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! My husband has been saying he’s going to frame these irregularly-sized large prints himself since it’s too expensive to get Michael’s or somewhere similar to do it… but he has been dragging his feet on getting all the supplies! This would be a big kick in the pants for him. ;)

    GET ME CLOSER to finishing our yard! It’s such a big task ( the front was started but we’re redoing almost everything and the back is a blank slate). We’re excited about the journey but I can picture so many things finished in my mind and it’s hard to be patient with how long it’s really taking. :)

    I really want to get my yard done. My hubby has been so busy that it’s quite neglected. As far as the inside goes, I’d definitely pick my bedroom. It’s always the last on the list.

    GET ME CLOSER! to finishing/starting my husband’s home office. It has wood paneling from 1970 (when the house was built). We need to take paneling off, tape, mud and sand the drywall behind the paneling… why they did that I will never know… then paint and organize for better office efficiency :-)

    GET ME CLOSER

    To switching our downstairs bathroom and laundry “closet”. The bathroom has so much wasted space for just a toilet and sink. Switching them would allow for us to have a utility sink (great for those cloth diapers!) and more room to sort/organize the laundry.

    GET ME CLOSER! I need to make a headboard ASAP. We have to keep our frame bumped out from the wall so it doesn’t interfere with the power outlet, and the gap is a pillow devouring annoyance. I need $$ to be able to buy the supplies at Blue or Orange!

    GET ME CLOSER! I’m a seamstress and while I’m always working on a wedding gown or party dress or home improvement project for…someone else…I never seem to have the time or funds to finish several projects for myself. Like painting and reupholstering this fantastic chair that’s sitting up on my stair landing. Or freshening up our hardworking coffee-center table with a nice lacquered finish that won’t show stray grounds so obviously. Or building a new portable display unit for the artisan markets I occasionally vend at. So many things to finish!

    Our kitchen is in need of some serious renovation. It hasn’t been updated since 1913. Imagine mauve tile countertops, very little counter space, and no dishwasher and you’d be imagining our kitchen. :)
