*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries.***
Ok, so maybe you didn’t get that bit of bling you wanted for Valentine’s Day earlier this month. Here’s your chance to rectify the situation with some personalized jewelry from Lisa Leonard Designs. She even sells home decor-related pieces like necklaces with a chandelier, paper lanterns, frames and a house key on them. If those aren’t designs after our own home-loving hearts than we don’t know what is.
I’m not so good with the jewelry lingo, but word on the street (or at least from the pregnant lady standing behind me right now) is that Lisa’s hand-cut and hand-hammered sterling silver necklaces, bracelets and earrings are well-worth shouting “oooh, I love that one… and that one… and that one” in your husband’s ear. In fact, Sherry loved the earrings that Lisa sent her way so much that we recently bought a set for my little sister’s birthday. And they barely take them off (so yes, my sister and my wife are often at family events sporting matching earrings).
And if you’re having trouble picking a favorite, perhaps this will make life a bit easier: Lisa Leonard Designs is giving away TWO $100 gift certificates towards anything in her store, so our winners can snag more than one thing if they just can’t decide. Plus if you don’t win, they’re generously dishing out a discount to everyone else, so stay tuned for that along with our winner announcement on Thursday. In the meantime, here’s how to enter:
- PRIZE: A $100 credit towards anything in Lisa Leonard Design’s entire collection
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WEAR ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about something in your closet that doubles (or that you wish could double) as home decor. Do you display your purse collection for all to see? Do you swag a scarf over a hook by the door for some color? Or do you have a favorite dress whose fabric would look awesome as curtains or an accent pillow?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 24th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: All over the globe!
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

WEAR ME
I have a little necklace tree in my bedroom that stands maybe 1.5′ at its peak. I drape all my necklaces on it…everything from vintage pieces from relatives & flea markets to Target to unique pieces made of abalone and butterfly wings.
Emily Shoup says
Wear me!
In the back of my closet is a beatuiful antique dresser. Right now it’s used for PJs and un-exciting stuff like that, but I dream of restoring it to glory….or at least moving it out of the closet and into the guest room. :)
Emily W. says
Wear me!
More due to lack of closet space than anything, my ridiculous number of shoes sit on a bookshelf in my bedroom, tucked next to books, hats and picture frames. A little odd, but it works.
Lauren says
WEAR ME
Well, due to lack of storage space, but half my “closet” is always on display…
kim says
Wear me!
I can’t think of anything in my closet I could or have used as home decor… I have sewn some awesome gift bag out of old tacky shirts, though!
Julieta says
WEAR ME
Scarves! I always leave them on couches or chairs as if I just passed by and unintentionally left them lying there when in reality, they were carefully selected to match the room decor and season of the year!
Chelsie says
WEAR ME!!
What a fabulous giveaway! Thanks, guys (and thanks, Lisa)! I just stumbled across your website and am absolutely LOVING it. Full of such inspiration and fun ideas…and I must say, your backyard wedding was stunning and so personalized. Love the photo-booth. Anyway….
I have a shirt in my closet that is the softest, most worn-in fabric (holes, bleach stains, and all), and I would love to have sheets that comfy on our bed, but then I’d really never want to get up!! :oD
Jan says
Wear Me!
Beautiful peices, love them all!!
Drasylve says
WEAR ME!
I have some 40’s dresses and sweaters with beading that I alternate on hooks in my bedroom.

WEAR ME!
I have a hat display from three generations of my family that I wear sometimes. From my grandmother’s “Scarlett O’hara goes to the picnic at Twin Oaks” hat to my dad’s Pith helmet for when the yard work is like trying to tame a jungle, I can do many chores in style. That they live now on a wall, in a house, in a tiny village in Cornwall, England makes me look a bit more interesting when wearing them out and about.
mollie says
WEAR ME!!
love, love Lisa’s work… would love to win!! The cord pull to a set of blinds in our bedroom fell off, so I used a tear-drop shaped, black onyx pendant and tied it on to the loose strings! Looks fabulous hanging on the window, and works great too!
Jamie says
“WEAR ME” Hmm …I guess I use a scarf from Turkey for a tablecloth on my vanity.
Kathy says
“WEAR ME” I buy colorful scarves from thrift stores and use them around the house. They look great on tables and as art.
Katie says
WEAR ME!!! Does having clothes all over my floor count as decorating? No….I would have to say my scarves which I hang on hooks around my room for a pop of color.
Jenna says
WEAR ME!
I hang my jewelry on a funky tree shaped stand– the pearls, metal, and bright colors add flare to my vintage-themed bedroom.
Lindsay says
WEAR ME!
I have a coat rack by the door where I display my favorite flowery scarf and a couple colorful purses. I dress mostly in neutrals, but my accessories are bright and make cheerful decorations.
Nancy says
Wear Me!!! Wear Me!!! Wear Me!!! Hope 3X a charm. LOVE YOUR BLOG,check it twice a day (just in case something new and exciting new pops up and you the urgent need to post something new)!! Okay, I’ll say it one more time: WEAR ME!
Lily says
WEAR ME!!
I have my handbags hanging on a gorgeous antique hat stand in my bedroom. It displays them beautifully but is also rather handy as I have only a small wardrobe to store an every growing collection, it also makes grabbing or changing a bag quickly a breeze.

Erin says
wear me! I love her jewelry and would adore owning some!
I am a huge fan of buying solid colored pashmina type scarves and I found they do a great job doubling as a table runner- especially for holidays or parties. Christmas- whip a white one along the mantle with my decor- bunch up a pink one down the center of a table of desserts for a baby shower- they are prettier (to me) than a regular flat table runner.
nue says
WEAR ME!
i have traditional hmong embroidered pieces (paj ntaub) my mother, grandmother, great grandmother sewed that we are in the process of putting into shadow boxes for display on walls. worth a google!
Megan says
WEAR ME
I use a scarf my mother in law brought me from Costa Rica as a table runner.
Sarah says
WEAR ME!
I’m really bad at putting the laundry away, so my pile of clean clothes is a permanent art installation in the bedroom. :)
Jennifer says
WEAR ME
I have a horizontal coat rack on the wall in my room (not to hang my coats) but to hang my purses! I have so many purses and I love hanging them on the coat rack for many reasons. First since all my purses are out in the open, i am more likely to use them than if they were stored or boxed up. Second, all the colors and textures add to the decor of the room!
Corinne says
WEAR ME!
My sister and I cut down old jeans and make them into cool shopping bags, sometimes with patchwork material pieces.
Stephanie says
WEAR ME
I removed my mirrored closet doors from the tracks to expose the closet. Then I leaned the doors against another wall and used a solid colored scarf swagged across the top to keep them together. A Mardi Gras mask in the middle creates a cool look.
Charlotte says
WEAR ME
I love to hang all of my scarfs on hooks by my front door. All of them are so colorful and different patterns. I also love to hang all of my favorite long necklaces on hooks above my dresser! In the summer I hang my straw fedora hat by my door. It just begs for me to put it on and go to the pool :)
Rachel says
WEAR ME
hmm…I have a cute, vintage apron that hangs on a hook in our kitchen, it has bright colors in it that brighten my day.
Britney R. says
WEAR ME!
I have some pretty pashminas that often add a dash of color under my various seasonal table displays!
Ashton says
WEAR ME, please!
I am currently sewing some of my husband and my favorite (but too old to wear) t-shirts into a quilt for our guest room.
Heather Gibb says
Wear me!
I have a yellow beaded anthropologie necklace that would be a fun chandelier!
Lea says
WEAR ME!
My jewelry tree on my nightstand would look fabulous with some new additions!

“wear me”
I usually wear dark clothes so I cant think of anything I would use in decorating..
Judy L says
WEAR ME!
Our laundry is usually piled on our couch. Not quite decor, but it gives our office some personality
Emily says
Wear me! Nothing really seems to stand out. We do have our wedding Frisbee as decor, and that could potentially be in a sports closet.
Kelly says
WEAR ME!
I use jewelery as a “passive” decor around the house! And the bags (oh… the bags!)
TraceyB says
Wear me…
At the moment i dont really have a choice…all my wardrobe items are also house decor as i have my bedroom in an open space with my living spaces – yup i am living it up in a shed whilst the loverboy builds our house. let me just say, i am trying to work with it not against it!
belinda says
WEAR ME!
I have quite a few different scarves that I use as table runners.
Laura-belle says
“WEAR ME!”
I just recently found your blog — you guys are awesome! As for the question — I wish! Unfortunately, I am creative in other areas but not yet taking something from my closet to decorate with. I’ll be noodling that one around… we’ll see!
Kellie says
WEAR ME – love these pieces!
i like to hang my fave purses from the closet doorknob like a little piece of freeform art – to see them makes me happy :o)
Ann-Marie (Australia) says
WEAR ME
I love to hang my jewellery (necklaces, earrings, scarves etc) on an antique-ish style bird cage that I have sitting on my dresser. Its quite handy to loop things into the wire, dangly earrings with the hook backs hang easily over the horizontal wire and the other necklaces and bracelets etc I just randomly loop through the wire or over the top of the cage. It looks really decorative but trendy.
Cheers,
Ann-Marie (AUS)
Charlotte says
WEAR ME
My sister and I created our own mannequins during a painfully slow process with plaster strips, paper mache and more paper mache… Now we can discplay unfinished projects as well as clothes we like. And as a bonus when you put something on you don’t know whether you still like it, after having it in your room for ten minutes you know your feelings. I couldn’t bear to look at a few of my old things and was wondering why I wasn’t wearing them…
Madeline says
WEAR ME!
I have a beautiful red leather bag my mum gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It’s a bit impractical to take out and about (strangely small handles!) but it looks great on my bookshelf, storing odd bits of paper from my desk.
Briony says
Wear me
The colours aqua and turquoise are common in my clothes. I would love to have these as accent colours.
Betty in Munich says
Wear Me!
I bought these really pretty Pashima’s on a trip to Thailand and they are draped over the end of my sofa, they look really pretty and are great to put over my shoulders on cold wintery Munich evenings.
AK Andi says
WEAR ME!
I have a tiny dress I once fit into hanging on my wall to remind me to get in shape! It is a vibrant red oriental dress that my husband never saw me in but would like to.
joey says
ooh….the pendant necklace with the word “LOVE” featured in this post screams “WEAR ME” out loud!!! At least to me! :D
I’d definitely get this one if i won!
On home decor, i once used an indonesian printed batik SARUNG as table cloth at the very last minute during my 2year old’s birthday party coz we just could not find the table cloth i bought a few mths earlier! :O Good thing it matches the theme around home…..hehe…
Erika says
WEAR ME
I have these gorgeous scarves–one is from France–that I would love in pillow or throw form but could never do anything to chop them up!
Cindy says
WEAR ME!
I love Lisa’s stuff and would love to win this!!
In my closet right now, I have a little white (faux) fur capelet that tied with a big ribbon… do you remember those a few years back. I bought it for a big event and then never wore it…. and to this day, never have.
You got me thinking though, I could turn it into a little pillow for the sofa, or it could even casually drape over the arm of a chair?
Kathy says
WEAR ME!
I like to display my dangly earrings in a framed earring holder that I made; it hangs on the wall like a picture.
I also have a pretty shawl that I would never actually wear around, but it looks nice draped over my office chair.
