Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Office Space

| By John Petersik | June 10, 2013 | 162 Comments

Fab Freebie: Office Space

UPDATE: We’ve selected a winner below (Congrats Bridget!) but we also wanted to share that Kacy has another prize for everyone – a $5 coupon code (5OFFYHL)to use towards a purchase of The Inspired Office Poster. Enjoy!

Moving is just about the antithesis of feeling organized. Which is why we’ve lined up this giveaway from Kacy at The Inspired Office. She’s a professional organizer who specializes in turning your space into a functional, productive, and (dare we say it) pretty place as part of her virtual video consultation called The Blueprint. And speaking of pretty, she has taken nuggets of organizing wisdom from over 12 years of doing this and put them on a stylin’ silkscreen poster. And to get you even closer to Organizing Champ status, along with winning the poster and her organizing services, she’s also throwing in a $50 gift card to The Container Store, for a total prize value of over $350!

The Inspired Office

We’re doing a little re-organization ourselves this week too, so we’re taking the popular giveaway site Rafflecopter for a spin since we’ve heard so many great things about it (it’ll hopefully free up some time to spend on house/family stuff while being pretty simple for you guys to use as well). So instead of commenting like usual, just use the widget below to login (using Facebook or your email, which is only used to contact the randomly selected winner – so you won’t get spammed or anything). A couple of clicks later you’ll be entered. Please only use the comment form if you have questions or trouble entering (entries there won’t be counted, sorry!). Oh, and this giveaway is open to the whole wide world!

    I’ll just create an entry question for the sake of it:

    CONTAIN ME!!
    The thing I want to organize the most in my home office are all those darn office supplies! They’re everywhere. It would be nice to buy a few acrylic drawer organizers to wrangle all those things together and then have scrapbook paper underneath for some added prettiness.

      I was just thinking, I love that rafflecopter helps y’all out in terms of time, but reading the bonus questions is one of my favorite parts of the site.

      I’ll bite on the question, I would love to organize all the extra paper/journals we seem to accumulate in my house. It seems like my husband likes to collect journals to capture all of his “important ideas.”

      And I also used the rafflecopter.

I work really hard to keep my digital life as organized as I can and I don’t want to disorganize it just so I have a chance at a giveaway.

    I love when other bloggers use this, cause they usually add a few different entry options, like, “what is your favorite ice cream?” or something weird.

    Regardless, our house needs some SERIOUS ORGANIZING. But I also need a babysitter to arrive as well for our 4 and 2 year olds so they don’t immediately tear it down. :)

      The only thing about that is that then it wouldn’t save us any time like using an automated system like Rafflecopter does (we’d still be manually approving all of those comments, which isn’t a big deal when there are 100-300 like normal posts, but for 5,000-10,000 giveaway comments it was a lot to approve every week). So we thought we’d give this a try and see how it went. Hope that makes sense! We also have YHL forums and Facebook for anyone who’d like to chat – maybe someone can toss up a question of the week on Forums? That would be fun!

      Yeah, but I bet you wouldn’t get the 5,000+ comments even if you included the question as just a discussion topic, because I bet a lot of those folks only commented to get an entry. I mean, you post questions all the time and don’t seem to get THAT many comments!

    • Avatar for YoungHouseLoveYoungHouseLove says

      June 10, 2013 at 10:40 pm

      It’s true! I guess we were just hoping to keep it clean and do entries with Rafflecopter. A few folks have mentioned using our forums for chatting about an extra question there and we think that’s awesome. You’re right that it’s not everyone who wants those questions, so if some folks miss them, those are nice options for them. Maybe next week we can post the bonus question on FB or Forums ourselves and see how it goes :)

    Just a thought, but for all those saying they missed the user comments from the prior giveaways. Perhaps you guys could still pose a question with giveaways but encourage people to start a thread on the forum with the answers?

    That way you don’t have to moderate all the comments but people can still share on the topic :)
