*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***
Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.
I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).
And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:
- PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

I used the scarf idea! I had blue sharp looking scarf that hands from a shelf in my entry way. Sometimes our yellow lab Max has a sniff at it.
I also used old necklaces to wrap around candles to add a little texture to them!

WEAR ME!!
Oooohhhhhh!!! Pretty! That first picture… “Sparkle”… I NEED that one!
As for decor-wear… I covered the seat pad of an antique chair I found in the attic of a rental in an old pashmina I didn’t use anymore. It was the perfect color!

Carly says
WEAR ME!
I have all of my necklaces displayed in my bedroom. They hang on an assortment of mis-matched hooks that I have collected. It’s a pretty inspiration when I am trying to decide what to wear!
Lauren says
WEAR ME!
What a great idea to hang a scarf on the back of the door for some color…
Denise Stark says
WEAR ME
I have used a beautiful vintage floral skirt fabric to cover a lampshade! Looks beautiful with the light on or off.
Jamie S says
Wear Me. I have a ruffled pillow that I made from a cotton tshirt, but that’s about it for the home accessories/clothing crossover.
Deanna says
wear me…
im not that creative however, i have a few scarves that could be used as table runners.
jessica says
wear me!
my home style is very much like my wardrobe, vastly black and white with random brights mixed in… so i think/hope that much of my clothing could be translated to decor… and i completely agree with your suggestion of purses on display as decor, lined up on a shelf ready for battle.
Lisa says
“Wear Me”
Krista says
Wear me!!!
I have a great collection of colorful coats that I hang in a line in our entryway….it’s looks like a beautiful rainbow!

Christy says

I use pretty hatboxes in my closet to store cards from special occasions, trinkets, and artwork that my 3 year old and 1 year old create.
wishful nals says

wear me!
Jeni says
WEAR ME!
I have a white 2 shelf, 6′ long bookcase in my bedroom. On top I have some black framed drawings, a couple of books, and other favorite items. The bottom shelf proudly displays my 2 favorite pairs of black heels. It started as a necessary storage solution, but now it is purely a design thing. Love those shoes!!
Emily says
WEAR ME!
I do actually have my purses “on display” hanging over the back of a closet door in the office and my scarf collection is draped over the doorknob of the office.
I also leave my awesomely colored rainboots out most of the time – I think they add nicely to the decor!
Gail says
Wear Me.
My clothes hang in color order and I pretty much have at least one thing in most of the colors of the rainbow. More green than anything though.
Kim Smith says
Wear Me!
I have a Marilyn Monroe night gown (new with the tags still attached) that has black & white photos of her all over it. I’m keeping as a collectors item…hadn’t thought of framing it, maybe I should. :)
Carrie says
Wear Me! I use the pashima that I bought for my bridesmaid as a swag over my mirror to color up my otherwise plain walk in closet! Evrytime I love at it- I am reminded of my wedding! =)
Jane says
WEAR ME!! Sometimes I want to leave my wedding earrings out on display! They are so sparkly and so lovely. They make the perfect conversation piece. And quite frankly I just love looking at them. Of course they are beautiful in all their amethyst/pave diamond glory but they also remind me of the most special day of my life.
Holly Marie Gibbs says
WEAR ME!
I have a great collection of necklaces — lots of chains and colors and fabrics and flowers — that I have hung above my dresser at varying heights. They add a funky focal point to my room and help me decide which one to wear!
Jill says

Jane Little says
WEAR ME!
Let’s see, I have a vintage Valentines scarf that I place over a pillow. It’s an exact fit and thanks to static it looks like that’s how the pillow was made. Very cute. I also use a pair of ice skates to decorate for Christmas/winter- those come out of the closet.
Susan says
Wear me!
I LOVE her mad skills! Lisa Leonard is amazing!
I always consider clothing when thinking of recovering furniture. I just recovered the seat of a chair with an old sweater for my girls room. It had an amazing print and it looks fabulous! You would never know!
Marcie says
WEAR ME! I have a linen skirt with a beautiful tropical print of greens and teals. Totally doesn’t fit me anymore but I’m planning on making it into a pillow for my sunroom. I also like to use scarves as decor. Sometimes I’ll wrap one around a pillow or use one as a table cover.
Lissa says
“WEAR ME”
I definitely use my scarves, purses and hats to add color to my living room old-school coat rack. I love changing the items to match the season.
Grace says
WEAR ME!
The only thing that belongs in a closet but is used as decor at our house, is my daughter’s baby dresses. My daughter is now 17 so this is a fun way to display the baby dresses from long ago. We change the display periodically. You can see my post about it here: /http://gracie-senseandsimplicity.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-little-girl-is-all-grown-up.html
Barb says
Wear Me, please!
My wearable/home decor item fits right in with the jewelery theme! It is actually on a wall quite near my closet, so I hope that this isn’t “cheating”.
I hung a great, black-framed, round mirror (a steal at $19.99 from Home Goods!) over a 4 drawer Ikea Hopen chest of drawers to create a very affordable “dresser” that fits my small bedroom nicely. But, there was still something missing. And, the variety of necklaces that I had dangling from the doornknob of my bedroom door was driving me a bit bonkers every time I moved the door. Anthropologie to the rescue! They have a great 8.25″ key-shaped hook rack. I was able to find three of them in black at the store (their website has them only in silver and brass right now) and hung them on each side of the mirror. Then, I arranged my necklaces on the hooks. It is both artful and organized! I can see all of my necklaces when I am getting ready. And, because this is such a pretty solution, I always return them to their hooks when I am done wearing them! Defintely wearable decor!
I’ve been lurking about your blog for a while now and this is my first comment here (sorry this is sooooo long… I do know that the winner won’t be determined by the word count!) Love your style and energy and know that ya’ll will be great parents!
Warmest Regards!

I have my earring displayed in an old wooden frame in my bathroom. I stapled some burlap to the back of the frame and my earrings are looped through the burlap.
Ute says
“Wear me!”
I put a small bulletin board on the inside of the closet door. I hang necklaces from it. Not only does it keep them from getting tangled it reminds me to wear some of the ones that I sometimes “forget” about. It also makes me smile since I see treasured items every day.
Jamie says
WEAR ME!!!
I wish I had something to double as home decor…maybe I should dig through my costume jewelry!
Haley says
Wear me!
Kate says
WEAR ME!
I made a lace scarf. It is so beautiful I’m going to make matching cushion covers so I can drool over the lace all day long!
Anne says
Wear Me…the only thing that doubles for me is my Pittsburgh Steelers jersey which I use as the jumping off point for all of our football party decorations.
OMG-YHL says
WEAR ME!
I used cheap fake white pearl necklaces to drape across shelves in my bathroom as a Valentine’s Day decoration– I liked them so much, it’s still up there!
Michelle says
WEAR ME!
I’m lucky enough to have a walk-in closet with high shelves that display all of my purses and the multitude of bags I received as bridesmaid gifts. I also have built in shoe racks so all of my shoes are on display, including “wedding shoes” in every color to match all of the bridesmaid dresses!
kelly ann says
WEAR ME!!!!!
i hang my scarves and japanese robe on the outside of my closet!!!!
Becky says
Wear me! The closest I have come is hanging my jewelry on pegs on the wall in my bathroom. I’m not sure most would consider it art…but if I win one of these pieces I could consider my jewelry to be art then!
