***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
And the random winner who’s about to get their read and their DIY on is… Julie Smith (who said we’d see her at her desk in the office day dreaming of going home and painting her half finished bathroom project). Congrats Julie!
That’s the title of Jen Lancaster’s latest bestselling book – and if you enjoy the story of a young couple renovating their first home (ya never know… you just might), this book belongs on your reading list. Jen never fails to crack us up and we were flabbergasted when we she mentioned us last year on her blog. So now that her home improvement-tastic tale is landing in stores as a paperback this week, we thought a giveaway was in order. You’ll get a copy of If You Were Here plus a very special bookmark. Actually it’s a $100 gift card to Home Depot, so I’m sure you can find a better use for it than just keeping your page.
- PRIZE: A copy of “If You Were Here” by Jen Lancaster and a $100 Home Depot gift card
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “IF YOU WERE HERE” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us what we might see if we were with you right now. Perhaps we’d see the latest house project you’re in the midst of? Or the inside of the crowded subway you’re commuting on? Or maybe we’d see what you’re chowing down on over your lunch break at work?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 48 contiguous United States (though we try to snag as many international giveaways as possible)
- 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…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Penguin Books.

If you were here, you would be getting a glimpse into the dark side of my disorganization. Yes, my desk and shared office space (with my husband). It looks like an episode of Hoarders. No, wait, not just Hoarders, but Hoarders “Buried Alive!”

IF YOU WERE HERE…you’d see my shambles of a house! We just bought a new (to us) house and are in the process of getting it ready to move in, so all of our attention as been lavished on the new house. Needless to say, the house we are currently living in is a wreck.

IF YOU WERE HERE
You’d see this totally cave-like office I share with an amazing co-worker. BUT, if you (and I both) were at my home, we’d all see my kitchen in need of a new look. And by new look, I mean taller, more accommodating cabinets, a new island, and the removal of all it’s plaster wall glory – to be replaced with tough concrete board, and a properly framed window opening :-)

You would see my kitchen in a state of disaster. The old 70’s paneling has been ripped off, the harvest gold linoleum is next on the list and the brick backsplash is half primed. We have lot of projects started but none finished!
