***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
I’m gonna bust out some flashback lingo from YHL circa 2008: prepare to swoon. This week’s giveaway is from our lovely sponsor Jessica Rose at Vol. 25, home to some of the most charming art around. I mean, how can you not fall for these robotic lovebirds?
The great thing is that Jessica’s artwork comes in the form of prints, t-shirts, rubber stamps, mouse pads, books and even photoshop overlays (so you can add a little hand-drawn flare to a photo). And since we couldn’t even begin to pick just a few favorite items for the giveaway, Jessica’s hooking up TWO of you with $50 gift cards towards anything in her shop (plus there’s a discount awaiting everyone on Thursday so stay tuned for that). Now you that know what’s up for grabs – how ’bout some more eye candy?
And here are all the contest deets:
- PRIZE: A $50 gift certificate towards anything from Vol. 25’s shops on Etsy or Zazzle.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with either the words “PUMP IT UP” or “TURN IT DOWN” depending on…
- BONUS QUESTION: … whether you love a loud and lively lifestyle or you prefer to keep things quiet and peaceful. Do you feel better surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, or boisterous laughter? Or would you rather find yourself in an intimate conversation, enjoying soothing nature sounds, or quietly reading a book?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 21th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: TWO
- PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world! Woo to the hoo.
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

TURN IT DOWN! I am constantly on the move and have a full schedule of work and graduate school in the city, so I find winding down with quiet time especially important these days.
Julie says
TURN IT DOWN! In a house with two young and LOUD boys I love a nice quiet day with chance to read or have a conversation without interruption!
I love this Etsy store….oooh, I hope I win!
Jen McAdams says
PUMP IT UP!!!
With two young kids…this is a motto to live by :)
Ashley G. says
Turn it down… I love having a quiet home. That’ll change, I’m sure, once we have kids. But I like having a quiet place to think and read and be. It’s nice!
chelseyadele says

Brooke says
“PUMP IT UP!!”
I love it when people are having a great time & laughing & making ‘cheery’ noise (unlike my brothers extra loud metallica style music). Their is something so infectious about laughter. It makes my day, always!
Heidi Fedak says
Turn it down. I enjoy the occasional raucous get-together, but I prefer the solitude of my computer, my screened-in porch and a sunny afternoon. Ahh, pure bliss.
Kirstin says
TURN IT DOWN!! My fiance and I live a pretty hectic life – commuting downtown while living in the ‘burbs. A week ago, we bought a brand-new house that will be built just after our wedding in October. So amid all the celebrating and wedding-planning and house-buying… We have to find the time to chill out together, one of my favourite activities.
Much love to your fab blog from Vancouver, Canada. Can’t wait to love our new house and maybe send in some submissions of our transformation from Construction Beige to Lovely Nest!
Olivia says
“Pump it UP!” is a must in our home full of 5 girls under the age of 9! We are on a constant hum throughout the day but once the little ones close their eyes, it is lovely to “Turn it down” with my husband. ;)
Jessica says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN!
I like a fair shake at both!
annie t says

PUMP IT UP! :) I love things lively, although I can definitely appreciate some tranquility as well.

Turn it Down!
While I love people, I am an introvert at heart. I love cozying up with my husband, my dog, and a good movie (or CSI NY – my new obsession).
Mollie says
TURN IT DOWN! I’m the type of person that throughly enjoys time by myself with a good book (or blog!). PS-I am living in Alaska for a year and recognized so many places from your honeymoon pics!
Linda says
“TURN IT DOWN”
Twins in the house, traffic, crowds, etc make me love my home in the odd moments I’m here alone especially, reading by the fire, snuggling with the spouse. Aaaaaah.
Ashlie says

Turn it down!
Elana says
Turn it down! Though I will admit to sometimes pumping up my music to dance around the house, for the most part I enjoy the quiet peace :)
Kayla says
I’ll refer back to Jessica’s lovely piece with the bicycle. It’s all about balance – sometimes I like to PUMP IT UP and sometimes I need to TURN IT DOWN.
:)
Maya says
PUMP PUMP PUMP IT UP!!!!

Cheryl says
PUMP IT UP and TURN IT DOWN…
I love being surrounded by lots of activity, energizing music, and boisterous laughter – good thing since my 2 year old is not the most quiet. But, I always love a relaxing night in front of a movie with my husband too.
MIchelle krommer says
PUMP IT UP! :) I love things lively, although I do like peace and quiet from time to time
Lindsay Dryver says
Hi Youngsters!
Pump it down!?
I guess what I mean is that I really enjoy having friends and family over making our home just that, a home. Whether that means they just come over and have dinner and watch a movie or play our favorite game of cards.
Thanks guys, oh and the nursery is so warm and inviting. It looks like a good place to start some happy memories. Best of luck to you both in all that you do!

Turn it down!
Had a beautiful baby girl 4 weeks ago and I’ve still got some blank wall space to fill in her nursery. This would be perfect.
Lindsey says
PUMP IT UP!!! I love having people over the house and having a good time!
Laurel says
Pump it up! With two young children, there seems to be no other option for me than to enjoy the crazy, loud, fun life that goes along with them! YHL-ers, you will see for yourselves soon enough!
Joelle says
TURN IT DOWN!
Man, I think this shows that I’m really growing old! A night out on the town is all well and good… but then I have to spend the next month recovering.
Bridget says
Turn it down! My life is nuts, and sometimes all I want is to just…be…still…
Sarah says
Turn it down!
I work at a preschool in the autism room. With 6 autistic kids, and 9 energetic adults in one room for most of my waking moments, I like the rest of my life to be more serene and relaxing.
Thais says
“PUMP IT UP”
I’m Brazilian so I’m loud by birth! haha The more music, dancing, laughter, and people the better.
stylefyles says
TURN IT DOWN!
drinks and dinner at home please.
Renae says
Turn it down!
With the recent purchase of a new home, the sale of our current home (in less than 3 weeks), my husband’s new job and two rambunctious boys (5 and 2), I would prefer to turn it down. I’m loving the “wherever we are together, that is home.” I’m starting to get emotional about leaving the house that has been our home for almost 8 years. Both of my babies came home to this house. But the new house will be our home soon enough and my husband keeps reminding me that home is definitely where we all are together…I might just buy the print even if I don’t win!! :) Thanks guys. and hey, the nursery looks fantastic.
Jessica says
TURN IT DOWN!
I have 2 young girls – and the oldest, a 3 year old, barely stops talking long enough to take a breath. so for now I would say “turn it down” since I could use a little extra quiet time. :) I love these prints and her etsy shop! thanks for sharing.
Jenn says
Turn it down!
I’d rather read a book over anything else!
Suzy says
PUMP IT UP! Though my version of pumping it up may not be others’! I like to keep myself busy, including house projects and cooking/baking… Really I need to have my hands doing something!
Tina says
TURN IT DOWN
Eva Mijes says
TURN IT DOWN!
I couple yrs ago I would have said Pump it Up….but I work now…and I am tired and want to relax…that’s my new motto.
emilia says
With very close friends and family, I definitely LOVE lots of activity. But when I am by myself, or meeting new people, I go for soothing sounds and intimate conversations all the way.
Amanda (modernation) says
TURN IT DOWN. We like to lay low and are major home bodies. The sound of our dog and cat snoring are all the noise we need. Plus maybe a little realty TV from the DVR in the background, too. ;) And I must have that bicycling print!
