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!
Bringing the outside in is an easy and inexpensive way I like to dress up my home – flowers, fern snipings, fresh fruit in a bowl, there are so many possibilities.
Holly says
IT’S A CINCH!!!
I run around like I’m on fire making the bed and throwing clothes and shoes behind closed doors – I’m extremely unorganized when it comes to by bedroom, although the rest of the house stays decent.
Kristen says
IT’S A CINCH!
I think opening the windows and pulling back the drapes makes everything seem fresher and cleaner. And a quick sweep of the kitchen floor. My whole house feels clean if my kitchen is clean.
Sue says
It’s a Cinch! Easy peasy – 5 minute clean-up sweep tip I received a long time ago; (The beds are required to be made every day – so that should not be an issue). Take a bag -brown paper- to each room – write the corresponding room, grab all clutter, toss it in and put the bags in the jacket closet.
Cleaned and ready to entertain!

Just picking up and cleaning makes the house look so much more inviting!
Chris says
It’s a cinch!
Vacum – the stripes on the ground will tell everyone – don’t worry I’m really, really clean
Sarah says

My trick for dressing up the house is to vaccum up all the dog hair bunnies. ;) That and I sweep clutter from horizontal surfaces (it’s like a magnet at our house!) to somewhere less visible.

In general, straightening things up and setting the table (even if we arent going to use it) seem to be great “pull it together” tricks for us. Oh, and if its evening, dim the lights, and light some candles and lamps and VOILA! no one notices the small imperfections, but instead sees the pictures and sculptures etc that I’ve placed near the lamps and candles.

flowers always work for a quick dress up!
Melissa says
IT’S A CINCH!
These are so great! Love them!
We clean like mad and then turn lamps on in each room (instead of overhead lighting) for a more cozy feel. We also light some candles and put small bouquets of fresh flowers in bud vases scattered throughout the house.

Making the bed, definitely. And generally cleaning up…putting away the odds and ends.
Sharon Mormance says
It’s a cinch!
A quick vacuuming of the floors and straightening of the couch pillows, fresh flowers and a lighting a few candles is my quick house dress up.
Amanda says
It really is a cinch!
My favorite way to invite people into my home is with fresh baked cookies. No one seems to notice if items are out of place (shoes left near the sofa where they were kicked off, or keys left on the kitchen island etc) if there are fresh cookies! Not only are they warm and delicious, but the aroma fills the house with a yummy smell too!
Of course if I don’t have time to bake cookies, I light a candle and pull some plants out of the windows to spotlight them on the tables!
Jess says
It’s a cinch!
Clearing off the kitchen table and replacing the stacks of mail with some fresh flowers!

Its A Cinch!! We love freshly cleaned floors and fresh flowers in a couple of places for a pick me up.
Kim G says
It’s a cinch!
Cleared and vacuumed floors and an inexpensive bunch of flowers usually do the trick.
Lisa R. says
IT’S A CINCH!! ;)
I de-clutter and swipe surfaces (quick vacuum if I have time), light a candle, and turn on some music.
augusta says
IT’S A CINCH!
Cleaning off my coffee table and picking up the dogs toys always make my apt feel so much cleaner!
Melody says
It’s A Cinch!
Clean…just the house being clean!
Kate in CA says
It’s a cinch! Love these!
Picking up all our loose ends (usually shoes & dog toys) make the biggest difference. Also, things with right angles just look neater, so we’ll just straighten our magazines & pile our bills on the coffee table in a pinch! :)
Tonni says
It’s a cinch!
At our house, keeping the table clear of clutter is the quickest way for me to feel like the place is spiffy!
Though I absolutely love it when the grocery store tulips are on clearance for $.99!
SG says
IT’S A CINCH… vacuuming and making my bed.
Kristi says
It’s a cinch! I am a big fan of making the functional things decorative. I love a good solid color platter with accent fruit/ greenery/ stationary in it. Fresh!
Sarah says
IT’S A CINCH, candles and flowers are always a quick fix for tidying up the place!
Laurie says
It’s a Cinch!!
Fluff the pillows, open the blinds, and clean up the dog hair!!
Gord says
IT’S A CINCH
Natalie says
IT’S A CINCH!! Run the vacuum over the rug )so it shows those snazzy “I just vacuumed” lines), light a candle, put away mail/catalogs scattered on the counters and you’re set for guests or just that “clean” feeling!
p.s. I LOVE the Green set!
Sherise says
Its a Cinch!

When we have company over I always try to have fresh flowers out and a candle burning.
Cheyenne says
IT’S A CINCH!!!
I clean the house, vacuum the cat hair (darn cats), light a bazillion candles, and turn on some mood music! In fact, will be doing that this weekend!
amber says
What a great idea! IT’S A CINCH!!
I always open my curtains showing off my two big beautiful windows in my living room that I LOVE and I turn on my scentsy for a fresh aroma.
Judith says

Kerri says
it’a s cinch! after tidying, a lighted candle always does the trick!

IT’S A CINCH! I have a 4 year old at home so usually picking up a few toys or pieces of preschool art work off the floor makes a big difference for us.

IT’S A CINCH! Simply picking up all the junk lying around and tossing it out of sight makes the house look 100% better!

“IT’S A CINCH”
We usually need to pick up the clutter that seems to pile up in places and light some candles or turn on the scentsy for a fresh smell. Thank you!
Janet says

Tidy the toys, clean the toilet and sink and organize the shoes in the front doorway and the house feels like new. At least for a short while!
