*** This contest is no longer accepting entries – see who won below! ***
Random.org got his random on and selected our winner as… Tracey @ Tropical Happiness (who just moved into a new house last week so she has lots of shopping to do). Congrats! For everyone else, keep that chin up – you can still enter the Hometalk $500 Lowe’s gift card giveaway through Sunday.
You may already know that Hometalk is a community of home improvement experts (including some familiar HGTV faces) and fellower DIYers sharing home and garden projects, advice, and even contractors. And for this week’s giveaway they’re majorly hooking someone up… to the tune of a $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel!
And as if that weren’t enough, over on their site they’re also giving away another 500 bucks (this time to Lowe’s). So to get in on that little bonus freebie, you can answer their quick poll question (about what outdoor summer project you still need to tackle – btw, our answer is C), sign up for a free account, and then cross your fingers really hard. Of course you can just enter for the Crate & Barrel gift card by commenting over here (or the Lowe’s card over there) so there’s no pressure to do both.

I’m in the process of redecorating our 4 bedrooms — three down one to go. I have a huge problems with our the last bedroom — the master. There is a desk, very big, that my darling husband will not part with. So, I have to make it work. I wish you could help me figure out what to do with it.

On the off chance you read 6,000 comments or I actually win, wanted to let you know that I love the blog. All of it. In our home we will be doing a little rearranging of our own little 16 month old’s changing table/dresser. Just how long do we use that before it becomes a dresser and we change diapers on the floor? I certainly don’t know. Mia loves pics and videos of Clara! I love all the inspiration. Keep it up!

Well, since we’ve just done a huge overhaul on the living room (new windows, insulation, walls, ceiling; everything! All by ourselves!) We might tackle the upstairs bathroom next — the challenge is trying to replace all of the fixtures on a dime! It should be tons of fun (not sarcasm!)

We recently moved into a beautiful and mostly already beautifully historic building, but the downstairs bathroom really needs some love. I want to replace the vanity and mirror in there, and at least get some pretty paint on the walls. The current yellow just makes you look sick when you look in the mirror!
