***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
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…

In attempts to sprucing up my home for guests, I usually take about 10 minutes in each room tidying up but mostly candles, flowers, incents, spotlights and most importantly MUSIC does the trick!

Fluffing pillows and couch cushions and making sure everything is put away in it’s “designated space” helps me feel like things are picked up and spruced up in a hurry.

I have a house full of boys, so just cleaning up and putting toys away feels like redecorating. “Oh my gosh! I forgot we had this awesome rug!”

The window idea is great. We always have puppy nose prints and cleaning the windows makes a huge diff.
Colleen says
IT’S A CINCH
I vacuum, put candles and music on, fresh flowers and if the decor feels old – I switch up the pillows on the bed with the ones on the couch and chair- since we have mostly neutral decor with punches of color retained to the accessories it makes everything feel fresh and new!

When we want an instant transformation. We change up the lighting. We have dimmers on our lights that we turn down and light about a gazillion candles we have around the house. voila! And the smell is amazing!
Miki says
IT’S A CINCH! To quickly spruce things up, I bring in greenery from outside (don’t always have flowers on hand) and open all blinds and curtains. Having things bright and airy makes a huge difference in the appearance of our home.

It’s a cinch. My house always feels cleaner and better when there is no clutter. If I can get the stacks of mail and magazines and everything else that builds up on the counters and coffee table put away….I can sit and relax.

IT’S A CINCH!
A quick 15 minute run through the house to pick up clutter and throw it all in a basket in the closet seems to work for me!
Beverly Lynn says
“IT’S A CINCH” I am always amazed at the difference that a fresh mowed lawn makes, even if the grass wasn’t that long to begin with.
A little bowl or jar of candy is a way to add a bit of color. Right now I have a jar of jellybellys on my coffee table.
Constance says
It’s a Cinch! Whenever I learn company’s coming over, it’s mainly a quick sweep of the main living rooms to clean up any clutter, a quick vacuum (two cats leave lots of hair around), and spray my favorite concentrated room spray from Bath and Body Works — Creamy Nutmeg — it always leaves the house smelling fresh and cozy! Thanks for the chance to win, I love the black and white damask print set!
Susan says
“It’s a Cinch”
Right before company comes in I dust the coffee table and dining room table and put away anything that doesn’t belong on them.
Jen says
It’s a Cinch!
Decluttering is the best thing to make our house look more put together. Stash the remotes, magazines in the rack, straighten the pillows (which would look quite lovely with one of those schnazzy corsets!) and we look organized!
Melissa says
It’s a cinch! I open the blinds and curtains to let lots of light in first thing in the morning except for really hot sunny days.

I love to get new place mats, or table linens to add color and freshness to our loft. Gerber daisies in old coke bottles are a favorite too!

It’s a cinch!
I’m not really the best “decorator,” but when I need a room to feel better, I bring in some flowers and open the windows. Fresh air and a bit of color do wonders.
