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 feeling like our basement is a fun place to hang out instead of a place to avoid! Our basement has been the forgotten space since we moved in. I’d love to get some paint on the walls and replace the icky linolium in the bathroom!

    GET ME CLOSER!! We are on the last leg of adding beadboard to all the ceilings of our 1942 farm house as well as knocking down a main wall and completely gutting the upstairs bath and a staircase. Our house has been torn apart for over 7 weeks now and it’s time to be finished!

    GET ME CLOSER to refinishing my kitchen cabinets! They are horrible since the previous tenants decided to leave them an ugly half-primer color! (in other words, they primed them half way leaving the color of dirty brown peaking through all the brush marks! *GASP*) Not sure if they used just flat white paint or an actual primer and diluted it, either way, it just makes the whole kitchen look ugly and worn down.

    get me closer….to finishing my bedroom! we’ve been in our apartment for 9 months and NOTHING is done. Most importantly need curtinas that block out the morning light (I don’t need the sun waking me–I have a 15 month old and that what she’s for) and a lamp! I hate the overhead light and as it’s a rental, I can’t take away, only add to.

    I would love to be closer to finishing the bathroom… but the time & money for a much bigger project than we anticipated just aren’t there right now. And since we’re trying to get out of debt, putting it on a credit card and paying someone just doesn’t make sense to us right now. So… we’re living with a half finished bathroom for the next few weeks, and I’d love tp be One Step Closer =)
