***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…

FAB ME! I have an awesome art piece I ordered from CB2. It is a large piece made from recycled newspapers (sounds weird – but I love it!)
Aimee says

FAB ME!
We have a vintage, bright aquamarine dentist chair in our living room. It’s quite a conversation piece, and surprisingly comfy!

FAB ME!
I love my recovered entryway bench. It belonged to my mother-in-law but the cushion was all torn. I bought a $5 piece of fabric, grabbed my stapler one night after work and voila – a brand new spiffy (if I do say so myself) bench (that no longer looks like my mother in laws bench either).
Amanda M says
FAB ME! My husband and I have fun and funky little eccentric touches in every room. My favorite is our turquoise fish spoon rest…and our big globe…and our lime green birds in our bathroom…
Chelsea says
FAB ME!
My favorite room in our still-very-unfinished apartment is our nursery, which has a big huge wall of pretty aqua chevron fabric wallpaper. It cheers me up just to be in there.
Elizabeth Koon says
I created a colorful photo display on the wall in my living room. I used wooden plaques from the craft store and painted them different colors. Then I used scrapbook glue dots to attach pictures to them. This way I can change the pictures periodically and not ruin the plaque!
Blair says
FAB ME! I found a giant white ceramic horse head (at least 2 ft x 2 ft) at the thrift store that is totally quirky but so awesome!
EFritz says
FAB ME!
I have a scupture/bookend I made out of plaster in college design. I loved it so much I still have it. It looks like white ceramic :)
Lisa says
‘FAB ME” My huge couch which is the colour of a hot-dog :)
Rebecca says
FAB ME! The quirkiest room in our house is our new nursery — lots of teal, hot pink, and kitty cats for our baby girl.
Katie says
FAB ME!
Unfortunately, I do not have anything super crazy in my apartment. I’d love to be able to buy something a bit crazy if I won though!
Anna Sebok says
FAB ME!
I have this multi-color-striped print of Marilyn Monroe it’s her signature print with the fur wrap, printed over top the striped fabric). The fabric is then stretched over wood and was purchased at a street festival here in DC by my best friend, who gave it to my as a birthday present! I love it!
Lauren says
Fab Me!
Unfortunately, my house lacks quirk. My husband likes boring, traditional design. I’ve slipped a ceramic pig on a shelf but that may be it! Well, I do have a raspberry pink powder room that people love to comment on.
Cathy says
FAB ME! My house has red in every room–red is the unifying color. One room may be red and blue, one red and brown, one red and yellow, one red and blue and hunter green. All red towels and sheets in the house = no cross contamination of towel colors. I had a designer suggest the idea to me in my 20s and I love red with anything, so that’s my color!
Chelsea says
FAB ME!!!
I have 3 of my great-grandmother’s paintings hanging in our office..they are colorful scenes from nature and quite quirky :)
Kristine says
FAB ME!
Lisa says
FAB ME!!
Jill Kindorf says
FAB ME!
A picture of my sister and I on my wedding day with her BRIGHT yellow Maid of Honor dress…what makes it even more “fab” is Fabbs is her nickname!
design Thoughts ~Kim says
FAB ME!!!!!! Does a life size wall cling of Buzz light year count? its in my guest room…Liam wanted to help me one day..so I let him..these days are fleeting…who doesnt want a 3 yr olds design advice anyway ;) I actually happen to love it, because he was so excited to put it up!
Anika says
“FAB ME!”
I have a bright blue teapot that makes me happy when I use it every morning. Thank you guys so much for hosting such a fun giveaway!
Rosie says
FAB ME!
Probably the quirkiest thing in my home is also the most endearing. Funny how those go together!
My mum recently made me a large quilt with geometric owls all over it! It hangs in my living room much to the amusement of all my guests who politely ask me if I CHOSE that quilt. I didn’t but it’s BETTER than I could have chosen!
Sherry: I’m also into ceramic owls. They never get old!
Amy says
FAB ME!
My husband and I are such a minimalists so we don’t have anything that we would say is quirky…we’d like to though ;)
Sarah C. says
FAB ME!!! I love our 1955 world map wall art that I picked up at an estate sale for $0.10. Using a canvas, black craft paint and ModgePodge I’ve created a speaking pieces in our “international themed” dining room for under $40.
Miranda says
FAB ME!! My favorite things in my home are either the life-size Poodle statue I’ve had for years (that my husband despises, haha!) or a handpainted canvas of our newest dog, Dexter (yes, he’s named after Dexter Morgan!) done by my best friend.
Rebecca says
FAB ME!
I have a little ceramic heart shaped rattler. It was made by an artisan that wrapped beads of clay with wax paper and built the heart around them. When put in the kiln the wax paper stays long enough that the beads dont stick but eventually melts away to create a rattle. It’s amazing.
Elizabeth Koon says
FAB ME! I created a colorful photo display on the wall in my living room. I used wooden plaques from the craft store and painted them different colors. Then I used scrapbook glue dots to attach pictures to them. This way I can change the pictures periodically and not ruin the plaque!
Lindsay says
FAB ME! I have a quirky lime green hourglass, which is fun.
Cecily B says
FAB ME!!!
Quirkiest item in my house? Some wild new pom pon print fabric faux roman shade in the half bath!
Tempest says
FAB ME! I have a blue and white chevron rug in my living room. It really gives it bit of jazziness to the space :)
Rebeca says
FAB ME!
I love my bright aqua kitchen island :)
Carrie M. says
Fab Me! I love this old wooden desk that I picked up for $20 at Goodwill and refinished in a bright teal for my boys’ reading room!
Callie says
Fab me! I love my vase from Peru which was a wedding gift from a friend!
Minette says
FAB ME! I love my minty turquoise framed letterpress calendar!
Katherine says
Fab me! I’m obsessed with this Ikat painting I purchased from LonadeAnna on Etsy. It’s FABulous! http://www.etsy.com/listing/73406105/ikat-oz-print-a3?ref=usr_faveitems
Carrie says

FAB ME!
Christina @ Homemade Ocean says
FAB ME!!!
That whale shirt is calling my name!
Kara says
FAB ME!
Our mantle features an old pair of snowshoes that my grandfather made. Sentimental and a little quirky!
Erika says
FAB ME! We have color all over the place, from the walls to talavera pottery to mirrors and artwork.
Martha says
FAB ME!
I suppose my current flooring is weird – OSB. We moved into our new house before it was finished, so we have a lot of DIY projects pending. I do have some things in the barn waiting to be made weird, quirky or colorful, such as a 1950s slatted hanging lamp, a desk, and an extremely large pull-down world map from an old schoolhouse. In our last home, our nature collection probably qualified (shedded snake skins, small animal skulls, and hornet’s nest for example).
Tammy says
FAB ME!
I love pictures of Cows. The more, the better.
Amy says
FAB ME!
I recently bought a red lamp…. way out of character for me, but I’m trying to be a little more bold! :)
Gayle says
FAB ME!
I love our turquoise couch!
Sarah says
FAB ME!
Please! I have a fun little collection of family portraits. A watercolor, pointillism, and even one made on (microsoft) paint.
Miranda says
FAB ME!
I an old quirky pair of shutters I painted orange and hung in the dining room. I found them on the the side of the road!
Colleen says
FAB ME!
We have a bright blue church pew that we found next to a dumpster and love.
Kristina says
FAB ME!
Our entire living room is a big ball of color. The walls are a deep blue and the white built-in bookshelves are covered with books, vases, and a fair number of elephants (it’s a family thing).
Andrea says
FAB ME!
My collection of animal mugs, totally creepy and cool!
