{Giveaway is Closed}
The Winner is: #208 Lorene Halfmann
January is an excellent time to be thinking about organization and it happens every year after Christmas. We all start thinking of ways to declutter and get everything in the house in tip-top shape.
You saw the pretty stencil yesterday and today, I’m going to show you the mostly finished room. The wall really does add a soft and subtle backdrop to the furniture in the space. My sister has been shopping on Craigslist, Home Decorators Collection, and with my new collaboration with Lowes, I was able to spend $100 Lowes card on helping her get this space organized.
Oh, what fun! Just for reference, the wall color is the same SW Comfort Gray that we used in her master bath.
Come along and I’ll show you where we are. We were hoping to get this table and chairs painted, but we didn’t get that finished yet. The table and chairs are a Craigslist find for $100. We are planning to paint it a fun Barcelona Orange color in Annie Sloan Chalkpaint. Won’t that be happy down here?
You can see how big the space is in their basement. Really a nice room to use for this. That’s my black bookcase and chair to the right.
Rug was ordered online.
That’s my brown leather sofa too that she is keeping safe for me. Those mirrored closet doors hold all her stacked Christmas bins neatly away. She has so much great storage at her house.
And she’s keeping my island for me too. Lauren painted that cute fleur-de-lis painting.
Here are the really fun organizing pieces she added. The Martha Stewart piece on the left came from Home Decorator’s Collection and she is going to enjoy using that for her wrapping paper and ribbon. The cute cube storage is what we found at Lowes. It came in a box and we put it all together ourselves. It was a bit like Lucy and Ethel do Tool Time, but we made it through. Those fabric storage drawers are great for hiding the clutter and they came from Lowes as well.
We also found these pretty rattan baskets at Lowes and they are another great option for hiding the clutter. Pretty and functional, you gotta love that! Check out Lowes Creative Ideas website for lots of great ideas.
She’s going to really have fun with all this organization at her fingertips.
She also found that pretty bookcase on Craigslist for $75. That’s a deal, I love it.
So, are you doing some organization yourself this month? Did you feel the unmistakable pull of de-cluttering like everyone does this month? It seems that the first of the year is the optimal time to start the year off right and start putting “stuff” in its place.
If you are ready to organize and declutter, now’s a great time for YOU to get in on the fun too. Lowes is offering a $100 giftcard for one of you to spend at your local Lowes store. You can grab whatever your heart desires!

I would buy paint, paint and more paint! This whole house needs a paint job! 🙂

Ooohhhh… We’re SO in need of some storage items – shelves for the basement, boxes for all of the holiday decor, etc. And I need an electric staple gun! Think I might be above that $100 mark, ha! Thank you!
I LOVE the stenciling you did on the wall! If I win the gift card I would use it for my craft room that I am finally starting so I can get out of the unfinished, spidery basement.
I would buy some paint and slates for our picket fence
I’d buy all the materials to build a coat closet in my entry and finally get rid of all the coats just laying around the living room or draped on my dining room chairs!

I would put the $ toward my flooring purchase! Thanks, Rhoda!
I’m getting ready to build in a craft room and $100 would really help out! I hope I win! 🙂

I would buy items to organize and revamp my bathroom!!
I’m not going to lie. I’d probably save it and use it when we get a house of our own! I’m hoping that it’ll be this year! And, I know we’ll have to fix up a few things. 😀
Thank you for a chance to win!
I would get some paint for my guest bath. I work at school and love to use my snow days to paint. I haven’t had one this year but I like to be prepared. Then I would save some for spring planting. I love Lowe’s! Thanks, Rhoda!
I need to repaint my living room!
I tweeted! 🙂 @dlk3265

Great giveaway! I would definitely put it towards hardwood floors for our living room 🙂
I would use it to help us buy a new front door. We live in an older home and the door is definitely not energy efficient. We have been putting money aside and received some Lowes gift cards for Christmas.
I love to cook (and have a cake business on the side) and have a kitchen with no counter top space. It is depressing. Renovating the kitchen is not in the budget, but I have almost saved up enough to start building my own kitchen island that I have designed. The $100 would go towards paying for the counter top, the last hurdle! That would be very exciting, since sadly Birthday/Christmas for me are both in Dec and a long way away.
Beautiful craft room! I’d use the gift card for plywood and trim needed to complete my own craft room : ) Thanks for the giveaway!!
Tweet! Here’s hoping!

I’d love to win this giftcard to purchase some shelving to organize my garage. Maybe some new plants too once the weather warms up. Thanks!
