*** 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 really need to fix up our master closet. We still have the original bar and shelf ( yes, that is singular ) that was put in the home in 1968. It is about to give way any moment now! Yikes!
Heidi W. says
TALK TO ME!! My hubby and I are in desperate need to update our gutters before the rainy season. So that’s on the top of our to-do, along with a nice couch (preferably NOT chewed up by our sweet doggies). :)
Jenn M says
Talk to me!
Our new house is fireplace-less, so I’d love to find a fireplace and mantel to install in the living room to keep us warm on those long winter nights. We also have a few bathroom projects that need to be tackled.

I just moved into a new apartment with 2 other girls and we want to start taking a polaroid of everyone who comes to the new place and find a cute way to display them! We think it’ll be fun…hope we don’t annoy our guests by asking them to pose!
Rebecca K. says

Tejal says
Talk to me! I want to paint the hallway walls once the weather cools down a bit
Erica says
TALK TO ME!!!!!! We just moved into an apartment after being homeowners for 8 years. A move across country is the reason why. So I don’t have to fix anything up in our actual living space, but I do want to find a new to me dining room table that is bigger than our current one and refinish it in a fun color. That is my fall/winter plan.

In the last month, my husband and I have gotten married AND purchased a house- a fixer. So our list of “to-dos” is miles long! Being recent college grads we have NO furniture! So our first task is to buy/build some storage so we can actually unpack our boexs…then theres painting, new flooring, sheetrocking, LOTS of DIY-ing, installing molding (yeah there isn’t any..lol), tearing out the forest of weeds growing in the front and back yard, ect….

Since we have just been in our first home for 2.5 months and we have our main floor half-bath under renovation already, our goal is to get the bathroom done so we can get the toilet, vanity, and the rest out of the garage, so that we can park IN our 2-car garage during our Western New York winter! (It was one of the must-haves on my house-hunting list!)
Brooke says
