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.

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!

    (there’s no fine print saying we can’t enter to help out our wives, right?)

    Since you mentioned it, she definitely uses her purses as home decor – adorning the chairs, door knobs, coat hooks… I’m thinking about planting flowers in one of them soon, just to see if she notices.

    I just bought a tri-hook rack to match the curtains in my bedroom (perfectly). It displays alllll my scarves so it brings in some great color, and reminds me I do NOT need any more scarves at the same time.

    This isn’t quite something I wear, but I often use bedsheets as tablecloths when I’m having a party. They do double duty in covering cheapy tables and making them look swanky when I add fancy napkins or decorative touches to them, and it prevents me from having to buy oddly shaped tablecloths that I can’t use for anything else.

    I also have a couple of bracelets that I put around my perfume bottles as “decoration.”

    At any given time, there are usually wearables left lying in view around here, thanks to four little kids. Though it’s not intentional “decor,” it might improve my outlook if I started thinking of it that way! Instead of, “Why, oh why, does she drop her coat in the entry every single day after school?” I could say to myself, “Look at how lovely that turquoise looks with the hardwood floor!”

    (I was actually going to purchase the initial charms for my bridesmaids, so this would be a great money-saver for my budget wedding!)

    I’m actually considering using the ivory silk fabric from my wedding dress for my living room curtains after the big day passes. Sentimental value, no?

    Well, I love decorating, but I, myself, am not very fashionable. So, no, nothing in my closet would make the cut to double as home decor. Although, we have used old t-shirts to re-stuff our dog bed.
