Fab Freebie: Housewears

*** 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.

Lisa Leonard Pic1

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).

Lisa Leonard Pic2

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!

    I use some of my necklaces and a scarf as decoration for my hall way hooks when i don’t have bags hanging on them. Actually i think it looks much better than bags anyway.

    Wear me! I have a blue and cream Breton-stripe cropped tunic that’s made out of a quite coarse, stiff cotton – almost getting into canvas territory. I’ve always wanted to have a couple of pillows in the same fabric to go on our cream couch.

    I have a gorgeous orange shirt. The problem is that I look awful in orange. It just doesn’t go with my skin tone. But sometimes I do wrap the shirt around an old throw pillow and put it on my bed as an accent pillow for my powder blue/chocolate brown master bedroom (to go with the other random orange accents in the room.) I’m constantly on the lookout for a pillow of that particular tomato-ey orange/red but I’ve yet to find one.

    Thanks for the chance to enter!

    “WEAR ME”

    Hey Guys, Greetings from Germany, i looove your blog, and i desperately hope you keep going for a looong time :)

    I usually take whatever i can find for decoration. I hung up some old Jewelry from my Granny with some nails and a frame without glass around it. Keeps people wondering if it is real everytime.I think thats nice and practical, ´cause you find what you need easily…;) i use old t-shirts to sew pillows (for my little sissys room), and my favourite bedcover became actually a custom made cover for an old chair since the pillow has been “eaten” by my washing machine…

    So, all the best to you
    Nina

    I keep one of the shawls that I knit draped over the back of an armchair in our bedroom. It is just too pretty to keep in the closet and it is a nice accent to the chair – like a throw pillow.

    I turned the fabric from my Granddad’s shirt into a pillow cover, and the fabric from a vintage tea towel into part of an Antro-style necklace. So, I guess for me, I see clothes as decor and decor as clothes :-)

    I hang and tie my pashmina’s around the house. This serves mutiple functions for me. Not only do they give a great pop of color (blues, hot pink and dark greens) to the rooms, I also get cold easily so this way I have something to keep me warm close at hand.
