***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
You guys hit the 10,000 entry cap to giveaway within 24 hours, so you must love some Fab as much as I do (or perhaps you just like $500). Either way, we’ve crowned a random winner and it is… Whitney (who says “Most of my apartment is muted gray, yellow, and blue, but my kitchen has bright red baking dishes on display.”) Congrats Whitney!
I’m a recent addict to Fab (I own more t-shirts from there than I probably should admit). So imagine my reaction when I got an email from them offering to do a – wait for it – $500 Fab gift card giveaway for you guys. Their site includes items marked down between 10-60% from retail prices across just about every category – home, accessories, art, kitchen, pets, kids, clothing, jewelry, etc. And everything is selected with a discriminating-but-not-too-serious design eye. There’s an emphasis on quirky, weird, and colorful items within their sales… which means there’s a lot of fun to be had while spending the five hundred beans that are up for grabs.
- PRIZE: A $500 gift card toward Fab
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FAB ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …what’s something weird, quirky, or colorful in your home that you love? Is it a bold art print in your entryway? An armchair with a happy pattern in your living room? Or several dozen ceramic animals placed throughout your house… not that we’d know anything about that.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, January 30th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not legally able to vend things beyond specific areas (more on that here). This giveaway is open to the United States, Canada, and much of Europe (click here for a specific list of countries)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Fab.

FAB ME!!!
I have very modern taste. During the fall my husband limbed up an oak tree in our yard and cut the large branches for firewood. He happened to set one huge piece of wood against the fireplace and we like the look so much transposed against our modern living room that we’ve kept it! It never fails to put a smile on my face.
Brittany D says
FAB ME! I have a fabulous collection of old Blenko glass vases on my buffet in the dining room. The pieces are all different sizes and scales, funky shapes and very colorful.
Karen says
FAB ME!
Oh how I love Fab.com! I’ve definitely got some quirkety quirks in my decor taste. Mostly in unique art and antiques. And I may or may not have gone a little too far with my love of the color red!
Joscelynne says
FAB ME!
We have an obsession with brightly colored Monaco Grand Prix posters. We have 5 of them, framed and hanging in every room of our house. It’s what ties the whole thing together.
elizabeth says
FAB ME! Love my green owl cookie jar!
Lindsay says
FAB ME!!! A 10 pound wooden pig named Henrietta has lived with me for the past five years – she just makes me happy!
Leslie says
FAB ME! I have a large decorative plate that my brother painted in a ceramics class when he was young. It has a big bright red parrot on it & I love it. My husband hated it for years but now he likes it (or he’s used to it now anyway). My brother won an award for it at a craft show so he did a good job.
sarabean says
FAB ME! A went through a phase where I was addicted to blue pottery. I’m out of it now, but there is still blue pottery all around my house. My utensil crock, my desk set, etc.
Melissa says
FAB ME!
Elizabeth says
FAB ME!
A framed poster of different culinary tools! Most of our other artwork is cityscapes but my partner is a chef and he loves explaining some of the more obscure tools when we have people over, it’s definitely a conversation starter.
Calista says
FAB ME!
The strangest thing in our house, I suppose (besides a million dog beds for 3 dogs…) is a large, prominently featured picture of Marilyn Monroe lifting weights on a weight bench. I love it!
Alexandra says
FAB ME!!!
hello from Romania guys :). i ve been reading/watching/drooling over you blog for the past year now. i just love it. among other things we have this colorful, and i do mean full cat that i painted myself using an old wooden cat. so thats it…i just looked and they do ship to Romania. fingers crossed.
PS: i so wanted the book but it does not really make sense to me paying 15 $ for the book and 30$ in shipping fees. so, in the near future maybe you ll consider an e version of the book. for the same price even. at least i save on postage :)
Hannah says
FAB ME!!! I have a frame wall over my sofa that is dedicated entirely to prints featuring dogs. One day, my mom noted that all of the dogs were facing to the left except one! go figure.
Mudra says
FAB ME!
Though I don’t have much of it, I love me some 60’s kitsch.
Becky says
FAB ME!
I have an orange and beige patterned chair in my living room that is probably the boldest thing I’ve ever purchased and I LOVE it!!
Rebecca says
FAB ME!
My husband and I used leftover house paint (some just inherited when we bought our house) and canvas to create our own colourful and definitely quirky art!
Jaclyn says
FAB ME! Nothing yet.. $500 might fix that!
Debi Garcia says
FAB ME!
We have a mole light as part of our living room decor.
Lorien says
Fab me! Please!
One of my favourite things I have is my cat pillow — a brightly coloured image of a cat done in crewel work, on a large cushion. It’s very whimsical and really pops on our grey couch :)
HT says
FAB ME!
I don’t think we have anything quirky in our house…
Carolyn says
FAB ME!
My kids sleep in a green room with orange birds painted on the wall by their grandma. Love it!
Sydney says
FAB ME!
Giraffes. No, not just any damn giraffe. They have to be pretty stylized. I prefer 50’s and 60’s porcelain, but my two prize possessions are 1) an Abraham Palatnik acrylic giraffe and 2) a 14″ giraffe toy I bough from Etsy and repainted white with bronze legs.
Sarah Mc says
FAB ME!
We have several pieces of Jenny Lou Sherburne’s pottery–quirky and beautiful.
Catherine says
FAB ME!
We have a five foot tall print of a Matisse stained glass collage hanging in our kitchen – it’s bright, gorgeous, and really lightens up the space.
Dana Z. says
FAB ME! We have a chair with a bold leaf pattern that I love!
Ana says
FAB ME!
I have bright yellow couch pillows! And I recently added the pastel rainbow pillow from Ikea, which I love.
Cori says
FAB ME!
I think my favorite quirky object would be my ceramic pineapple, which I originally bought as a subtle nod to one of my favorite shows, Psych.
Holly c says
FAB ME!
I have a super mario brothers wall decal in our dining room. We have an open floor plan so you can see it from just about anywhere downstairs…Its pretty great and pretty odd for many adults I suppose!

Liz B says
FAB ME!
Two sculptures made out of reclaimed machine parts – one of Darth Vadar and one of R2D2 – that we picked up in Venice Beach a few years ago. We love it when guests “discover” them mixed in with the rest of our decor!
Claudie says
Fab Me!
One quirky thing I have is a painting by my mother. It’s very bright so it tends to stand out a little bit in the room it’s in (the guest room, which is more neutral), but I love it.
Brit says
FAB ME! My whole house is quirky, but so am I, so it’s a good fit ;) I have a lot of artwork on the walls, one of my favorite pieces is a clock in the shape of a penguin. His body is made from a small metal loaf pan, his head is an Altoids tin, wings are shoe horns, and sundry kitchen odds and ends make up his cute little details.
Jen Ulen says
FAB ME!
I have a purple couch in my living room, his name is Pursey! He brings out the best most relaxing character in everyone he meets.

caitlin says
fab me! i am obsessed with my two bright teal chairs in my living room — so bright and cheery!
Melissa says
FAB ME!!
I have two quirky things I love – some candle holders from Target’s Holiday line that are supposed to be pine cones, but kind of look like something from under the ocean to me…and a fledgling collection of little happy, chubby Buddahs. My fiance doesn’t love the Buddahs, but I do so much. Their little happy faces make me smile every time!
Cayce says
FAB ME!
My hubs and I just finished the first round of renovations before our son was born, so basic finishing is done but haven’t personalized or decorated much at all. I would LOVE to have a chance to raid fab.com for some awesome home things!
Drew Moser says
“FAB ME!” Burnt orange couch. Bright. Cheery. Colorful.
ali thompson says
FAB ME!
i inherited this awesome dining room table and through a lovely remodeling event, i broke it..eek! BUT i did turn it into a headboard for our bed. quirky and fun. i’m sure my great grammy is rolling in her grave…
Andrea J says
FAB ME! I have a super-awesome bright green desk that I love. It makes me smile every time I look at it. :)
NancyY says
FAB ME! I found a teal velvet-like office executive chair at a thrift store for $5 that cracks me up every time I use it to pay bills, mostly because the store had 19 others just like it! Who furnishes a whole meeting table with teal chairs?
kara @ launching our life together says
FAB ME!
I have an elephant base lamp. When I was in college, we had a team meeting at one of the team members’ apartment. As we were all leaving, on the way out the door, I turned my head and saw this lamp in the corner of the room. And I said OMG! I LOVE THAT LAMP! And the guy was like oh it’s my roommate’s sister’s lamp. It’s been here forever. And I was all like, well if you want to sell it, let me know. And he said $10 and you can take it home!
IWannaBeKate says
FAB ME!! My boyfriend photographs abandoned movie theaters, so we’ve been given a lot of cool old theater artifacts from the people who are restoring the theaters, including this big old “Admissions” sign over our front door which I LOVE!!
Adee says
Fab Me! I have an old rocking chair that my husband recently upholstered in a crazy dwell studio pattern that I love.
