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.

    Landscaping! Putting in a backyard from scratch…literally a dirt yard and that’s it. Just finished digging trenches for a sprinkler system and about to move on to laying down some sod.

    GET ME CLOSER!!!

    We did a kitchen/downstairs bathroom remodel in late 2010/early 2011. It included building a new walk-in pantry between the two. The kitchen, bathroom and pantry look fantastic! However, all the surrounding areas – where walls where built or half-knocked-down, and some wallpaper torn off, and some not, and paint stopping in the middle of wall – well, those look like crap! We also put down new floor in a family room and they’re still missing transition pieces and quarter-round (in our defense, though, we only just completed that project a little over a week ago). So, I don’t need one more project, I need to do the finishing details on all the OTHER projects!

    Get me closer to finish my son’s bedroom. I want to build a headboard with built in light,and also want to paint his room and put new carpet. My list is endless as it’s been not even a year since we owned our first home! We are still waiting on to finish master bed, my son’s bedroom and the guest room (In short all bedrooms). But we want to decorate our son’s bedroom first,so that he can have his own oasis!

    “GET ME CLOSER”

    I want to be closer to being able to afford a bathroom remodel. If it wasn’t our only bathroom we might tackle it as a DIY, but knowing it would take us months means that we need to just be able to pay someone who knows what they’re doing.

    I am ready to begin a kitchen remodel! (or refacing basically). My husband has been gathering all the *expensive* tools he needs and we have the cherry wood from a family farm, so he’s going to start building new kitchen cabinet faces. Then we can move on to new appliances and a new countertop. I’m ready to get started!
