People sometimes question the purpose of Twitter, but when it helps us find great giveaways it certainly earns another point in our book. So imagine our delight when Fresh Leaf Designs tweeted us about giving away their signature Cushion Corset pillows to one of our lucky readers.
Okay, so it was actually a mix of delight and confusion. After all, what’s a cushion corset anyway? It’s actually a very smart and stylish solution to dressing up a plain ol’ pillow. Just like the name indicates, the corset (i.e. a band of bold fabric) wraps around the pillow and ties in the back creating a punchy accent pillow that, if your mood changes, can easily be “re-dressed” in another corset for a completely new look. Easy, right?
And as you can see from these pictures, Fresh Leaf Designs also sells complimentary throw pillows in coordinating fabrics to help bring even more color to your couch, chair or bed.
So if you wanna snag a set of Fresh Leaf’s great designs, just comment on this post with the words “IT’S A CINCH” by Wednesday, April 29th at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, tell us your easiest trick for dressing up your house in a flash (ex: fresh flowers? a quick window cleaning? a bowl of fruit on the table? simply making the bed?).
One winner will be randomly selected to receive their choice of the two pillow sets shown in this post. This giveaway’s open to all of our international readers as well as everyone in the good ol’ US of A. Please limit one entry per e-mail address. Good luck…

Whoops forgot my fix for dressing up my house in a flash – it would be mostly dusting and Vacuuming. It’s so quick and easy and always make a HUGE difference.
Lisa says
It’s a cinch!
I like to dress my house up with lighted candles. When you see a candle flicker — it makes all the other stuff (pile of laundry, dust bunnies, dishes in the sink) dissappear!
Katie says
IT’S A CINCH!! My quit way to make the house presentable – toss the baby’s toys into the wicker chest that serves as our coffee table. Not having those jarringly-colored toys sitting out in the open definitely changes the vibe of the space!
dana says
IT’S A CINCH!
Jen says

I vacuum and put on a fresh table cloth. With 5 little kids running around, the floor and the table are the messiest places in the house and it always looks better after a quick clean-up.
Lisa says

We fluff the pillows on the couches. :)

IT’S A CINCH!
To clean up my dusty old row house in a jiffy, I run my Dirt Devil Curve, light a candle and snip some holly from the backyard tree and drop it in a vase.
Denise says

Picking up extraneous papers that collect on the counter even though we have a place to put them.
Nina says
IT’S A CINCH!
The quickest way I spruce up our place is with fresh flowers, opening the windows to let the sunshine in, and lighting some scented candles. It’s instantly fresher!

IT’S A CINCH!
cleaning our wood kitchen counters and hardwood floors really make our place shine!

We tidy up and put out fresh flowers!

It’s a cinch! I’m a fresh flowers kind of girl. But I buy the cheap mixed bunch at the grocery store and split them all around the house.

Just lighting candles, vacuuming, spraying couch pillows with febreeze, and giving the ole pooch a spritz of her Pretty Paws seems to do wonders!
Melissa says
it’s a cinch!
I like to cut leaves or flowers from the front garden.
Alisa says
It’s a cinch! I like to make sure the dishes are out of the sink and the bed is made. If these two things are done, I feel like my house has some semblance of order.

I swiffer :)
Lindsay says
It’s a Cinch!!!
Can you say room spray?! We have two, indoor/outdoor dogs! Room spray is a dream! Freshens everything up quicker than even candles.
Kelly V. says
It’s a cinch! What a fantastic idea.
I love opening up the blinds and adding fresh flowers throughout the house

IT’S A CINCH! To snazzy up the homestead, I shove all the toys into a closet somewhere, light a few candles and serve plenty of libations!
Kari says
It’s a cinch!!!
Rachel says
It’s a cinch!
We open our window coverings to let natural light in, buy fresh flowers, make the beds, and light a few tea lights.
Allison says
It’s a cinch! I think the best way to spruce up anything is simply picking up. If I find out that someone is coming over in 10 minutes, just by de-cluttering the counters, tables, etc, my place looks 100x better. And, people always say “Wow, your place is so clean!” Too bad they don’t know I only picked up for 10 min ;)
Amanda says
It’s a cinch!
For a quick freshen up around here I am a big fan of cleaning the flat surfaces…so, wipe down counters, sweep floor, clear toys off couch…Done! Preferably use a yummy smelling cleaner so the counters look good and the house smells nice all in one step!
tom says
“It’s a Cinch!”
Best way is to deep clean the whole house! It’s amazing how “new” a house looks after it’s had a good scrub down.
Sarah says
It’s a cinch!!
If people are coming over, I try to bake something (or light a cookie-smelling candle) so it smells good in the house!
Erica says
It’s a cinch! I love sprucing things up with some fresh flowers!

Jules says
It’s a cinch!
My version of a quick spruce up is dusting the front room! Of course there is also nothing like a newly vacuumed floor. If I am really lucky, I can get in a clean window or two or three!!
Beth says
It’s a cinch!
Fresh flowers in the hanging wall vases by our front door. :)
Jenn Powell says
IT’S A CINCH!
For our house, I wipe down the window sills, wash the windows and wipe down the baseboards. May seem like something really small but it always makes the house seem brighter and cleaner to me!
Lindsi says
It’s a cinch! I spruce up our place with dried flowers in the window sills!

It’s a cinch! When I want to freshen things up I vacuum, open the blinds to let the sun in, and add a few fresh flowers to bud vases – spring must be on my mind!
