wall. Looking for the perfect curtain complement is like trying to find the PERFECT accessory to top to go with another piece of the outfit. I will just know when I find it!!

    The jewelry is amazing. I would love to get a necklace with “house keys” as a momento to celebrate the purchase of our first home in October 2009.

    I don’t have any of my purses out for the world to see at the moment, but when I was in college we had a cork strip around our dorm room and I hung my purses strategically around the room to give us a pop of color…and of course show off some of my favorite purchases!

    I used to decorate extensively with my random collection of scarves. Since I moved in with my boyfriend though, I’ve toned it down quite a bit. Now just I just have a few on my dresser.

    I do the opposite, where I use home decor as fashion. I have a bunch of sewing baskets and tackel boxes, etc that I use as purses. They are always a conversation piece.

    I use to rock a mad scarf collection that would have doubled nicely as seasonal swag-worthy cloths but sadly I ditched a good portion in the declutter process long before I was of the reuse/repurpose mindset.

    I have sort of a retro 50’s-style party dress on a nice hanger on the outside of my wardrobe. It kind of makes me feel like I’m perpetually getting ready for a Sadie Hawkins Day dance or something.

    Oh man, for the most part I wish my clothes doubled as home-decor a little less – closet space is at a premium at my house. My necklaces do hang on a little knob rack from Ikea – they’re nice to look at (and maybe I can add to the collection with some Lisa Leonard beauty). Thanks!

    I’ve had quite a few things in my closet that eventually got recycled (or is it upcycled?) to decor. I most recently used an old pair of cordaroy pants to recover a big floor pillow who’s (also cordaroy) fabric had faded from navy to a gross purple.
