Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: The Closers

| By John Petersik | April 23, 2012 | 3,573 Comments

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.

    We really need to finish off the nursery. Well, the nursery phase 1, that is. Oh, and also the stairs we started a year and almost a half ago. And a whole bunch of other stuff we started and sit about 95% done.

    I need to repaint and rescreen my back porch. The previous owners had large dogs that they kept back there, so the porch is “screened” with chicken wire. -_- Not so helpful against mosquitoes.

    GET ME CLOSER to a life without landlord white! Most of our apartment is still the clean canvas we moved in with, but we have big fun plans for paint jobs in the living room, kitchen and bathroom. However, as a recent college grad I have an extremely limited budget and so getting things done longer than I like.

    GET ME CLOSER to remodeling my kitchen. I’m new to the DIY world. A friend showed me something on your blog and I must say, I’m OBSESSED now. Over spring break I tackled a major face lift on our house, a bedroom and a couple of other projects inspired by your blog. My next project is the kitchen. You’ve motivated me to repaint our current cabinets and even build a small extension bar and knock out a wall to open up the kitchen to our living room. I would never have thought of doing this stuff if it weren’t for your blog. SO regardless of whether or not I win the freebie….THANK YOU for the motivation/inspiration :)

    GET ME CLOSER to a working laundry room! We’ve been living in our house without laundry for a year and a half! Luckily, we’ve spent the last few months really pushing on the laundry room area, so it really is just around the corner from being a reality. My husband finished spackling the drywall yesterday, so we can paint this week, put in our new cork flooring on the appliance platform, (stain and) install baseboards and then we can put in our appliances! Here’s to no more laundromats!
