***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?
- 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?

GET ME CLOSER to carpet replacement!
Kristina says
GET ME CLOSER!
Oh my gosh, what I would give to have my backyard landscaping magically redone. We had a lot of damage from a bad windstorm that hit our area in December (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/12/high-winds-la-pasadena-epicenter.html), so our former backyard oasis now looks like a backyard mess.
Jamie says
GET ME CLOSER: We are STILL trying to finish our basement remodel. Going from 100% unfinished to 100% liveable is tough…especially with two kiddos, two dogs and a cat…oh yeah, and a husband. Dare I say we could see the end of the project near June 1? Fingers crossed! :)
Erika says
GET ME CLOSER!!

Nadine says
GET ME CLOSER! Where do I start…so many projects. Probably nursery for baby #2 coming sometime…next year (hopefully). Or the bathroom…or the kitchen…or the…
tiffany says
GET ME CLOSER!
… to repainting our ginormous living, dining, entryway and art room. The walls are 100-year old cypress paneling and they’ve been painted in the past… but the WAY past. They’re in desperate need of a facelift but oh-my-word and I not looking forward to all of those edges!
Christina says
Get Me Closer! My husband and I are turning our rarely- used screened in porch into a first floor laundry room but we are waiting until we can pay for it in full…debt-free is the only way to do it, as we learned from you guys! :) $100 would definitely help!
Skeeter says
GET ME CLOSER! Oh, to pick just one project… so hard. But $100 could def buy a new cieling fan for the living room, which would be awesome as it’s heatin’ up!

GET ME CLOSER! so ready to paint my bathroom and kitchen…and finally refinish my old desk!

Marriah says
Get me Closer! I’m working on painting and redecorating our living room/kitchen/breakfast area, which are all open to each other. I have some great ideas, but have to take it slow! (don’t we all at some point) due to convincing the hubby of my ideas (which he always likes when they’re completed!) and finding the time to work on projects.
Jennifer says
GET ME CLOSER! My husband and I just bought a brand new townhome. Presently, it looks like a tornado ripped through, leaving pillows, picture frames, clothes and the like in its wake. We’re excited to put everything in its place, but even more excited to get our master bedroom furniture (mattress and all) delivered within the next 3-4 weeks. As of late, we’ve been throwing our 8 couch cushions on the floor and camping out on them every night. Get me closer to that finished master bedroom!
Katy says
GET ME CLOSER to finishing my master bedroom. I want to tackle an upholstered headboard and refinish the furniture I just picked up off of Craigslist.
Whitney says
GET ME CLOSER!…to having our backyard finished!
Emily says
GET ME CLOSER!
My bathroom was re tiled right before I closed on my condo. So it’s all new and shiny. But I HATE it. I just haven’t been able to justify spending the money on re tiling it in something more to my taste. This could be just the thing to get me started!
Erika says
Please get me closer to repainting my bathroom and kitchen! The people who reno’ed my house before we moved in thought flat paint would do okay on the walls…not so much. :(
Katherine says
GET ME CLOSER!
This is embarrassing, but I just want to finish sanding and painting the stairwell opening, which currently has big ugly spots of unfinished wood peeking through the white.
Trina says
Get me closer! I’m ready to take on painting in our new house!
