***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!
My glass turtle!
Sara says
FAB ME! I painted my dining room chairs bright blue and upholstered them in a colorful fabric…a little out of my comfort zone, but I love how they turned out!
Sarah says
FAB ME!
Last year I found an old floral armchair in a back alley, it’s so perfectly quirky and the perfect foil to my otherwise black/white/wood color scheme. I love it!
Sarah R. says
Fab me! I have some bright pink lace curtains in my daughter’s room that I just adore. I made them for my first daughter and cannot get rid of them.
Kiki says
FABB ME!!!
I just love the nightstands I painted a mustard color.
Kelsie W says
FAB ME!
I recovered a vintage footstool with crazy, bold coral fabric. It always makes me happy to see it next to my hand me down boring furniture. :)
Emma says
FAB ME!- my strange permanent thing are some photos (4 of them) by the same photographer in old frames I have clustered by the TV- they are all of old/deteriorating things.
My family’s strange temporary thing is instead of an angel/star on top of the Christmas tree we use the head of a large pink panther stuffed animal.
Jillian Rowland says
FAB ME!
I painted a vintage dresser bright yellow (the color of a no. 2 pencil.) We keep our TV and record player on it. It was a labor of love and I get so many compliments on it!
Kristin says
FAB ME! I have an old potting table that I use as my desk; it’s a beautiful blue. I painted my bottom kitchen cabinets the same blue to match.
Meg says
“FAB ME!”

Corey says
Fab Me!
We have a Mile Marker 1 sign from Key West that we got as a wedding present (we were married there in 2011). It’s big, green, and totally awesome :)

FAB ME! I have a collection of pink flamingos scattered throughout the house. You never know where one will turn up.
Whitney says
Fab Me! My husband loves to go shed-hunting (walking around in the woods looking for antlers that deer have shed on the ground) so my house has quite a few deer antlers as a kind of weird decorating scheme…

Tracie says
FAB ME!!!! I love my bright collection of Russian Dolls! Which also include a mini version of me and my husband which we used as our wedding cake toppers!

FAB ME!
I love the art I created for above the couch. It is the song Adam Sandler sings to Drew Barrymore on the plane at the end of The Wedding Singer broken up over 8 frames. :)
Shelley says
FAB ME! The accent color in my bedroom is a bright mustard yellow but somehow it works with the neutral palette of creams and taupes.
gingela5 says
Fab me!
I have these two tiffany blue vases that I keep by the fireplace. I’m working on getting more color in my house!
Kirsten Elise says
FAB ME! I very proudly own and display a very large painted portrait of my 10 lb Chihuahua mix, Bailey above my bed.

FAB ME! I have this flower shaped lamp that I got in college and I just can’t get rid of it! I never use it (it’s out for decoration only), but hopefully someday if I have a baby girl it can go in her room! :)

Brenna says
Fab me! My grandfather saved newspapers from important events in his life, and I framed the front pages of my favorites. I have Nixon’s resignation, Kennedy’s assassination, the moon landing and the end of WWII in the hallway. Always a good conversation piece!

Corrie M says
Fab Me!
We have a two foot tall fake pig that we brought into the garage years ago after he got a little too weathered. He hasn’t been doing much except staring at us, but now our 23 month old says “Hi, Pig.” every single time we get home. It’s too cute so we refuse to move him now!
Whitney says
FAB ME!!! I love a brass owl I got at a thrift store and all of my milk glass randomly placed throughout every room!!
Whitney M says
FAB ME!!! Only one weird, quirky, or colorful item… For my birthday I had a $25 tiny recliner reupholstered in a huge, colorful, bold patterned fabric. It brightens up the corner of my living room and makes me want to sit there!
