A Dash and Albert Rug GIVEAWAY

I was so honored when Annie Selke's team over at Fresh American asked me to share a few of my affordable spring decorating tips with their readers! It was such a fun post to write because as you know I love quick seasonal changes that make your rooms feel like new again. To read all 5 tips pop on over to the post AND as if free design advice was not enough they are giving away one of their fabulous indoor/outdoor rugs. How nice of them, right? Well get on over there and enter...right now would be great because it ends tonight!

 

This is an image from BHG and it just happens to feature the exact rug Dash and Albert is giving away!

Quick Tip: Change out your seat cushions and runners for fun spring colors, it will chase away the winter blues and add a nice burst of color!

Home Typography Tuesday with Coulson Macleod

Today I am so excited to announce a very special giveaway with my friends at Coulson Macleod! How could I not do flips over a company that combines home decor, typographic art and eco friendly materials? The company's focus is more on the design aspects of the piece and using reclaimed materials which means for us gorgeous wall decor with all it's natural knots and imperfections.

At Coulson Macleod you have the option to purchase one of their ready made pieces or you can create one of your very own by selecting your frame and sending in your text. Can anyone say endless options?! I love when a company encourages creativity!

Of course my mind is swirling with quotes and ideas! My hope is to create a very special piece for our own wedding day!

As you know I just become an engaged girl but did you hear so did Hannah and Mark the uber creative duo behind Coulson Macleod so it is appropriate that we chose this "Soulmates Forever" piece as our giveaway today!

A Blooming Giveaway!

Last week I promised to all those who participated in my blog survey a little thank you in the way of a unique giveaway! This is a special one you can make your very own! The extremely talented Laura Larson from Two Yellow Shoes has been nice enough to offer up a set of her "Blooming Pillows". I discovered TYS while scouting local Boston Etsy designers for a STUFF Magazine article and immediately fell in love! She is one incredibly creative lady and I love the fact these sweet pillows came out of a desire for a ring bearers pillow for her own wedding! I would also see these pillows used with an accent chair in a nursery, as the wow piece in the living room or even better one for my bed and one as a surprise gift for a friend!


"Pillows measure approx. 13" x 13" in size. The pillows are made from canvas and the flowers are felt and measure in various sizes, 12" x 12" being the largest layer. Eight layers of wool felt make up each flower. These pillows "pucker" in the center giving the illusion that the flower is blooming." Two Yellow Shoes

A sample of felt colors available for the "Bloom"!

Not only does Laura create amazing pillows she also is an expert in beautiful wedding invitations and accents. I just adore her custom favor boxes check them out at her Etsy Store!

In order to enter please leave a comment below with your Blooming felt color selections and where you would use them in your house! There will be one winner (of 2 identical pillows) which I will announce next Monday 2/8/10.

Good Luck and thanks again for participating in the survey, your honest feedback was just incredible!
