***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
We gave random.org the assignment again of helping us choose our winner and they chose… Sarah (who could think of 10 little projects that have added up that she could use this for). Congrats Sarah!
Since the early days of YHL, we’ve been buddies with the foursome over at One Project Closer. Ethan, Fred, and their wives Jocie and Kim dish up tutorials, tool reviews and decor posts to help us all get (say it with me) one project closer to our dream house. Recently they’ve launched a series of “Pro-Follows” where the boys tag along with professional contractors to document big projects like building a deck (which we may be referencing soon ourselves). But if that makes you break into a sweat, perhaps their new The Better Half section (where the ladies tackle design and craft projects) is more your speed. Whichever suits you, One Project Closer is helping someone get one hundred dollars closer this week with a $100 prize to the home improvement store of your choice. Now that should suit just about everyone, right?
- PRIZE: $100 to the home improvement store of your choice courtesy of One Project Closer

- BONUS QUESTION: … what house project do you want to be closer to finishing? Are you ready for that kitchen remodel to end (or to get started)? Do you want to get all of your spring cleaning out of the way? Or are you really just ready to be done decorating your bedroom?

GET ME CLOSER – please!!! I’m so ready to have our house finished – we still have to finish painting, add shoemolding throughout, finish the tile in the entry way & hall bath. we won’t even get started on my master bathroom, office or dining room. sigh – a home isn’t finished over night – it’s an ever evolving space (i need to remember!).
Lauren says
GET ME CLOSER!
I bought a fixer-upper end of February, and though many things have already been done (new roof, new laminate flooring, new paint), I am realizing I am TOTALLY unprepared for a Georgia summer. I need ceiling fans (and possibly a new HVAC system)!
Rita says
GET ME CLOSER!!!

GET ME CLOSER! I would love to change up the paint colors in a couple rooms and my husband would love to make the garage look more finished! oh and a new service door to our garage would be nice too- it’s seen better days!
Fran says
GET ME CLOSER….to putting things up on our walls and decorating our house! We’ve lived here almost 3 years and still haven’t put up any pictures, photos, artwork, anything! (We do have a 4 year old and 11 month old that keep us very busy!). We also want to build a brick patio off our deck and renovate our kitchen.
Beverly says
GET ME CLOSER. I would finish a few things in our baby room and start on some small furniture and landscaping projects I have in mind. :0D
Stephanie N says
“GET ME CLOSER”
I am switching out three rooms with one another so each functions much better with their new use. I never realized what a headache it can be!!!
Jenny says
GET ME CLOSER to prepping our entire house! We bought a house and just began work last weekend. We are moving in this weekend. We are having a baby in two weeks. AHHHHHH! We ripped out carpet, tore off baseboards, ripped up bathroom, took cabinets off in the kitchen, and are planning on painting, putting new baseboards in, and finishing the cabinets before move in day. YIKES!
Wendy says
GET ME CLOSER! Backyard landscaping!
Alia says
Get me closer to finishing our basement! We have new walls up, but we need to sand and stain the stairs, put in molding, prime, and paint everything. All except the wall materials are also recycled and upcycled materials so we are excited to be repurposing original parts of our home as well as supporting local not for profits like Construction Junction and Habitat.
jen says
get me closer….to unpacking our boxes!! ahh
TK says
Get me closer! to finishing my kitchen sink!
Shannon says
GET ME CLOSER
I would love to start on our bathroom. I hate the flooring and tile.
Kris says
GET ME CLOSER to finishing up the yard. Last year we built an addition on our house which completely destroyed our landscaping. Getting everything back to normal has been a huge task to tackle ourselves. We finally laid down sod a week ago, what a day that was! Now we just need to finish a few borders around the house and that will be it.
Kara says
Get Me Closer, I would love to finish our home office. The desk letfover from college isn’t cutting it anymore.

GET ME CLOSER… to landscaping my yard! Need to oust the weeds and dying things, and get some more pretty going on out there — should’ve gotten one of those consultations with the landscaper you folks used when it was up for sale.
Kristin says
Get me closer…to refinishing my master bedroom dresser. It is primed and ready to go but unfortunately, it has stayed that way for months! Thanks for the giveaway!
Nina says
GET ME CLOSER to building a deck and patio in our backyard! The pros want waay to much $$ for the project, so it’s going to have to be a DIY job to stay in our budget. (Which I thought was quite a substantial budget!) :(
Lauren says
GET ME CLOSER to finishing our kitchen backsplash! we tore the old stuff off when we moved in last October and it’s just been sitting that way since.
Katie Nelson says
GET ME CLOSER to getting toys organized! or updating our kitchen that is from 1950. or planting something green on our concrete-heavy patio. or buying my hubby something cool for Father’s day….
Alicia C. says
GET ME CLOSER to having at least one room in our house exactly the way I want it!
courtney says
Seeing as we moved in in January there are several of these. The next one on my list is painging over the HORRIBLE mustard yellow color they painted our office. I seriously do not understand this color choice as it matches NOTHING in the house (plus they had red curtains up in the adjacent room that it is open to so you got a ketchup and mustard vibe). We just need to decide on a color. Then there is the entire bathroom overhaul I want but that won’t be too soon.
Mary Allison Welden says
GET ME CLOSER…to finish my master bedroom.

Get me closer…
to finishing my family room. We just moved in, so I really could pick any number of projects, but we want to build a big entertainment center/shelving unit on the enormous wall of our living area.
Threadbndr says
GET ME CLOSER!
To a finished bathroom, please. I need to finish the wall panels and the flooring.
I have to take out the toilet to do either and unhooking the most vital piece of plumbing in the house terrifies me.
Wendy says
GET ME CLOSER! I could list a million things on the foreclosed home we just bought…but I’m going to stick with creating a “mudroom” area in our kitchen.
Colleen M says
GET ME CLOSER, or started for that matter. We bought out house a few years ago, and there is still a long list of to do’s, but most of all, we definitely need to start on the exterior. We to do everything from painting the house to landscaping.
erica says
GET ME CLOSER – we just bought a new house and are ready to start (and finish) all those projects that moving means – first up, painting
Meg says
GET ME CLOSER to finishing pretty much all of it. We moved into our house 4 years ago and have done everything ourselves from the dry wall in. I’m talking flooring, baseboards, painting, trim, etc. I’d love some downtime without feeling like I should be doing something on the house.
Christina says
Get me closer! …to making my apartment a home! :)
Jenna Nicholson says
Get me closer to finishing my bathroom makeover…or the laundry room….or the bedroom…or craft room…. We bought our first home last July, so we’ve got a project going on in each room. :)
Heather says
Get Me Closer!! To finishing our yard. I am pretty sure the previous owner never trimmed a single bush in the 10 years he lived here, it is like taming a jungle out there.
Gwen says
GET ME CLOSER
…to ripping out the gross 26-year-old carpets in our new 87-year-old house and instead refinishing/enameling the original hardwood floors!

GET ME CLOSER! Get me closer to FINALLY making the backyard a place you actually want to be! I’m dying to rip out the old, dead, horrendous shrubs and replace them with new, blue hydrangea, plant a great shade tree, and lay down some edging to clean things up back there!
Anna says
GET ME CLOSER… to installing new flooring. The white carpet is not a good choice for someone as clumsy as me!
Jess says
