***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

FAB ME!!!
My homemade curtains make me smile — they’re a crazy suzani print in aqua, lime green and gray (and lined with white bed sheets). I love them!

I love the gallery wall we arranged for our four year old daughter’s room. It is so playful and colorful!
Lynette says
FAB ME!
I think the most quirky thing I have right now is an old cash register that came out of my grandfather’s business. We have it in our dining room and store our keys in the drawer.
Bethany says
FAB ME!!! Please!
I have a drawing of a monster from my 7th grade French class – with body parts labeled in French – hanging in my living room. I painted the matting in the frame a bright, orangey-red. It’s freaking amazing. :)

Elizabeth says
FAB ME. I have a set of red, wooden egg cups with a holder that has followed me to every home I’ve had in my adult life. I bought the set at a yard sale for next to nothing when I was young and single and decorating very randomly. Now they hang in my kids’ playroom and they play with the egg cups.
Sheryl says
FAB ME!
Britt @ My. Daily. Randomness. says
FAB ME! :)
One really colourful item in my house is a painting I did last year… it sort of abstract and features almost every colour of the rainbow. It hangs in my hallway, just by the entrance to my office – so I get to look at it every morning before going to work. It makes me happy!
Thanks for the change to win such a FAB giveaway! (Pun intended!)
Sarah says
Fab me!
I have a pretty little dry sink that I bought off craigslist & painted in a bunch of different layers to create a really fun piece. It’s mostly green & it hangs out in our living room.

Tamar says
FAB ME! The weirdest/quirkiest thing in our house is a balancing toy, that we received as a wedding present. It’s of a clown and it haunts my nightmares! Naturally, we display it in our guest bedroom, so that visitors can have equally colorful dreams.

Rae says
FAB ME!
I dont know about weird or quirky, but one of my favorite “fun” things in the house is a bright yellow lantern we bought from a WW2 hero, who says it belonged to Hitler. I don’t know or care if it’s true, but I love the color it adds and the memories of the day we found it!
Lindsay says
FAB ME!
My house is in need of some quirk…hopefully the giveaway will help with that :)

FAB ME!
I have a beautiful wooden “spirit house” from Thailand adorning my bookshelf. They’re meant to go outside to protect the home but it’s much too beautiful to be exposed to the elements!

FAB ME!

FAB ME!
And I have a really awesome painting from my dad that hangs in our dining room and gives the room a great punch!

Fab Me!
Does a mounted piranha count as quirky? How about my collection of dinosaurs?
Cassie says
Fab me! I love our retro kitchen floor!
Megan says
FAB ME!
We have a creepy owl made out of birch wood that my mom bought my husband for Christmas the first year we were married. Apparently one day she heard him say he loved owls but she didn’t yet realize what a sarcastic sense of humor he had. It was such an off the wall gift that we display it as our little inside joke.
Audrey says
FAB ME!
right now my favorite thing is my recent desk chair i rescued from the dumpster. nothing wrong with it at all (it reminds me of some breakfast chairs my aunt had in the late 70’s early 80’s), and my daughters LOVE it!!!!
Erica says
FAB ME! I need to get some quirky stuff!
Miranda says
FAB ME!
One of my favorite things is an old-fashioned wire egg basket that I’ve filled with three green artichokes (they look realistic, but they’re fake). It’s quirky and fun, and reminds me of thrifting with my mom when we found it! :)
Maria B says
FAB ME!
In our entryway we have this wood and iron thing that hangs on the wall. The wood is a lovely shade of turquoise and it makes me happy every time I walk into my house.
Angela L says
FAB ME!
My favorite is probably the clay-mation print of Tom Waits I got on Etsy!

FAB ME!
I have 3 gnomes that hang out together on a bookcase. I can’t for the life of me break them up.
Meg F. says
FAB ME!
The most quirky thing we have, is something we discovered in our house when we ventured up into the attic…a pair women’s boots from 1875. Incredibly creepy but incredibly cool at the same time.
Erin says
FAB ME!
I have a sweet whisky bottle that belonged to my grandpa, shaped like Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. Whisky not included! :)
