*** 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? Maybe updating your fireplace just in time for cooler weather? Or redoing your bedroom for those cold winter nights? Or are you just itching to decorate for Halloween and Christmas already?

I have long list of projects! Our whole place is in need of TLC, starting with the entryway :-)
Holly says
TALK TO ME! My hope is to finish (ahm..ahm.. start..) the front room. We just moved in our first house in May and are used to living in an apartment so don’t quite have the furniture to fill up the space. Also rugs for the entry way before it gets cold and snowy.

TALK TO ME!
I have so many plans and most involve trim work, I plan on doing wainscoting/board and batten throughout my hallways and living/dining room. I also plan on putting up shelves and sprucing up our laundry room as well as working on a craft space for me in our upstairs loft. Redoing our office and making a few furniture pieces throughout our house as well. Now just waiting for my big kids to go back to school and then I will tackle these projects!

For winter we need to better insulate the house and pick up a few more garlands for Christmas decorating. And of course more shelving for baby stuff. First baby Christmas!

TALK TO ME!
After the foundation gets fixed (big summer project going on now), I’ll move on to easier things like painting. That’s a good activity for cooler fall/winter days.

We rent and can’t do much by way of renovations, but I’m hoping to get some new things to hang on our walls, which right now are way too bare for me!
Karen says
TALK TO ME!
We’ve got big plans to replace our existing deck and build a lower level patio in time for our son’s first birthday in March. It’s much too hot for this to be a summer project and we’re itching for the cooler weather so it will get underway!
Megan H says
TALK TO ME!!
Projects : Spruce up our front porch, clean out garagae, repaint furniture, and start painting/decorating our master bedroom! Oh! And design pillows and drapes for our den :)
Elyse says
TALK TO ME! Our project list is never-ending. Currently we need to finish up the door-replacement project we started in May (laundry room still doesn’t shut!), and I’m in the middle of adding “texture” to my family room. A board-and-batton laundry room project is slowly forming in my head, as is a new foyer decor mini-project (for which the C&B gift card would come in handy!!). And that’s just the tip of the ‘berg!

Talk to me!
