People sometimes question the purpose of Twitter, but when it helps us find great giveaways it certainly earns another point in our book. So imagine our delight when Fresh Leaf Designs tweeted us about giving away their signature Cushion Corset pillows to one of our lucky readers.
Okay, so it was actually a mix of delight and confusion. After all, what’s a cushion corset anyway? It’s actually a very smart and stylish solution to dressing up a plain ol’ pillow. Just like the name indicates, the corset (i.e. a band of bold fabric) wraps around the pillow and ties in the back creating a punchy accent pillow that, if your mood changes, can easily be “re-dressed” in another corset for a completely new look. Easy, right?
And as you can see from these pictures, Fresh Leaf Designs also sells complimentary throw pillows in coordinating fabrics to help bring even more color to your couch, chair or bed.
So if you wanna snag a set of Fresh Leaf’s great designs, just comment on this post with the words “IT’S A CINCH” by Wednesday, April 29th at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, tell us your easiest trick for dressing up your house in a flash (ex: fresh flowers? a quick window cleaning? a bowl of fruit on the table? simply making the bed?).
One winner will be randomly selected to receive their choice of the two pillow sets shown in this post. This giveaway’s open to all of our international readers as well as everyone in the good ol’ US of A. Please limit one entry per e-mail address. Good luck…

IT’S A CINCH!!! To echo many above: fresh flowers, fresh fruit, candles, and nothing like a thorough cleaning and opening all the windows to let the freshness in:)

It’s a cinch-I try to declutter and clean up all the paperwork that piles up throughout the week!
Jen Knox says
It’s a cinch!
Scented candles in the entrance way and bathroom are a sure way to fancy up a space. And putting our overly affectionate cats in the other room… ha ha.
Casie says
IT’S A CINCH.
I like to bake something sweet to fill the air with a yummy scent.
Missy says
IT’S A CINCH! I run the vacuum, Pledge the coffee table, hide the dog toys, straighten the daily newspaper, clean the kitchen counter, and tidy the bathrooms. It’s not really a cinch… just the opposite. I usually do a crazy dash all over the house. It’s madness!
Victoria says
IT’S A CINCH!
I clean the toilets, wipe down countertops/tables, spot vacuum, but most of all, light some candles! That’s an easy way to make the house feel homier and smell clean too! :) I love the b&w and the purple ones!
Kim says
It’s A Cinch!!

it’s a cinch!
adding a tablecloth and a centerpiece like flowers or a bowl of fruit instantly makes any table fancy schmancy. But usually making the bed and throwing clothes and clutter into a closet come before that!
Kathleen J. says
IT’S A CINCH! In addition to lighting lamps, I’ll throw a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies in the oven just before company comes over. Nothing says home like that smell!

It’s a cinch!
Honestly, a clean house looks pretty company ready to me. :p However, I buy fresh flowers at the farmer’s market every week and I love how a $5 bunch of flowers brightens our home!
Maureen Carroll says
It’s a cinch!
During the long winter months in Cleveland, OH, my roommate and I light our Seda France French Tulip candle. The smell of spring is concentrated into this beautifully fragrant candle and wrapped into a cute little pagoda-style box! It’s wonderful!
Shannon says
It’s a cinch!
I like to light candles, do a quick vacuum, and open up the windows to let in some fresh air.
Amy Jo says
It’s a cinch! I love the black set!
Mallory M says
When the house isn’t sparkling and I’m in a pinch, there’s one trick I turn too, I swear it’s a cinch. With a quick fluff of pillows and dimming of lights, the house quickly transforms into less of a fright. But wait, light the candles and turn on some tunes and we’ll be ready to host you in any of our rooms!
Fina says
“IT’S A CINCH” spray a great scent and make sure there is TP in the bathroom ;)

I make up the bed! I’ve always found that, even if the room is a wreck, if the bed is made, it’s harder for me to see the mess.
Jamie says
It’s a cinch!

Tarnya says
“IT’S A CINCH”
I love the pillow corsets…gorgeous.
I like to vacuum especially for guests as a good vacumming instantly makes the house seem cleaner (2 toddlers tend to leave crumbs everywhere all the time)and putting out fresh hand towels in the bathroom is a nice touch too.
Jacinta says
it’s a cinch!
YAY finally something for the international readers too.
I put the baby toys away…. ohhh yeah.
Regan Rothery says
It’s a cinch!
I know it sounds lame, but for me just putting everything in its place, running the vacuum over everything, and doing a quick dusting makes the house just feel more comfy. Too bad it doesn’t last! :)
Robyn says
IT’S A CINCH!
I have a “scentsy” warmer and it’s the best thing ever. Flip a switch and suddenly the whole house smells clean and inviting.
mallory says
It’s a cinch!
Not to sound like a suck up, but…..throw pillows! We have a neutral colored couch so tossing a few new throw pillows on there instantly changes the whole feel of the living room. I am loving the green set in the middle!!
Chelsea Payne says
IT’S A CINCH! Today, I was just looking at new pillows to spice up our couch when my husband and I move for him to go law school!
Jessica J says
IT’S A CINCH!
I always dust off our dark wood furniture, pick up the clutter, and light candles. 10 mins and done!
