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

  4. I wish cutting in paint was SO SIMPLE, because now I really need some beautiful crown moulding to cover up all my wonky lines. Would love to win the cove moulding... (0: Looks great!

  5. I wish that prioritizing and budgeting were so simple! (Ok, for some people it probably is hahaha). Why did I start re-doing every room in our house at the same time?!?!?! This crown molding would help us finish at least one room.... :)

  6. What an awesome giveaway! I am really intrigued by this So Simple Crown Molding...I love the look of it! So many things I wish could be "So Simple!" Like, being as awesome as you guys and transforming my entire house! :)

  7. So Simple laundry would be the best—as in it would be so simple if someone did it for me! ;) Thanks for a chance to win!

  8. I wish getting ready in the morning was "so simple". I haven't made it to work on time since I had my son a little over a year ago.

  9. I wish for a "So Simple" kitchen renovation. My husband and I are tackling installing new butcherblock countertops and a backsplash by ourselves. "Gulp" Wish us luck! :-)

  10. 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.

  11. i wish replacing a toilet was so simple! The you-tube videos make it look "so simple" but I tried it this past weekend and found that preventing leaks was "not so simple".

  12. This is awesome. I wish there was a "so simple" shower, like on the Jetsons that brushes your teeth and shampoos your hair all at once. I'm that lazy.

  13. I wish cleaning my house with 3 under 6 was "so simple"! I'd love some crown for a built in project. :) That at lease is so simple!

  14. I wish removing old wallpaper left on the walls by previous owners was easier!! It's currently plaguing my family's dining room, which is where I would LOVE to use this great crown molding :)

  15. I wish getting day to day things completed with a 10 month old was simple! Then maybe we can.move on to the long list of projects to get done on the house.

  16. I wish the kids at my elementary would listen and do as they were told instead of acting crazy and causing me to have gray hairs..I love them but oh my goodness they are out of control:)

  17. i would have to agree with tracy on the pre-pregnancy size thing for sure. also wish child-rearing were so simple!

    ok. EVERYTHING needs to be so simple!!!

  18. ...it seemed 'so simple' when I started this whole re-painting my living room thing! Now Im not 'so sure!" But some new trim for my bay window would make me 'so happy!"

  19. I wish that when dealing with rental beige paint, there was a "so simple" way to put it back when moving out....

  20. "So simple" kids would be mind saving. Why dont they come with instructions. Love the room I have been inspired to try a grey blue in my front room. have always done browns. Thanks
