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! We are moving in 2 months and having a baby 2 weeks later. We don’t even know yet what house we’ll be living in, but I am positive it will need some work to get it where we need it!

    Get me closer–to finishing my kitchen floor! I’m crossing my fingers and going for the brown paper bag treatment, at least until I can afford to pull it all up and re-do. Who knows, maybe I’ll like it so much I’ll keep it this way!

    Get me closer!!!

    I’m thisclose to having a new kitchen sink installed. Unfortunately it ended up being a much bigger project than anticipated and will require ripping up and replacing some countertop. Unfortunately that means right now my kitchen is in shambles and I’m washing dishes in the bathroom. Can’t wait for it to be done…

    Get me closer!!! Our Bay window in the kitchen is falling out and pulling the house down with it. It is how we could afford the house in the first place, but this reno project is a HUGE step closer to our dream house! Gorgeous new wall size bay over looking my gardens with bench for our kitchen table and STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY! Could a girl ask for anything more?
