***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This week’s giveaway comes from a site that so chock full o’ good stuff that it was a challenge to hone in on the perfect freebie items for this week. We’re talking about Artful Home, a virtual window into over a thousand artists’ studios that gives you access to 12,000+ original art pieces – from wall art and sculpture to furniture and accessories. It’s kinda like Etsy, but contributing artists are all professionals who are selected by a panel of art adjudicators.
So we sifted through the site and fell in love with several pillows and, since we couldn’t settle on just one, we’re letting this week’s lucky winner choose from the four pillows shown below: the nature-inspired linen pillows by Mariah Wren or the graphic, eye-chart pillow by Heather Lins. I know, tough decision, eh?
- PRIZE: Your choice of one of the four pillows shown above (valued at $90 – $95).
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the phrase “I HEART ART” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite piece of art currently in your home, whether it’s a piece of fine art made by a professional or fun art made by a preschooler.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSED: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One and only one this week.
- ELIGIBILITY: The prize ships to anywhere in the US and Canada.
- THE USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

I create my own scenic oil paintings and wildlife sketches. I have a love-hate relationship with them, it’s odd.
Cheers! Thanks again for the opportunity to win!

I have to say that my favorite piece of art in my home isn’t in my home just yet but is a work in progress. My best friend and man of honor (yes, thats right…my MAN of honr) at my wedding is a ridiculously talented artist. He is going to take one of my fav wedding pics of our venue (Mint Museum of Craft & Design in Charlote, NC) and turn it into a huge painting for our living room. This way everyday I get to come home to a lovely little reminder of our wedding day and the best friend a girl could have.

My favorite piece of art has to be the framed wedding photo we have with our guests’ signatures on the matting. I know so many people have this now, but I love a constant reminder of our friends and family being a part of our day – and our lives! (Guess it’s not technically art, but oh well!)

My favorite piece of art in my home is actually a picture from the hubby and I’s engagement shoot. I made an 11×17 print of it – but it’s NOT the typical engagement pic. It’s basically the two of us walking toward a GIANT tree in Ann Arbor MI (where we both went to college). We look so tiny in the presence of this huge tree – you can barely tell it is even us. And that’s what I like about it. We know it is us, but everybody else thinks it’s a great photo of a huge old tree.
Stacy says
I HEART ART! Especially the photos of my semester in London….art by me ;)
Brooke says
I Heart Art !!
My favorite peice of art is a sculpture my brother made. It’s a sphere made of black wire (lots of it)and I display it in the living room. Something to remind me of him now that we live so far apart.
Tamara says

I HEART <3 ART!!! My favorite piece of art in my home is a chalk drawing my seven year old made for me. It is a very colorful up close flower she made at art class while learning about Georgia O'Keefe. I loved hearing her say "O'Keefe" with her two front teeth missing. LOL
Kara says
I HEART ART… and my favorite art is also our only art, from my friend and talented artist Carolyn Joe, but that doesn’t diminish its beauty.
katie says
i heart art! mine is a pastel that i saw as a guest in someone’s home when i was living in central asia. i commented on how much i loved it, and she plucked it off her wall, took it out of the frame, rolled it up, and wouldn’t let me leave without it. True hospitality.

My favorite piece is a wooden sign for a hotel that I stayed at in Thailand. It’s a little bit cracked, so I found it as they were setting it out to throw away. I love it–it’s hanging over my bed.

My favorite piece of art is an 8ft painting that we bought at an auction about 5 years ago. It’s a landscape of a scene in Iowa, my home state, so it keeps me close!
Brooke says
I HEART ART…including my grandparents’ wedding photo that was hand painted after processing by my great-grandfather.
Travis says
I HEART ART
Easy question…by far my favorite piece of art was created for my 1st child by my wife and I. But all the other people that we knew would assist us in raising our child had a “hand” in this piece of art.
We obtained a piece of large canvas and prepared it like a painter would prepare it for an oil painting. Then we had our friends and family dip their hands in paint and press them on the canvas. We shipped the canvas around the states for all the grandparents and relatives to place their mark. It was so much fun! The final piece was protected and padding was placed on the bottom and used as a rug her room. We really loved the personality and symbology of it.
