***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
You guys hit the 10,000 entry cap to giveaway within 24 hours, so you must love some Fab as much as I do (or perhaps you just like $500). Either way, we’ve crowned a random winner and it is… Whitney (who says “Most of my apartment is muted gray, yellow, and blue, but my kitchen has bright red baking dishes on display.”) Congrats Whitney!
I’m a recent addict to Fab (I own more t-shirts from there than I probably should admit). So imagine my reaction when I got an email from them offering to do a – wait for it – $500 Fab gift card giveaway for you guys. Their site includes items marked down between 10-60% from retail prices across just about every category – home, accessories, art, kitchen, pets, kids, clothing, jewelry, etc. And everything is selected with a discriminating-but-not-too-serious design eye. There’s an emphasis on quirky, weird, and colorful items within their sales… which means there’s a lot of fun to be had while spending the five hundred beans that are up for grabs.
- PRIZE: A $500 gift card toward Fab
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FAB ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …what’s something weird, quirky, or colorful in your home that you love? Is it a bold art print in your entryway? An armchair with a happy pattern in your living room? Or several dozen ceramic animals placed throughout your house… not that we’d know anything about that.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 30th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States, Canada, and much of Europe (click here for a specific list of countries)

FAB ME!
I have a bright yellow print of a poster for a festival that was in the mountains of Germany. I didn’t go to the festival, but I visited the castle (!!!) it was hosted at when I went to visit family one summer. It’s a cheery reminder of that trip and it brightens up the space under the lofted bed in my dorm room.
Kelly says
“FAB ME!”
I have a quirky, colorful painting that has our names and wedding date on it. It was a wedding present from a close friend that always makes me smile.
Kris says
FAB ME!
I have both a framed James Brown poster in my bathroom and a fantastically tacky Wills & Kate wedding souvenir bell.
Carolyn says
FAB ME! I have a corner bookshelf made out of galvanized plumbing pipe painted fire engine red, hung from the wall by floor flanges, that has an Edison bulb that hangs out of one of the top pipes. It makes me happy.
Alison says
Fab me! I love the orange throw pillows on the couch in our basement.
Jenn M says
Fab me!
I have a large white ceramic elephant that used to be my grandma’s. I remember sitting on it and pretending to go on safaris when I was a kid. It might not be colorful, but it’s certainly quirky.

Abby says
Fab Me!
My kitchen is bright green!
Mary-Beth says
Fab me!
I’m in the process of painting an old dresser hot pink for my daughter’s nursery.
Joy says
FAB ME!!
I have a bit of a thing for chickens and my kitchen has quite a few colorful chickens in it.
M.C. says
FAB MOI!!!
What comes to mind, and is fairly quirky for me, are the two dining room chairs of my grandmother’s that I just recovered with a bright gold chevron pattern- the dark wood against the bright gold looks good in my gray dining room!
Thanks for the giveaway.
Brittany T says
FAB ME!
My favorite colorful thing is a little Ohio-shaped print featuring different Ohio cities, including our hometown… we had it personalized with meaningful cities… found on Etsy!
Crystal says
FAB ME! It’d have to be my hipmunk print. He’s a chipmunk with a hat leaning on a PBR. I it on Scoutmob. They’ve got some cool local finds :)
Amy Goerger says
FAB ME! At a yard sale over a year ago, we came across a maroon ceramic tiger with shiny gold stripes. For $2.00 I HAD TO HAVE IT! It definitely looks like Battle Cat in a different outfit. It also most definitely doesn’t really go with anything else in our house yet we keep it on display for our own personal enjoyment ; ).
audra says
FAB ME!
i didn’t want our living room to be formal or off-limits to our kids, so i added brightly colored pillows (fabric by Amy Butler) and sprayed one large frame, a letter B, and the coffee table knobs a deep blue. the rest of the room is very neutral, so these pops of color are fun and not too overdone! (um, i think…:)
Krista says
FAB ME!
My quirkiest is probably the glittery gold deer head in my dining room.
Or my scrabble magnets on a electrical panel door in my entryway. I always find new words that guest manage to sneak in without me seeing (I live in a small town so friends come and go as they please… we don’t knock or see people to the door).
Or my hot pink kitchen cabinets… ahh the joys of being a single homeowning girl!
Haley says
FAB ME! I have loads of eclectic things throughout the house, but the funkiest is probably a big buddha on my dresser.
jessicae says
Fab me! My huge, beautiful painting over the couch done by a good friend for an art class project.
Mary-Yen says
FAB ME!
I took a hollow core door and went crazy with the blues, greens and yellows paints. When dry, I used painter’s tape to tape off a herringbone pattern then painted the exposed areas white. It hangs above the couch and I love the color it brings into the room!
Shannon says
Pretty please FAB ME!!!!!!!! :)
I have lots of fun, bright dishes in my dish cabinet! :) I also like to put fun and colorful books on display!
Crossing my fingers for this one!
Bridget says
FAB ME!
we are renovating everything so the most colorful might be my glass mosaic backsplash, it has charcoal, taupe, gray, marble and light blue…I luv, luv it!
I could really benefit from some fab quirky items :-)
Chelsea F says
FAB ME!
Our whole apartment is littered with paraphernalia from across the globe. One of my favorites is a map of Africa from 1921. It has water stains and its been taped to stay together, but I think it just adds character. That map sits next to a framed giant beetle from Indonesia. Love it!
Meagan says
FAB ME! (please)
I love all the pig references in my home — from the Etsy pig print to the piggy books. Silly inside jokes!
Amie says
FAB ME!! I have these awesome “hear no evil speak no evil see no evil” monkey book ends that I use in my kitchen to hold cooking books that I just love!! Fun find at an estate sale!!! Thanks!!
Liz says
FAB ME!! the quirkiest, weirdest, and most colorful thing in our home (right now…) is on our dining room table. it’s a whole bowlful of bright, shiny, papier mache fruit from my grandmother’s house. don’t know its origin story, but it’s fantastic.
Sarah P. says
FAB ME! We have a leather chair in our living room that makes me feel like I’m in a library. It’s wonderful.
Adrienne says
Fab me! I have brightly painted EAT letters in my kitchen.
Nicole says
Fab me!
My girlfriend knitted me a tree scarf (think: yarn bombing) for my birthday, which was right before we moved into our new home. It’s blue and purple (each of our favorite colors) and cozies up the tree on our patio, big time.
Lindsay says
Fab Me!
My neautral dining room/living room w/ bright white ceramic owls & starfish.
Katya says
Fab me…A bright red painting I did at a party a few years ago
Sarah Christie says
FAB ME!!! The fun part of our house is definitely my youngest sons bedroom as I stick to all whites/creams/greys in the main living areas where he has dark grey walls with many mixed woods but then lots of mustard yellow accents with a woodland theme of owls, bears, bunnies, etc….his room feels like the most magical in the house!
adria says
Fab Me!
Joy George says
FAB ME…I love my boldly yellow (mustard) painted kitchen. It gives a bold statement and adds a lot of color. I love colors in homes. Joy
Stacy M says

SG says
FAB ME! I’m partial the white seal in my daughter’s room that we use to hold her hairbrushes. It originally held flowers celebrating her birth!
Andrea K says
Fab me! I love my blue ceramic elephant. I have to keep it up high so my two year old doesn’t play with what he calls the “statue.”
Anna Thomas says
FAB ME! I love my CB2 chunky orange red poufs. I bought them before they had knock offs at every other store out there and love them still.
Casandra says
FAB ME! I’m in the process of gutting my first home so I don’t have anything in it just yet. But I’m looking for great quirky stuff to fill it with!
Lauren says
Fab me! I have a tree stump table in my living room that my dad and I made together.
Stephanie says
Fab me!
The tree decals on my daughter’s nursery wall. So sweet, except one was “altered” by her to remove a section as high as she can reach. So it is now floating. Like magic! :-)
Jen says
Fab Me! We have a set of longhorn cattle horns in our living room that belonged to my husbands grandfather. I think it’s kind of quirky.
Erin says
FAB ME! A graphic designer friend of mine made me an 8×10 of a gray squirrel silhouette over top of a blue chevron backdrop. I have it proudly framed and hanging in our hallway alongside some other quirky and colorful prints. My my blog is called DIY Squirrel…hence the need for squirrel art in my house :)
Kristin says
Fab Me! I have a bright orange wall with aqua chevron art in my living room – its very fancy!
