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….painting the kitchen! I peeled the fruity wallpaper, (that covered EVERY square inch of unprimed drywall), in the kitchen off last July. Although I have narrowed down the wall color choices, the walls are still naked and in need of repair before I can even start to paint.

    GET ME CLOSER … to enclosing our screened in porch! We would love to have floor to ceiling windows, french doors to the backyard and flow-y white sheers. Our house is lovely, but really tiny. This room would be a great play room for our little boy. :)

    GET ME CLOSER! We moved in December and are expecting baby #2 in June, so I’d really like to just get the two girls’ rooms done and squared away before the new one arrives! I’d love to makeover our toddler’s closet the way you did Clara’s! I think $100 would fit nicely into that little project, don’t you?

    GET ME CLOSER! We just installed a new front door this weekend and now the foyer area needs some work. We’ve decided our new best investment would be a table saw to help with all the other things we want/need to do around the house but we want to start there, new tile, new trim, all the wonderful details.

    GET ME CLOSER! I’ve been in this apartment for a month now and I’m going insane with these barren walls in my bedroom, and this lack of real organization in my bathroom. So one of those is next on my list.
    Although, I’d love to be able to set up a new desk, too. Moving only creates a whole new slew of problems! EEK!

    Get me closer… to having a finished floor on the main level. Asbestos linoleum gone, carpet out, parquet floor out, crappy particle board underlayment gone, and new plywood subflooring in place (thanks to my dad!). Up next… a real finished floor – unless I decide to take the wall out first. Either way, $100 would be a great contribution to the finish me fund!

    GET ME CLOSER…to taking down this horrible painted-over wall paper in the living room, re-painting, and then building some built-ins for around the fireplace. That way we can mount the TV over the fireplace, hide the components in the built-ins, and free up some space by getting rid of our entertainment console.
