Awesome CSN Giveaway and Some Daydreaming...

This giveaway is now closed. :) Better luck next time!
Check back for another great giveaway coming up soon!
I'm so excited to be doing a CSN giveaway and the timing is just perfect! (1800+ followers! Thanks to my amazing friends!) You're going to be excited too!

---------------------------------

First, let's daydream! As you know I'm working on the dining room makeover and I am in fact choosing dining chairs from CSN but you're also aware that we have a severe case of kitchen envy lately. Let's just pretend that it's next on our renovating list. It might just become reality! We definitely want a kitchen island. We have a rather large kitchen with lots of empty space in the center. Perfect for a kitchen island and Mr. DIY's dream pot rack and prep sink. Have I ever mentioned he does all of the cooking because he enjoys it? I enjoy him cooking too. :)


So, I set about online window shopping for bar furniture and I think these are what we'd choose (yes, inspired by yet another DIY Show Off kitchen feature just the other day, click here if you missed it):

Or even these in white or sea mist...

Now, back to the giveaway! CSN/allbarstools.com is generously giving away one of the following to a DIY Show Off reader! That's YOU! Did you know that CSN has over 200 stores?! You will definitely find an amazing selection of everything! Don't you think it's genius of them to be so involved in our little blog world? It's exciting!

#1 -The first prize to choose from is this cute cottage bench in your choice of yellow, green or blue. My only dilemma is "where to put it?" - I think it'd be cute in my mudroom/back entry way. I also have a spot in the kitchen or dining room for extra seating. How about at the bottom of the stairs? How cute would it be in the corner of the family room or at the end of the guest bed?


#2 - OR anything YOU choose up to $80 (a free shipping item) at any of the CSN stores. Here is the link: www.csnstores.com ! $80! Woo hoo! You could even put $80 towards one of the above mentioned bar stools!

#3 - How about this pretty eco friendly mirror that I think can fit a variety of different styles. I love the shape and texture.

Here is how the giveaway works:
  • The giveaway is only open to US and Canada residents for shipping purposes (sorry foreign friends!)
  • Leave a comment telling me which one you would choose (1,2 or 3) and where it belongs in your home. THAT's ALL! Just comment to enter!
  • The giveaway runs NOW through Thursday, May 13th at midnight EST.
  • Blog or tweet with a link to this post and come back telling me you did so for another chance.
  • Winner will be chosen via random.org and announced on Friday, May 14th.
  • Be sure to include a way to contact you...it's no fun winning if you don't know about it!

I also wanted to tell you that I am in official too-excited-to-sleep countdown to a Mexican vacation so while I have plans to blog from Playa del Carmen and Cozumel while Mr. DIY goes diving, in the event you don't hear from me - I may be on the beach or climbing a pyramid and internet access could be limited but I will be thinking of you as always. And if I get a little goofy in the next week, the internet access might be limited but the frozen fruity drinks are not. :)
