*** 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).
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!

Wear me! And pick me too!
I have a few pillows in my living room which used to be clothes. And a few clothes that used to be sheets. It’s pretty much a use it or lose it mentality around here. I’m into recycling :)
This is an amazing giveaway. Ohhhhh, I hope I win. I have been eying Lisa’s gorgeous jewelry for a long time.
Shannon says
Wear Me! I’m not a shoe-addict or anything, but I do love nice, different and interesting shoes. So I display them. Cheetah print wedges on the credenza, special edition Hi-top Chuck Taylors on the book shelf. If it’s weird, quirky or just beautiful, I’ll put it on display, even if it is a pair of shoes. I think the shape, design and work that goes into a nice pair of shoes deserves to be admired. I actually plan on creating some deep shadow boxes so I can have a wall of shoes!
Shelley says

I had a bookshelf in my dorm room in undergrad with open slats in the back, so I wove a pretty scarf through it!

“WEAR ME”
I have all my scarves hung of a strangely placed towel bar, I love the way it looks (almost like a painting) and it makes it easy to add some splash to an outfit…

Wear me!
I’ve used chunk beaded braclets as filler for glass jars and bowls.
Rachel says
WEAR ME! I just upholstered our dining room chairs in a fabric that was as close as I could find to a beautiful black and white graphic scarf I have. They look FAB! And I can coordinate with my chairs when I wear the scarf!
Sayer says

Laura says
wear me!
I would love to make a quilt out of some of the t-shirts in my closet.
Jill says
Wear Me!
I’ve long had a dream to create a space to hang my hand-knitted collection, so I can add some hand-dyed yummy texture to a room. Maybe uniform polished wood knobs? Or maybe photos blown up on big linen canvases if the actually hanging the articles is too fussy?
Lori says
WEAR ME! I have a few scarves that double as table runners ever so often.
tara says
wear me! i hang hats on the wall…
daniele says
Wear Me! We have a “leg lamp” (from the movie A Christmas Story) with it’s cute fishnet stockings and sweet shoe in our family room. It’s a cute miniature version… or believe me it would not be in our family room!
kait says

Jenny says
WEAR ME! I use vintage aprons to decorate my kitchen, and made a tablecloth from an antique store into a valance to go above my kitchen window… I love vintage textiles and linens!
Katy says
WEAR ME!
I have a pleated dress that would make a gorgeous pillow, but there’s not way I would cut it up!
Andrea says
Wear Me!
I have a Dash & Albert rug bag that I keep on my laundry room door, which is right by the carport door in our kitchen. Not only does it look great but is an easy bag to grab when I have to carry a lot of stuff with me.
sarah says
WEAR ME!
I can’t say there’s much in my closet that would also work for my house decor.
Katie B. says
WEAR ME! I have a straw hat I hang up as a decoration in the kitchen and I grab it and wear it when I go out to work in the flower garden.
the monogrammed mrs. says
Wear me! Wear me!
I have a dress that looks like a lampshade! Ha! Does that count?!
Jenn H. says
Wear me!
I hang my scarves in a way in my closet so that if someone were to peek in there they’d (hopefully) see my nicely arranged scarves, rather than my messy shoes strewn about.
Erin says
Wear me!
I wish there was some way I could work some of my wedding colors or fabric into my normal decor. To spend so much time picking out something I love, it feels wrong to not see it any more.
Crystal says
WEAR ME!! :)
I turned an old skirt I LOVED and made it into a pillow. Kinda boring, but it has great sentiment!
sharon c. says
“wear me”
bridesmaid dresses make great throw pillows.
Ashling says

I hang all my necklaces off removeable hooks on the wall – it’s art, and solves the problem of their storage – woot!
k.e.jackson02 says
WEAR ME!
I made a skirt out of some curtains once…
Renee says
WEAR ME!
as some had said above I’d never really thought of making cute throw pillows out of old previously loved shirts or placemats out of that dress that doesn’t quite fit anymore but I sure will now! what a fab idea!
bannon squirewell says
WEAR ME – I have a dress that I love love love… if the zipper were to ever go, it will make perfect pillows on my living room couch!
Dawn says
Wow. Never thought of using something from my closet as home decor…. probably because my clothes are LUCKY if they are from this decade, whereas my home decor is what follows all the latest trends, LOL!
Michelle says
WEAR ME!!

Jen says
WEAR ME!
I need to go shopping, there’s nothing in my closet that I would want to showoff! :-)
Kimberly says
WEAR ME!
I have to credit my mother-in-law with this. My husband and I collected our old jeans and she made them into a patchwork quilt. Very heavy and very warm for those cold winter nights!
Janine Young says
Wear Me!
I’ve taken wire hangers, the cheapies from the drycleaners, and shaped them into various seasonal accents to decorate our home. Basically using wire cutters I trim them down to size and mold them into the desired shape, the most recent being hearts of various sizes for V-day. Then I paint them (this case white) and string them together with pretty ribbon (with the hearts I chose red). Easy as pie and I’ve always received lots of compliments from them!
Melissa says
“WEAR ME”
Kristen says
WEAR ME!!!! I can’t say that anything in my closet doubles as home decor. Maybe I am not that creative, but my entire closet is “on display” in my tiny apartment! My closet does not have doors and it is a walk way into my bathroom. Because of that, everything in my closet is always on display!
Eva Kolaczynska says
WEAR ME! from time to time, I take from my closet my very first bcbg sequined black dress that I got for my prom…I worked sooooo many weeks to afford it! Now I just like to look at it and hang it in my bedroom…and my wedding one, it hanging in the garage!
Jennifer says
Wear Me!!
I have my shoes organized on a bookshelf with a sign amongst them “One shoe can change your life – Cinderella”. They are my art!
Katie says
WEAR ME! i’ve used a fabulous broach as a push pin on my cork board for years. does that count?
Cayla says
Wear me! I always have my favorite vintage scarf hanging on the coat rack by the front door when I am not wearing it!
Karen says
WEAR ME!!
Steph says
Wear me!
I store all of my home decor in a closet… does that count? :)
