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 reupholstering the dining chairs in our furnished rental so they we don’t leave them all ripped up and stained when we move out in a couple of months. The gift certificate would really come in handy once we buy our first house, which we are hoping to do not long after we move to Florida this summer. I’m looking forward to the house projects we will have then.

    I would love to repaint our master suite! It was first on my list when we moved in – after the kitchen, the den, the nursery, and the dining room. Needless to say, we’ve done those rooms, a bathroom, a second nursery, the dining room again, and the den a total of three times. Since not many folks go into the master suite, its just never made it to the top. A $100 gift card would go a long way to refreshing the master bed and bath!

    GET ME CLOSER… to repainting the kitchen. We had to do some wall repair, and the “color-matching” paint doesn’t actually match the current color, so now 1/3 of a wall is slightly darker, thus making it look like it’s constantly in shadow.

    Get me closer to…finishing the back bedroom! All that’s left is ripping up the carpet, refinishing the hardwood floors, painting the trim, adding curtains, a ceiling light fixture, and buying furniture for the room. I’m hoping to finish this weekend so I can move onto the next room! My list of what to do around the house is about as long as yours and I’m determined to get all major projects finished by Thanksgiving.
