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!

    With a little baby to take care of, I just throw every loose thing in my way into my closet so the place is somewhat functional. It is a style… of some sort.

    I like to display the vintage clutches given to me by my grandma and a close friend of the family. They have a great neutral color pallete, add a little sparkle to the room, and remind me of my loved ones.
    I love Lisa’s jewelry- thanks so much for hosting such a great giveaway!

    I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! Just wanted to give you a shout out since this is my first time posting. My fiancee and I live in a very small space (850 square ft), so I always enjoy reading how you both maximize space using cute storage containers.

    I have a dark wood shoe organizer at the foot of my bed that I display all of my colorful summer sandles in. It is a fun way to add more color to the foot of the bed!

    My mom once wanted to make a valance out of a dress she loved (but didn’t love wearing) she ended up buying this metal sculptural lady that now wears the dress on display in her bedroom. Kinda weird but totally my mom :)

    Adding another vote to the scarf-as-table-runner category.

    PS: Thx for the vacuum review earlier; we haven’t actually made the purchase yet, but did a lot of research on vacuums and concluded that the cost of a dyson wasn’t remotely worth it. In fact, the only thing we even liked about the dyson was if we shelled out even MORE for the ball, which really was amazingly maneuverable, but overall the product felt super cheap and breakable to us in stores. The one you ended up with is the same one we have all but settled on, so now that you reminded me I can get in on Amazon, I think I’ve decided what I will use my gift card balance for! With free shipping to boot, my bill will be a big $5! Thanks again.

    I’m not saying this is good design or anything, but I have a sarong from the Dominican Republic that during the summer I use as a swimsuit cover-up and when not in use hangs over a lamp to help soften the light so I can stay up a read a bit with my husband sleeps. Also adds some nice color. Someday I’ll just get a lamp that isn’t so bright!
