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!

    i’ve got a VERY long list of things that need to be done around the house – most likely would use it towards getting shelves for our shed along with storage bins so i can move some stuff out of the house that has been invading my office!

    Get me closer!! Luckily we just finished our two biggies, the kitchen and bathroom, but we’re looking to move on to the closets now. We only really have 3 closets in the who house so making them as efficient as possible while still looking pretty would be a major step closer to our dream!

    GET ME CLOSER. That’s such a hard question. Right now we are working on painting our living room, but we still have to paint our kitchen cabinets, refinish a tub/shower in the bathroom and figure a way to get our backyard into a more livable spabe.

    I’d love to be finished with our hall bathroom. We removed wall paper, painted, and added new fixtures and decorations. We still need to tile and get a new vanity but we’re waiting to build up the old bank account before we get there.

    Get me closer! There are so many projects to do in this house, most of them huge, so I just want to complete the small-ish task of painting everything. There’s a lot of really gross sponge painting from the former owners here, and I’ve had enough.
