Fab Freebie: A Literal Fab Freebie

***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.

    FAB ME!

    We have an enormous canvas color chart in our living room from my brother’s days as an art student, and a growing collection of brass objects (brass peacock bookends, a brass stork, a brass Taj Mahal mail sorter, etc.).

    Fab Meeeeee!
    I love funky pops of color all over our house. The ones with personal meaning are the best: a bright and abstract painting my husband did in our kitchen, pillows my mom helped me sew in the living room, our craigslist headboard that we got in our first apartment together…

    FAB ME! The quirkiest thing in my house is me! :) My house is fairly traditional with a bit of European funk thrown in for good measure and lots of fun. Vibrant pops of color in most rooms. Maybe it’s my son’s aqua and olive bedroom?!?!?!?

    FAB ME! The most colorful thing in our home is the living room…the walls are a bright blue (think Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment redo in the movie) and we love it!

    Fab me! I love our 1960s kinetic ball sculpture. Doesn’t totally “go” with the rest of our decor, but it makes me smile every time I see it!

    FAB ME! We have a lot of totally random things- but one quirky item is a globe on our entryway high table that we got at Goodwill— Russia is still labeled as USSR. Guess we shouldn’t show that one to my niece when we teach her about countries…

    Fab Me!! We have a large print in our front entry way, titled Balloons over Paris and it is a picture of big colorful hot air balloons floating over Paris.

    FAB ME! I have white ceramic cow head hanging in my kitchen. And weird bonus: we hang different hats on him for the holidays. It’s for the kids!

    FAB ME! We just got a fun rug from Urban Outfitters for our dining room and I am loving it. It adds some spunk in a (typically) traditional room!

    FAB ME! I have two tubas – that should count as quirky! We have several paintings of my brother-in-law’s that are both colorful and possibly a little weird… :-) Thanks!

    FAB ME! Pretty, pretty please :)

    I have quite a few colorful things (multiple paintings) and many more quirky ones (a print of Abe Lincoln riding a t-rex, a mounted unicorn head wearing a sparkly top hat). I love fab, I’ve been a fan from almost the beginning :)

    FAB ME!

    I have a tent set up in the dining room that was for an indoor camping date night my husband and I had on Friday night and we can’t bear to take it down, so we’ve been using it all weekend. I think the whole “campsite” is staying up another week. :)

    I have a magnetic hurricane tracker map hanging above my tv. I constantly have to explain it to guests, but I love it!

    I have an old tv lamp. It has a marble base with a brass dog on it staring at a sphere of murano glass (which is where the dim light emits from). It was from my late Great Aunt, she left it to me because I like dogs. It is so unusual and gaudy and I totally love it!

    I have a bright yellow (handme down) couch in our basement den. It doesn’t go with anything, but it is too comfortable to get rid of, I keep thinking I will have it recovered, but the yellow has grown on me.

    “FAB ME!”

    I have a cute (60’s-70’s) melamine nesting snack bowl /storrage set that when stacked together makes a cute chef guy on my kitchen counter. He’s orange with a gold handle, so cheerful and kitchy! Also it’s a bonus that I inherited from my moms kitchen along with her old avocado green hand mixer. I love the memories I have of my childhood when I see them!

    The quirkiest object in my house would have to be this stone owl I brought back from Colombia… It kinda stares at you in a creepy way and at the same time makes you laugh.

    FAB ME!!! (Please!) We have a huge (60″X30″) Warhol-esque painting of a fall tree scene in our living room-it is awesome!

    FAB ME!

    I just sat here looking for weird, quirky things. Does the fact that I have a large number of children books on display count?

    FAB ME!

    We have a collection of Mexican skull items (dia de los muertos) that are quite colorful and quirky. Most of our family members think we are crazy but we love them!

    I also have some fun stuff from fab that I couldn’t live without. I’m addicted too!

    FAB ME! One of my favorite quirky finds is a denture teeth ice mold. I have my share of white ceramic animals (mostly owls), but I think of them as eye candy… my real quirky, off the wall things are kitchen utensils.
