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 have these silk sarong skirts that I keep thinking are going to be used as tableclothes on side tables this spring. They are gorgeous! I also have a collection of white nightgowns, they are from a catalog that does reproduction pieces and they look great hanging from a row of hooks on my door. Sounds odd but it always makes me happy to see them.

    I own more than a few brightly colored hats, scarves, and jackets. I sometimes leave them hanging on the coat hooks by the door, not because I wore them earlier in the week, but because the coat rack is the first thing I see when I walk in the door and the bright colors make me happy.

    I have a white ceramic egg crate in which I keep my jewelry. It’s displayed on our dark wood dresser. I love the contrast. And everyone comments on it when they see our bedroom. I wonder where I got the idea… :-) Not really something I wear, but it’s a really cool display piece that was originally meant to be in the fridge!

    I love patterns! All of my favorite dresses have sweet patterns all over them. In my bedroom, the bedding and the walls are also covered in patterns. I can’t paint in my apartment, so I have tapestries completely covering all 4 walls in my bedroom. It’s so inviting and comfortable to have fabric on the walls!

    I recently installed an entryway shelf that has a mirror, drawers and hooks. I like hanging my brightly colored purses as home decor. A Purple one, red one and green purse just incase I need a quick wardrobe change or just to brighten the entryway!

    I have a not-so-small obsession with J.Crew, more specifically their dresses. I have always wanted to take all the dresses in my closet, cut out squares of fabric from them (gasp! I could never do it) and then frame the colourful, artful pieces in a photo collage on the wall in our living room.

    WEAR ME! Sometimes I think a nicely organized closet should be on display for the world to see! I’ll leave my closet open occasionally to let the shoes & scarves & purses peek out! There’s a lot of pretty stuff that you keep in a closet that you can’t wear everyday…might as well enjoy looking at it in the closet!
