*** 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.
- PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel courtesy of Hometalk
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TALK TO ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since Hometalk is polling folks about their summer projects, let’s cover your fall & winter plans here. What’s on your to-tackle list later this year?

Michele says
“TALK TO ME!”
I’ve got lots of painting to do in our den. We’ve been here 5 years, but it’s time to get over my intimidation about the vaulted ceilings. Too cheap to hire a pro painter :) I also want to paint our banister and window mullions black, and I need to change out our slipcovers from white to oatmeal for the Fall. Gotta cozy it up a bit, too. I LOVE changing things seasonally.

TALK TO ME!
Oh, to narrow my projects down to one or two :) I actually use your site for motivation sometimes because you guys are great at spreading them out and not trying to get your entire house done in a weekend…this is HARD for me! But one of my projects for the weekend is to complete our living room. We just moved into a new house and I’ve been trying to figure out the perfect floor plan as well as colors, furniture, etc! Exciting and frustrating all at the same time :)

“Talk to Me”! Ahh, where to begin. So many projects I need to finish. I need to finish working on my kitchen so I can paint my cabinets. Dying to take down wallpaper in my side hall, paint walls and beadboard and add a new light in there and figure out a shoe storage situation. Need to finish my bathroom. Let’s just say, the whole house has a big to do list.
