Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: The Closers

Fab Freebie: The Closers

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

We gave random.org the assignment again of helping us choose our winner and they chose… Sarah (who could think of 10 little projects that have added up that she could use this for). Congrats Sarah!

Since the early days of YHL, we’ve been buddies with the foursome over at One Project Closer. Ethan, Fred, and their wives Jocie and Kim dish up tutorials, tool reviews and decor posts to help us all get (say it with me) one project closer to our dream house. Recently they’ve launched a series of “Pro-Follows” where the boys tag along with professional contractors to document big projects like building a deck (which we may be referencing soon ourselves). But if that makes you break into a sweat, perhaps their new The Better Half section (where the ladies tackle design and craft projects) is more your speed. Whichever suits you, One Project Closer is helping someone get one hundred dollars closer this week with a $100 prize to the home improvement store of your choice. Now that should suit just about everyone, right?

One Project Closer Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $100 to the home improvement store of your choice courtesy of One Project Closer
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GET ME CLOSER” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what house project do you want to be closer to finishing? Are you ready for that kitchen remodel to end (or to get started)? Do you want to get all of your spring cleaning out of the way? Or are you really just ready to be done decorating your bedroom?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 25th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of One Project Closer.

    GET ME CLOSER!

    I just moved into my new place a few months back and absolutely nothing is finished. The living room is pretty close, but I still have a few projects (hemming curtains, hanging pictures, etc.) that I would love to finish up so that I could at least call one thing “done”.

    Get me closer… I’ve been saving up for some wardrobes for our bedroom (since our 1940s house has itsy, bitsy closets), but with our A/C threatening to quit on us, all my savings have been redesignated. Living in South Louisiana, having a running A/C is non-negotiable.

    Get me closer to a new patio space out back. We have a concrete slab that we want to surround with 3/8″ pea gravel and some bluestone. The biggest stumbling block is time to actually do the project, but the cash would be a help, too!

    We are so ready to have our attic access doors and replacement doors for the upstairs complete. Our house didn’t have ANY attic access before we moved in, and we’ve cut holes now, and are ready to frame out some doorways so we can use the space for storage and access to electrical, etc.

    We need to be WAY closer to doing something with our kitchen. It’s a depressing, decaying mess, and $100 would sure be a great start. Thanks for the opportunity!

    GET ME CLOSER!

    We were just at one of those home improvement stores this weekend looking an new “engineered” hardwood floors for our living/dining area. We are so excited to finally tackle this project and have our currently nasty carpet gone! Say it with me now… DO NOT try to potty train a small puppy during winter with carpet….
