Fab Freebie: It’s A Cinch

***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?

Fresh Leaf Designs

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.

Fresh Leaf Designs

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?).

Fresh Leaf Designs

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…

    Awesome product and giveaway

    Whoops forgot my fix for dressing up my house in a flash – it would be mostly dusting and Vacuuming. It’s so quick and easy and always make a HUGE difference.

    I like to dress my house up with lighted candles. When you see a candle flicker — it makes all the other stuff (pile of laundry, dust bunnies, dishes in the sink) dissappear!

    IT’S A CINCH!! My quit way to make the house presentable – toss the baby’s toys into the wicker chest that serves as our coffee table. Not having those jarringly-colored toys sitting out in the open definitely changes the vibe of the space!

    I vacuum and put on a fresh table cloth. With 5 little kids running around, the floor and the table are the messiest places in the house and it always looks better after a quick clean-up.

    The quickest way I spruce up our place is with fresh flowers, opening the windows to let the sunshine in, and lighting some scented candles. It’s instantly fresher!

    It’s a cinch! I think the best way to spruce up anything is simply picking up. If I find out that someone is coming over in 10 minutes, just by de-cluttering the counters, tables, etc, my place looks 100x better. And, people always say “Wow, your place is so clean!” Too bad they don’t know I only picked up for 10 min ;)

    For a quick freshen up around here I am a big fan of cleaning the flat surfaces…so, wipe down counters, sweep floor, clear toys off couch…Done! Preferably use a yummy smelling cleaner so the counters look good and the house smells nice all in one step!

    Best way is to deep clean the whole house! It’s amazing how “new” a house looks after it’s had a good scrub down.

    My version of a quick spruce up is dusting the front room! Of course there is also nothing like a newly vacuumed floor. If I am really lucky, I can get in a clean window or two or three!!
