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 haven’t even started on our total bathroom renovation and I’m already ready for it to be finished. Mainly, I just want to be able to soak in the tub…We’ve been working with only a shower for 3.5 years now. A long soak is wayy overdue :)

    GET ME CLOSER! I think it’d be impossible to pick just one project to finish up. I’m one of those works-on-twenty-projects at a time and as much as projects can drag on, I really love the process! :) Oh wait, I just thought of one – I wish the new storm door sitting in our garage would install itself on the front door.

We are still in the brainstorming phase, which involves deciding on a fully open deck or including a screened-in area…those FL mosquitos sure know how to ruin a perfectly good outdoor evening! Either way, it is our next big project and I am so excited to get started.

    GET ME CLOSER, pretty please!
    We moved into our house almost 3 years ago, and we have put off decorating our own bedroom, in favor of the ‘community’ areas, like the living room, dining room, and kitchen. It’s funny how fast you THINK you will get things done when you move into your first house. Then reality sets in!

    My very tiny laundry room needs a makeover. Soon my very sweet husband will be moving the water heater and water softener out. Can’t wait to begin painting and getting the room organized. I want to be able to open the door and say
    “What an adorable room!”
