Weekend Giveaway: $100 Target Gift Card!

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.

Congrats to: Kara (karamullinix@…)

If you’ve ever done any type of home renovation project, you’ve probably thumbed through piles of magazines, scoured the Internet, and walked the isles of home improvement stores searching for inspiration and ideas.

Or maybe I’m the only one! 

I absolutely LOVE reading about other people’s ideas, learning helpful tips and tricks, drooling over amazing before and after pictures, seeing the lastest products, and dreaming of what my house might look like if I implemented even just a few of the ideas in my ideas book or in my array of Pinterest boards.

So as you can imagine, I’ve been doing lots of “research” for our kitchen renovation… which means I spend a fair amount of time each week searching for new ideas, looking for deals on products we want to buy, and drooling over all things “kitchen”.

Don’t tell Dave, he thinks I’m always working when I’m at my computer 🙂

Anyway, because I’m a home-renovation junkie, I’m excited to share a fun little design sweepstakes sponsored by Apartment Guide.

“Your Picks. Your Place.” Sweepstakes

From now until August 14, you can visit YourPicksYourPlace.com to vote {once per day} for your favorite room design showcasing furniture and home décor items selected by featured bloggers.

Unfortunately they don’t have a kitchen round, but the voting is currently open for some pretty sweet bedroom designs… like the one featured below.

By voting, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $10,000 grand prize or one of eight $250 weekly prizes to decorate your own home. You can also find design and décor tips from Apartment Guide, and featured bloggers to help you design a room that’s uniquely you.

And while we’re on the topic of home renovations, decorating, and design, I figured we might as well include a fun giveaway…

Like a $100 Target gift card so you can purchase a few new things for your home!

    I get my inspiration from magazines, catalogs, Pinterest, and friends houses!

    I get my design inspiration from fabric. Certain designs and colors just speak to me and then it’s easy for the rest of the room to fall in line. I have a special place in my heart for retro fabric, probably because I remember it from the first time around so it brings back memories.

  3. Rebekah says

    My design inspiration comes from Better Homes and Garden magazine, blogs I frequent, and just trying things together that I already love!

  6. Heidi says

    I voted for the Coastal Escape bedroom. That is exactly my style – light, airy and relaxed. Love it!

  9. Sarah F. says

    My inspiration does not come from one individual place – it comes from home decorating blogs, homes I visit, travel, and magazines.

  11. Michelle says

    I get my design inspiration from nature. I love wall colors like wheat (warm brown/gold) or stone (soft gray). I also like to liven things up with pops of color, like when I painted my mother’s antique rocking chair turquoise after she passed away. It connects me to her (like getting a hug) and makes me feel grounded to the past, but it also gives off a fun & new feeling and reminds me of her joyful spirit.

    Of course I love Pinterest, but I also really like driving around my favorite neighborhoods near our home town and seeing how people do their landscaping, outdoor decor, etc.

  16. Brandi Millsap says

    Where was this website when I remodeled my house two years ago? Most of my ideas then came from HGTV and walking the aisles at Lowes.

    As a newly-wed with a “project house,” meaning it was a foreclosure that needed a ton of work when we bought it 8 months ago, my life is full of looking for inspiration and ideas! I would love $100 from target to keep me going…

    I get some ideas from pinterest, some from other homes, some from blogs, but mainly I try to incorporate thngs we already own (combined two households five years ago) and use what we have in a pretty and functional way.

    Pinterest, of course! (Psst…I also play the “i’m working hard on the computer” game. I also peruse blogs for ideas and inspiration.

    Decorating ideas come from friend’s houses and this crazy artsy part of my brain. Although, i do enjoy spending time on pintrest,, in catalogs, and walking through stores too and hope to refine my decorating skills soon. 🙂
