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!

    In college that was my favorite way to decorate! It not only saved me money, but also made it much easier when it came time to move. My costume jewelry, hats, and purses were always on display!

    Truthfully, nothing in my closet fits with my house. For clothing I wear a lot of black, white, and bright colors. My home is much more muted with off white, olive green, tan, etc. My kitchen soon will have more brilliant colors in it, but for now it’s all very earthy colored.

    Wear Me — or pick me, so I can wear one! I have a couple of shirts I’ve been saving for years just because I love the fabric so much. One’s a flannel button down in great spring colored plaid. The other is a wide stripe in a variety of melon colors. Love them — and some day I WILL get around to making pillows (or something) out of them.

    My favorite dress in the whole wide world is a green 1940’s style tea length with a smudgy flower print. Every time I look at it, I wish I could capture the feeling that it gives me and bring that feeling into our living room. Not to mention, drapes made from that material would be killer!

    Mine is kinda strange…. I’d like to have pillows made from my husband’s shirts. But the catch is that I want his scent to stay on them forever. I don’t care which shirts, or what they look like. I’m just after that smell……that way when he is gone (he’s in the military, so that’s a lot!) I can snuggle up to a pillow and feel like he’s with me.

    Whenever I clean out my closet, I set aside a pile of clothing articles that I would love to turn into something useful (or maybe because I’m too cheap to throw old clothes out). So far I have lots of bags of clothes but not in a decorative way.

    When my daughter’s were babies/toddlers, I put a line of pegs on their bedroom walls and hung their bright, colorful, full-of-whimsy dresses as part of their room decor. It was constantly changing and so cheerful! :)

    You got me thinking now! I do own a few dresses and blouses from Anthropologie. I love the feeling of Anthro’s stores and wish I could duplicate that into my own home! I do own their Volcano candle, so at least my house smells of Anthro.

    My most recently purchased pair of shoes – gold, but not too gold. Feminine, but not uber girly. I’d turn them into some kind of throw pillow if possible. Now I’m just waiting for the snow to melt so I can sport my pretty new spring flats.
