Giveaway Gold: Put the Own in Crown Molding

March 19, 2012
Giveaway is now closed
Congratulations to Lauren2028 who said, "I wish that trying to decorate my house was 'so simple'....I can't make up my mind for the life of me!"
We're not afraid to call in the pros when we are faced with a challenge that is above our skill-set, like installing a new window.  Crown molding is one of those things we had never done, but heard a few horror stories about--even from the talented folks over at Yellow Brick Home.  So when it came time to add the molding atop our built-ins, we searched for tutorials and ultimately found this very easy, DIY-friendly crown molding.  The corners are precut, it's paintable and very lightweight, and bonus--all you need to install it is a little caulk.
You can read about our own installation process here (we went with the Cove Molding) and see the almost-finished built-ins here (styling is currently underway).  Or, just browse So Simple Crown's selection and pick your favorite style because we're giving away 52 linear feet of it--that's enough for a 12x12 room!  Woot.
  • Prize:  52 linear feet of any 3" or 4" So Simple Crown molding.
  • To Enter: Leave a comment telling us what else you wish was "So Simple."  For instance, "So Simple abs would be convenient."
  • Giveaway Closes: Thursday, March 22nd at 11pm MST
  • Number of Winners: One
  • Prize Ships:  Anywhere in the continental United States.
  • Fine Print:  Only one entry per e-mail address, people. We'll summon random.org after the giveaway closes to select our winner and announce it on Friday as an update to this post.  Go. Go. Goooooo!!!!!
Note: We weren't paid to host this giveaway, we tried their product and loved it and So Simple Crown graciously allowed us the opportunity to spread the love to our readers.  Photos courtesy of So Simple Crown.

  56. wow, love your site. please toss my hat in the ring. I wish my hubby's business would improve (not so simple) and I wish it was so simple to find a new job, as I recently lost mine due to my boss passing away. Sheesh how many people can say that? I have always wanted to put crown moulding in my living room and I adore it.

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]
