Berry Beautiful GIVEAWAY

June 4, 2009

Thanks to the folks over at CSN Stores, I was honored to choose an item from their line of products to giveaway on my site.  So one of you will be the lucky recipient of this lovely white earthenware Lenox Berry Bowl, which retails on the CSN Stores site for $60.  It includes the silver serving spoon !

lenox berry bowl giveaway

One can never have enough white ceramic decor, right?  This piece is designed to be used as a table worthy colander, but this bowl is actually quite versatile.  You can use it all summer long to wash your freshest berries, and it will come in especially handy for your Fourth of July soiree.  But you’ll never put it away.  Why?

This autumn, you could use this bowl to display a festive pumpkin in your home, or on your Thanksgiving table.  See ?

Then during the Christmas season, you might fill it with ornaments for your best holiday dinner party:

Better yet, before summer is out, you should line it with plastic, fill it with ice, and take it to the beach.  Don’t forget the limes:

Now that you’re convinced this will be a delightful addition to your home, you need to do two simple things to be eligible for this most splendid giveaway. 

In a comment, you must: 

1) Visit the platform beds link at CSN Stores and tell me which one of their platform beds you would use in your home.  No obligation to buy friends, just visit the link. 

2) In your comment, copy and paste yet another link to a fabulous DIY project.  Bonus points if it’s yours. 

That’s all folks. 

Remember, I am amassing a collection of your original DIY projects in the Links Library on my website with a link to your site, so don’t hesitate to prop yourself up.  If you’re not in the mood for self-promotion, you can still qualify by including a link to a DIY project that lately has inspired you.  (No fair linking to one of mine, though I would be most flattered.)

Tell all your friends so they can get in on the giveaway.  Eligibility ends at 8 p.m. PST on Sunday.  The winner will be chosen at random by Random.org and announced on Monday morning. 

good luck charm

Have a most relaxing weekend.

    What a neat store and beautiful bowl! I'm drooling over the Charlotte low profile sleigh bed. We're losing our guest room furniture to make room for a kids room, and that bed would be great to turn the office into a guest room.

    What a gorgeous bowl! I love the Copley Collection platform bed. I have a very similar nightstand to the one in the picture, so it would match perfectly.

    I just posted, on my blog yesterday, a little DIY project I finished, no tutorial though. I still have three chairs to go, but the first recovered chair turned out pretty nice.

    Well, of course we all want that bowl, it's beautiful. The Wilshire canopy bed is pretty, even though I'm not a platform bed girl.

    And here's one of my favorite projects. Modernizing a Vintage Lamp: http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/2008/01/modernizing-vintage-lamp.html

    Wonderful giveaway! I would purchase the Wilshire Platform Canopy Bed. I have a thing for four poster beds.

    For the project, I will be starting on this for my sunroom this month http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/idea-library/projects/Hanging_Bed_in_Sunroom_0508.aspx?link=hanging2&campid=LWS_WWMAYB051408&email=scadlegal@yahoo.com&source=email

    I think it is super cool and can't wait to see how it turns out!

    Lovely bowl! My favorite bed was the Hillsdale Wilshire bed. I think my Bootlegged Ballard Designs No Sew Iron On Pillows would look fabulous with it :). http://bethcrabtreehunter.blogspot.com/2009/06/bootlegged-ballard-designs-drop-cloth.html

  11. Sewing-Chick says:
    June 5, 2009 at

    Any of bed of mine has got to have legs, so I'd go with the Modus – Nevis Espresso Platform Bed. I like the idea of storage drawers underneath but not particularly the look I'm going for.
    Here's a painted-kitchen-cabinets project from April :)

    Beautiful giveaway!! And I think the bed I would choose is the Wilshire Platform Canopy Bed – how fun would it be to have a canopy??

    Here's a link to one of my favorite projects (with a tutorial) – hopefully other people will like it as much as I do!! http://itsgreattobehome.net/2009/06/05/make-a-storage-unit-from-salvaged-materials-step-4-customize/

    What a beautiful bowl. I would really love it. My favorite bed is definitely the Wilshire. It is just gorgeous and would fit my home perfectly.

    A bathroom mini-redo is one of my favorite DIY projects and was reasonably done.

    The canopy platform bed is very pretty. I'd love a canopy bed if I didn't have such low ceilings.

    I love this bed: http://www.bedroomfurniture.com/Atlantic-Furniture-Brooklyn-Platform-Bed-FY1183.html. The drawers underneath would be a great place to store books, magazines, snacks (did I say that?), or clothes….

    And one of my favorite DIY projects that I’ve found – that I can’t wait to try… is Melissa’s (of 320 Sycamore) Monogrammed Plates… http://granvillehouse.blogspot.com/2009/04/monogram-plate.html Aren’t they gorgeous? She’s inspiring! 

    I really dig the Nara platfrom bed. Such an interesting design.

    And here's a link to the mirrored coat rack I made — http://explanationrequired.blogspot.com/2009/05/shes-crafty.html It's still not hung yet, but I'm still pretty happy with the design.

  28. Teresa says:
    June 5, 2009 at

    OK, I think my favorite platform bed would be the Brooklyn bed because my husband and I really like mission-style furniture.

    This is a link to The Nester. Her window mistreatments are so freeing! http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/2008/05/mistreatment-toppers-and-valances.html

    What a great giveaway! I love that berry bowl!

    Who knew there were so many styles of platform beds? I certainly didn't! I'd chose the LifeStyle Solutions – Country Cottage platform bed for my daughter's room. So pretty!

    We just completed our entryway. Here's the link to it along with some DIY accents (you saw my ABC chair):

    Ok… I would use the Modus-Newport one. I like being able to see under my bed, it makes the room cleaner and clutter free to me. No, I do NOT have anything under my bed, no clothes, boxes nothing.

    My DIY project… well, it would HAVE to be the chair that I just re-upholstered http://life-uncluttered.blogspot.com/2009/05/finished-chair.html. I'm really proud of the chair, I love the fabric and the nail heads I used. I just think it's great and the chair only cost me $16. awesome.

    What a gorgeous bowl and spoon. It'd be beautiful anywhere on a tablescape! Throw in a handtowel and it could be a bread bowl.

    I love the infinity bed with drawers- anything for more storage space!

    Here is my next project- between your tutorial and the one here, I think I'm set! http://allthingsgd.blogspot.com/2008/08/diy-tufted-upholstered-headboard.html

    I'd have to go with the white Monterey captain's platform bed b/c of the storage.

    I am soooo crossing my fingers to win this giveaway! :)

    I already emailed you a couple of projects, but here's one I did yesterday about "prettifying" ugly stuff you have at home and feel bad about getting rid of ;)

    Hi! I found your blog via some links to your beautiful cherry tree mural, and decided to stay awhile.

    I do not have a fireplace. It's a sad state of affairs, because Santa must squeeze through the deadbolt lock. However, if I ever do procure a residence with a fireplace, I shall implement this DIY: http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/2008/02/hearts-and-flow.html

    If I were to choose a platform bed, I'd feel it necessary to choose the South Shore- Copley collection bed. This is because the bed is in pine, which is so last decade, but I still love the lightness and brightness of pine. Pout.

  40. Carolina Girl says:
    June 5, 2009 at

    Love the bowl and South Shore-Copley, its something about the color and shape of the bed together.

    My blog is still in the infant stages so not to many links to my own DIY (give a girl time). But I am planning bringing this http://chezlarsson.com/myblog/2009/06/etching-glass.html to something soon.

    Fairly new reader, first time commenter.

    I don't normal care for straight lines and geometrical shapes…I like more feminine curves that are so beautiful on that bowl and serving spoon. Anyway, the bed that I really liked it just the opposite of what I normally like. My bed of choice was the FBG Brooklyn platform bed. So cute!

    I have been pretty obsessed with http://www.thisyounghouse.com and recently stumbled upon your site which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Thank you for doing what you do and inspiring people like me!!

    Thanks for the chance to win
