***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)
- 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…

Katie says
FAB ME!
I lived in NYC in grad school and used to always see interesting things left on the curb as people moved in and out of apartments. One day I saw a whole living room set, including a fantastic 60s sofa and chair -long, low lines, sleek wood legs, and shimmering avacodo green upholstery, complete with plastic seat covers protecting it, ala Archie Bunker.
The sofa was more than I could handle, but I managed to lug that chair into my apartment building and up the elevator, and have since moved it to three different apartments in two different states, and now my house! I love it when people think it’s some trendy find from an expensive antique place, and I can tell them I literally saved it from the trash heap.
Sara @ Fit.Fun.Femme says
FAB ME!
Favorite quirky find in our apartment is a mustache printed on a piece of wood that we’ve hung above our kitchen stove. I call it stove stache. :)
Bethany says
FAB ME! I love this huge white ampersand we have hanging in the bathroom. It goes with the typography shower curtain and was used at our wedding.
Kaija Kantola says
Fab me!
Red Marimekko pouf and other Marimekko fabric items. Basically required in a Finnish-American decor!
Teresa says
Fab me! I have a framed photograph of Savion Glover in my living room. Don’t know anyone else who’s rocking a tap dancer in their decor!
Sarah says
FAB ME!! Sitting on my coffee table, I have two vintage, tiny metal toy guns. I’d say they’re pretty quirky!
Kelly says
Fab me — I have a limited edition illustration of Weird Al from the “Eat It” video in my kitchen. It was passed down from my grandmother, obviously.
Lindsey d. says
FAB ME!
It’s more “what’s not weird, quirky, or colorful in my home?”
Let’s see…
— In my kitchen there is the basic bi-fold pantry door I painted bright pink and my collection of vintage cookery.
— The TV room has my bright yellow rocking chair and giant Mississippi River print.
— My living room is the tamest, but has the best story. It holds a big painting of a saxophone I bought from a convicted felon at Louisiana’s Angola Prison.
Kathy Kaefer says
FAB ME!!
My favorite fab item is a Matte Stephens print :)
Jackie A says
FAB ME!
I love that every Christmas my almost-husband goes overboard on his Christmas Village. Next year he’s expanding his DIYness to creating his own scenery and landscapes using acrylic and Styrofoam.
Joules (from Pocketful of Joules) says
FAB ME!
I spray painted two old metal outdoor chairs bright yellow and added pretty patterned cushions to them. They sit on our front porch and make me happy every day when I come home!
Caitlin says
FAB ME!
Erin says
FAB Me! I love that I was able to utilize some of my college furniture through out my house. One of my college dressers received a make over and is now my baby changing table for child #2!
Heather says
Fab me! I have a lime green teapot in our kitchen that I love – it’s so cheerful!
Katie says
FAB ME! I have some quirky (scary?) illustrations from the Alice in Wonderland books framed in my guest bathroom that I adore. I actually used a set of greeting cards to make them, so they were a bargain too!
Ren says
Fab me!
I don’t have anything funky or quirky (do my oddball cats count as decor?) but hope to add a few things if I manage to win the Fab giveaway!
Rachael says
FAB ME!
I recently found a concrete fish that I spray painted pink and hung on my wall. That little fishy makes me smile :)
lindsay says
FAB ME!
My one of a kind oil painting of an alpaca’s face!

Sonya says
FAB ME!
I love my 4 Kelly Green Harp Chairs I spray painted myself!
Karlei says
Fab me! We have this pig piggy bank that my parents brought us back from Mexico. It’s pottery and in sort of subdued reds, blues and browns with some traditional design motifs that you see in a lot of the ceramics from that area. Except the pig has very long eyelashes and a very flamboyant mustache.
Elizabeth says
FAB ME!
Jen says
FAB ME!! I have a Seusical (as in Dr. Seuss)table in my entry, it has the most fabulous curved sides! I just love it!
Linda says
FAB ME! I have some purple resin grapes that my grandmother made many years ago. Love them!

Caitlin says
FAB ME!
I have an abstract painting that was painted and gifted to my husband and I by our hairstylist for our wedding present! It’s unique and special!
Janet says
“FAB ME!”
I have a rearing carved wooden horse with brass armor and glass”jewels” that is four feet tall. I brought it home from my Mexican honeymoon as “extra bagage” in 1969.
Jennifer B. says
FAB ME!
I have a teal ceramic + stained glass vase with a battery operated candle inside. The color makes me happy!
Aimsly says
FAB ME!
In our living room, we have a nice, sculpted white vase that – when we bought it – looked like a white wavy-almost-coral-or-shell-like vase! It looked like something washed up from the sea, and incredibly cute – and on sale!
When we got it home, we realized that the front was actually the bust of a naked woman!
Lizzie says
FAB ME! Honestly, I don’t have enough quirk in my house, but if I won I would buy some, ha.
Mary Margaret says
FAB ME! I love the ioatcon Darth Vader accent pillow I made for my husband, courtesy of Andy Rash’s art.
Amy says
Fab me! We have this awesomely bright and crazy painting of my brother in law right above our fireplace. It is his face, in profile, screaming into a microphone. He is blue and there are a lot of other really bright colors all around him. It was the first real piece of art we ever purchased!
Caitlin says
FAB ME!
We have a funky yellow floral bowl that was from a set of dishes of my grandmother’s. It moves around from table, counter, etc. But always makes me smile.
Nickie says
FAB ME! I have a little wooden pirate ship from the Bahamas where we got married. I just love that little pirate ship, it reminds me of the happiest day ever!
Allison says
FAB ME! I have nothing… that’s why I need to win this!
Cassondra says
Fab me!
I am a little behind on accumulating quirky things for my house…but I can aspire. We have a lot of homemade artwork that we’re getting around to hanging, including some big canvas prints my husband made on the computer and had printed. Also definitely have a picture of myself as a naked child sitting in a toy bin taped to our fridge. My Oma put it in a card one birthday and I felt bad throwing it out so it just got stuck up there.
Karla says
FAB ME!
I love a painting of an ocean sunset my grandpa did–think teal, pinks, lime green and many shades of blue and orange.
Jasmine says
FAB ME!
Giant Danish travel posters we bought on a trip to Copenhagen, proudly displayed in our dining room.
Carissa says
FAB ME!
I have fabulous navy curtains in my living room. Everytime I look at them they make me happy!
Lori says
FAB ME!
Nothing too quirky in my current house, but growing up we had a room dedicated to all things Star Trek – my dad’s favorite show of all time!
Alex says
Fab Me!
My colorful, quirky home item is a GIANT poster split onto 3 canvases of Klimt’s “The Kiss” It was a gift from my boyfriend and it makes me so happy!
Michelle V says

My Thomas Paul Aviary turquoise drapes – make me smile every day!

I have a crazy pattern cushion in my library that my husband hates. I love it!

I have a bunch of colorful, patterned pillows, most made by my friend, and they are a jaunty mishmash on our window seat.
