Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: The Closers

| By John Petersik | April 23, 2012 | 3,573 Comments

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! My husband and I have been in our first home for almost 2 years, and it still needs some finishing touches. Maybe some fresh paint, or even some additional art pieces. We are also still working on storage and organization. Oh, I almost forgot. I have been thinking about doing a backsplash in our kitchen. There are all kinds of colorful spots on the walls from using our juicer almost daily. A glass backsplash would be easy to wipe clean I would think! Thanks!

    GET ME CLOSER and help me knock one thing off my growing ‘to do’ list! We’re closing on a house in 3 weeks and we will be: replacing the shutters from dull to fabulous, refinishing a basement that includes a home office for me in part of it, replacing the master bathroom floors, buying more furniture to fill our bigger house than our current…. Baby steps.

    GET ME CLOSER!! to getting an attic :) We have a space but no real attic door or ladder so the gift card would be GREAT for getting that done. I would also love to get on the ball with painting our master & creating a “cottage chic” look to our entire house. If we can’t sell in this market, then we must make it a place we LoVe :)
