*** This contest is no longer accepting entries – see who won below! ***
Random.org got his random on and selected our winner as… Tracey @ Tropical Happiness (who just moved into a new house last week so she has lots of shopping to do). Congrats! For everyone else, keep that chin up – you can still enter the Hometalk $500 Lowe’s gift card giveaway through Sunday.
You may already know that Hometalk is a community of home improvement experts (including some familiar HGTV faces) and fellower DIYers sharing home and garden projects, advice, and even contractors. And for this week’s giveaway they’re majorly hooking someone up… to the tune of a $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel!
And as if that weren’t enough, over on their site they’re also giving away another 500 bucks (this time to Lowe’s). So to get in on that little bonus freebie, you can answer their quick poll question (about what outdoor summer project you still need to tackle – btw, our answer is C), sign up for a free account, and then cross your fingers really hard. Of course you can just enter for the Crate & Barrel gift card by commenting over here (or the Lowe’s card over there) so there’s no pressure to do both.

We have a couple of cooler weather projects in the line up. One is to move our bedroom from the coldest room in the house (above the garage) into what is now a guest room. Another is to figure what in the heck is eating big brown swatches into our lawn. Our final cooler weather project is to clean out and organize the garage.
Michelle says
TALK TO ME!
We’ve been waiting since June for our bed frame and headboard to be delivered in September (stop teasing me West Elm!) so once those arrive we can finallllly start moving forward on our bedroom! Can’t wait.

This is our first year together as husband and wife, which means this is our first year to blend our holiday traditions and decorating ideas! I can’t wait to see how our “first’s” turn out!

There are so many projects on my list for summer and fall! But if I have to pick, I will say just finishing our living room – we recently got a new sofa and therefore re-decorated, but I still have a few finishing touches to complete (including PILLOWS!)

stephanie says
TALK TO ME!!
Bath redo is definitely on the list. Our tiles were painted by the previous owners in the 80’s (a lovely teal), and it’s peeling up revealing the original 50’s pink tile. It’s pretty awesome but, I can’t wait to change it up.
