Fab Freebie: Everything But The Kitchen Sink

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

In trying to title this week’s giveaway from an online shop with over 2 million products covering every category from tools and lighting to sporting equipment and furniture, this is the best I could do. Then I realized that they did in fact sell kitchen sinks. Oh well, that’s what I get for trying to sum up ATG Stores in just a few words.

ATG Stores

The shops above are just a sampling of the over 400 online stores that ATG operates (here’s the perk: they sell items below retail and ship most of ’em for free). And one of you is going to score $150 towards ANYTHING from the ATG catalog of items. You’ll probably need to set aside a couple of hours to make it even halfway through all that they offer, but to give you an idea, Sherry and I compiled a quick mood board of items that you could snag (or mostly snag) with the $150 prize.

ATG Mood Board

  1. The Mary Kate & Ashley Lamp ($127) is something we’ve been digging for a while.
  2. If you’re in a building mood, grab a tool like a heavy duty circular saw ($150).
  3. Brighten up your wall with this punchy Metro Circus Circus print ($86) which comes in a variety of colors.
  4. Dress up your porch with an industrial looking galvanized tin planter box ($48).
  5. Bring some West Elm-esque style to the foot of your bed with this sleek slated bench ($140).
  6. You know we love a sculptural round mirror like this bronze version ($169).
  7. Give your kitchen a mini-facelift with new pulls or knobs, like these modern ones (from $11).
  8. Clean up outside with a WORX Grass Trimmer & Edger ($81) like we did after ATG Stores sent us one to take for a spin (worked great!).
  9. Chill out on a plush floor pillow (from $127) which comes in a bunch of fabric options.
  10. Or add some charm to your floor with this Momeni Whimsy Area Rug (from $129).

Now that you have an idea of what ATG has to offer – let’s look at how you can enter to win the benjamin and a half credit:

  • PRIZE: $150 towards anything found on ATG Stores
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SINK ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … be honest, what does your kitchen sink look like right now? Is it full of dishes waiting to be done? Does it happen to be empty and spotless? Or does it show signs of clean-up from a recent DIY project like ours?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 4th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States and Canada
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from ATG Stores.

    SINK ME!!!

    Our sink is currently holding 1 empty glass. Glasses tend to stack up around the house and at the end of the day they end up in the sink, where they sit until I start dinner tomorrow night and they finally get cleaned. Can’t wait to finally get a dishwasher again sometime soon!!

    When I left home this morning, the sink was nice and empty, just the way I like it. Of course by the time I get home on Thursday night I suspect it will be overflowing…

    My husband is a little obsessive-compulsive so if I happen to have left a dish in the sink tonight, I know it will be placed in the dishwasher before he goes to bed.

    Right now, my sink has a vase (just cleaned) and a container I had water in that I had used for sanding. If you had asked me a few hours earlier, it would have been a rinsed paint tray, roller and brush.

    In my sink you’ll find

    Our sink is filled with soapy water. In that water soaks two dinner plates, a small Perrier bottle and one of my husband’s cycling plates. Normally it would be clean and empty at this point in the night, but we are glued to Shark Week tonight.

    Sink me, baby! So funny that you ask what my kitchen sink looks like at the moment . . . It is actually on the deck outside, where it has been for 2 weeks, while we are getting new floors. There is a little bit of water and leaves in it. Yuck. Maybe I need a new one. We are recovering from a storm that was a month and half ago. A great excuse for a farm sink that I have been dreaming of. Too bad that is not in the proposed budget.

    No dishes ( a rare sight) and mostly clean…with a lovely drain tube from my broken dishwasher taking up one of the bowls. Hence the “mostly clean”. Super.

    Our kitchen sink has a dish scrubber lying in one half, and the other half has a drying rack with a few clean dishes on it.

    I’m hoping to be luckier than the 2700 other commenters here. Then I could think about going for a lamp or many pillows. :)
