Giveaway Turns Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER.  CHECK OUT THE WINNER HERE.


About a month ago, we were thrilled to learn that we were the winners of a giveaway hosted by Flex Family Arts.  That giveaway was a beautiful photo print of our choice by Meliane Caskey.


We selected this beautiful print and were as pleased as punch when it arrived.  We placed it in an empty, perfect-sized frame that we already had laying around.  


Now the only dilemma...where to hang it?!


Oh the options....


The Living Room 
(PS- we have plans to create a corner shelving system as well as paint something on the wall, so the photo wouldn't be all alone)






The Stairwell 
(PS- we have plans to eventually create a huge gallery wall with all sorts of eye candy with this huge real estate)






The Basement/Craft area 
(PS- we may eventually paint the walls a different color)






The Bedroom 
(PS- we are also thinking of creating a gallery here with various wall hangings aside from Eric's amazing firebird).






In our infinite (and indecisive) wisdom we decided the best way to solve this problem was to ask our readers to choose for us via a contest.  


Soooooo, here's the deal, complete the following mandatory items to enter the contest.  On Monday, November 28, 2011 we will randomly select a winner.  The winner will get bragging rights, as we will hang the photo where they suggested.  They will also get to win their choice of one item from Jill's etsy shop, MustHaveStaches.


Currently, you will just see just gloves, but there are quite a few additional items that will be posted there come Monday, November 28, 2011.  Below is a sample of some other items she has made in the past.


Mustache bandannas, mustache ties, mustache gloves, mustache on a stick on display, mustache napkins, mustache pillows

  2. I think the color of the flower and the frame best accent the white wall and the wood grain that is in the basement. If you do paint a different color, I may move it to the stairwell gallery. I follow via Facebook but I think I will subscribe so I remember to check in on you guys. If you don't have my new e-mail it's debesd@gmail.com :)

  13. I am following using GFC. I think you should hang it in the The Basement/Craft area. The colors accent the room nicely. The picture doesn't really match the curtains in the living room, there is too much negative space in the stairwell and in the bedroom it draws your eye away from the firebird (which is amazing by the way.)

    That photo was made for the stairwell. It's just the bast thing to brighten up the area and will make a great focal point as you add more pieces to the wall.

    I think that lovely print should go in the basement. There are never enough sunny surprises in basements, and this would be lovely.

    Thanks for the chance!

    -I like the living room best. There's a nice little nook for it, and it's not overwhelmed by an expanse of empty wall.

  31. GFC follower as jhb. I vote for the basement. It looks right as far as spatial positioning and size, but maybe once you get other galleries going on on the other walls, you might move it.

  32. Hi! I follow you via GFC and I think you should hang it at the top of the stairwell. I also think you should get a little tiny shelf to hang under it with a few little pretties and baubles on it! mercedesyardley@gmail.com
