Giveaway Gold: U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

June 28, 2011
This Giveaway is Now Closed.  Congrats to ArtsyNina for taking home the area rug gold!

A good quality area rug can transform a room--and we have a lot of rooms to transform in this house.  So, when RugsUSA offered up a freebie of my choice, I jumped on that!  Actually, I played it cool and professional until it arrived this morning.  Then Greta and I jumped up and down on it---ya know, to test things out and form a valid review.

The verdict:   It's hands down (!) my new favorite area rug.  I luurrrvvee the unexpected raised texture in the detailing--which is totally unique.  The design is classic, the colors are neutral and it is bound to add loads of visual interest to any room.  We are thinking it would be perfection in our master bedroom, especially after we get some rich dark hardwood floors to replace the old carpet.  Or maybe even in the dining room.  OOOooo....I'll have to try that one once Chris gets home.  But for now, some proof at how truly versatile this carpet is:

Pretty much adaptable to any space, right?  In any home, right?  Like, maybe...your home.  *Cue grin.  Here's the part you've been waiting for:  I couldn't accept a freebie without sharing the love.  So, another home is going to be the lucky recipient of this 5x8 area rug.  
The Nitty Gritty--

Prize:  One 5x8 (technically 5'2"x7'6") Rugs USA Transitions Collection Wrought Iron Ivory Rug (the one featured right here valued at $269!)  

Number of Winners:  One lucky home.

To Enter:  Leave a comment with the phrase "Magic Carpet" and let us know where you would fly a carpet to this summer.  For instance, I would love to take a magic carpet to Florida to see our besties and swim and laugh and talk for hours.  (Note: This carpet isn't really magic and doesn't really fly, but we do hope you get some fun traveling in this summer.)   

Details:  Prize ships to the contiguous United States (we still love you Alaska and Hawaii!).  Giveaway closes Saturday, July 2nd at 9pm MST.  Only one entry per person.  The winner will be chosen using Random.org and announced on Monday, July 4th. 

Best of luck to you, future carpet twin. 
PSST,  RugsUSA is having a huge sale right now and lots of their rugs are an additional 20%-30% off.  Ya know, just in case you are like us and have more than one room that could use a little eye candy on the floor to tie things together.

Update: Our "magic carpet" landed in the dining room.  Check it out here.

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 […]

Cranberry-Glazed Ham

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]

Product Test: Portable Phone Chargers

There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
