*** 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.

Brynne says
TALK TO ME!
My bedroom is a disaster, mostly because I live in a tiny apartment and it is the place clutter goes to die so that I can have people over in the other “clean” room. My goal is to make it a tidy, peaceful place… just working up the courage/energy to really tackle it.
Amanda says
Talk to me!!
We’re in the middle of a kitchen update at the moment, but then we’re tackling the basement bathroom (it’s scary ugly right now)… and then we’re going to rest (maybe). :0)

To clean out the guest bedroom and turn it into an office!
