Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: The Closers

Fab Freebie: The Closers

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

We gave random.org the assignment again of helping us choose our winner and they chose… Sarah (who could think of 10 little projects that have added up that she could use this for). Congrats Sarah!

Since the early days of YHL, we’ve been buddies with the foursome over at One Project Closer. Ethan, Fred, and their wives Jocie and Kim dish up tutorials, tool reviews and decor posts to help us all get (say it with me) one project closer to our dream house. Recently they’ve launched a series of “Pro-Follows” where the boys tag along with professional contractors to document big projects like building a deck (which we may be referencing soon ourselves). But if that makes you break into a sweat, perhaps their new The Better Half section (where the ladies tackle design and craft projects) is more your speed. Whichever suits you, One Project Closer is helping someone get one hundred dollars closer this week with a $100 prize to the home improvement store of your choice. Now that should suit just about everyone, right?

One Project Closer Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $100 to the home improvement store of your choice courtesy of One Project Closer
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “GET ME CLOSER” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what house project do you want to be closer to finishing? Are you ready for that kitchen remodel to end (or to get started)? Do you want to get all of your spring cleaning out of the way? Or are you really just ready to be done decorating your bedroom?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, April 25th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The lower 48 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of One Project Closer.

    GET ME CLOSER to hanging up all of the pictures I’ve made/framed for my son’s nursery — particularly the natural-wood shadowboxes I finally found online and ordered last week! (He turned 1 on June 15, 2010 and I’ve been hanging onto wrapping paper, ribbon and the candle from his cake to make a scrapbox… since he is almost two now, it is time to get on that already!)

    Where do I begin? We need to landscape our front yard (new mailbox, raised beds, plantings), fence in our back yard, put up a mantle (took down the sorry excuse of one that came with the house when we moved in and ran out of money before we could replace it), and… oh yeah, fix the giant, gaping hole our (very high energy) dog put in the living room wall.

    GET ME CLOSER to a move-in ready home- the house is largely gutted. Specifically, we need to get at least the master bedroom up and running so our family of six (!!!) can temporarily crash there until the other bedrooms and living room & bath are functional.
