*** 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.
- PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel courtesy of Hometalk
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TALK TO ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since Hometalk is polling folks about their summer projects, let’s cover your fall & winter plans here. What’s on your to-tackle list later this year?

We always have major projects going on…the skylight needs to be finished off (sheet rock and painting), we bought a wood burning stove a few years ago that needs to be installed and an unfinished part of our basement that needs some attention…oh, and a mini bathroom remodel.

I am hoping to find a nice old desk to refinish to replace our plastic-y veneered college desk. I also want to find a chair to reupholster to go with said desk. Now…the thing in my list I’d REALLY like to accomplish is buying our first house…however the hubby doesn’t think it is time yet. :(
I actually have quite the to-do list going on my newbie blog.

We are also knee deep in house projects to get ready for our little one due in November. We just finished a closet but have to finish up our bedroom, put in a linen closet in the bathroom, stain lots of wood and seal and finish our crawlspace. This winter/fall will continue with house projects or saving for the materials we’ll need for the big deck building next summer. (Also, i have been using some of your tips for decorating our nursery like you did with Clara and thank you for always having tutorial’s on how you did them!!!)
