*** This contest is no longer accepting entries – see who won below! ***
Random.org got his random on and selected our winner as… Tracey @ Tropical Happiness (who just moved into a new house last week so she has lots of shopping to do). Congrats! For everyone else, keep that chin up – you can still enter the Hometalk $500 Lowe’s gift card giveaway through Sunday.
You may already know that Hometalk is a community of home improvement experts (including some familiar HGTV faces) and fellower DIYers sharing home and garden projects, advice, and even contractors. And for this week’s giveaway they’re majorly hooking someone up… to the tune of a $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel!
And as if that weren’t enough, over on their site they’re also giving away another 500 bucks (this time to Lowe’s). So to get in on that little bonus freebie, you can answer their quick poll question (about what outdoor summer project you still need to tackle – btw, our answer is C), sign up for a free account, and then cross your fingers really hard. Of course you can just enter for the Crate & Barrel gift card by commenting over here (or the Lowe’s card over there) so there’s no pressure to do both.

We just moved into a new home almost 4 months ago and now that cooler weather is on the horizon, I hope to focus on the indoor side of things. Our beautiful yard has kept us so busy that we haven’t had much time to focus on the interior. I can’t wait to start painting and making it feel cozy and like home!

My fall project is to sand and paint my fireplace surround, before fire and cocoa season begins. It’s this not-really-my-taste-thank-you! salmon pink, and i’d like to make it a nice crisp white to blend in with the surrounding trim. i wasn’t sure it could be done, but after your fireplace re-do, i’m more confident that mine can be saved!
Kate says
TALK TO ME!! We are having our first child this fall, so I am not sure how many projects I would like to tackle, but I have plenty to cover before the little boy comes, including hanging blinds, cleaning and spray painting patio furniture, steam cleaning carpets, painting back of built-ins, curtains in dining room……the list goes on.

Actually, I am trying to learn to keep my mouth shut instead of bringing up multiple projects at once. The hubby doesn’t quite understand my need to change something that’s not broken (think boob lights!) and I tend to think out loud about things I’d like to change.

TALK TO ME!
We are moving into our first home in mid-september, so our projects will consist mostly of unpacking, organizing, and making it homey! We will need patio furniture for sure and hope to make that one of our first purchases so that we can enjoy the deck before the weather gets too cold!
