Apartment Guide also announced the two $250 winners for the first round. Congrats to those to ladies. (Linda and Madalene - Are you Inspired by Charm readers?? Let me know in the comments below. - That would be so exciting!!)
Remember a couple weeks ago when I had my chat with Kim Myles and I mentioned I hear the passion she has for design in her voice? Well, Kim created some videos with Apartment Guide and I wanted to share them with you so you could get a sense of what I mean.
Apartment Guide and Kim Myles: Color Wheel Intro from Apartment Guide on Vimeo.
Apartment Guide and Kim Myles: Mix Up Decor Styles from Apartment Guide on Vimeo.
Do you hear that passion!? Love it! I would totally love to spend a day designing and shopping with her. It would be a blast.
Feel free to follow along with Apartment Guide's blog for more decorating advice from Kim. I, along with the other bloggers, will be posting on there as well. I let you know when my post goes up.

I voted the other day, I said I'd vote for the one I like best, which happened to be yours. I wish I could say I'd buy pretty things with the gift card, but realistically, I'd use if for diapers and shampoo...
I just voted for you and like like like. How I would spend would be on clothes because I am going to need them after losing this weight in a month.
I just voted for Costal Escape & pinned the giveaway.

I would have voted for you even if you hadn't said which one was yours! It's my fave! But....looks like we have to sign in with an address? We're currently living in a hotel (till we close on a house), so I don't have a real address. :( Feeling kind of homeless right now!
I also went ahead and shared on Pinterest!! Thanks so much for a chance to win!

Totes voted for you! Did you know that Targets outside of our fine state sell booze? SO I'd probably find one of them and stock up. Or more likely, just go buy some t-shirts and mascara, maybe a throw pillow if I'm feeling crazy.
I, of course, voted for you! It was the best design! I would probably buy a lot of pet food/supplies for my dog and 3 cats! :)
heather_chase@rocketmail.com

I voted for your board! If I won I would probably get some home decor things since I'm getting married in November and have a house that needs to be decorated! I'm thinking either his/her bed side lamps for our bedroom and other cute decorative touches for our bed side tables OR buy curtains for the dining room area!
Hi Michael! I shared the link on Facebook. What would I do with $100 at Target? Don't know yet - maybe get some really cute outfits for my niece or some indulgent beauty product for myself. Hmm... I might add to my board game collection.
--Amy, former coordinator of McElwain :-)
Voted! I do so love the coastal thing...perhaps that has something to do with my coastal location (West). Oh my goodness, the ENDLESS Target possibilities! I'm re-doing my 14 year old boys bedroom, so I think I'd focus on jazzy, techy, cool, modern pieces for his room, were I to win a $100 Target gift card. :-) I'm going to head over to Pinterest now, I'll head back when I'm done!
Just voted! love your room. If I won the Target gift card I'd use it toward the purchase of a new living room rug....right now we are "rugless" and I love my hard wood floor but no rug makes it hard for 6 people to lounge around and enjoy the room :)
Your room looks great Michael! I voted for ya'. Good luck!! I'd like $100 for Target to buy new rugs and curtains for my kitchen makeover i am in the process of.
Voted for ya! I'd buy clothes and house stuff :-D
ok just tweeted the giveaway! thanks Michael!
I got all PinFaced with your business...<3! All 2 of my twitter followers are about to get a barrage of Charm, too!
I loved your coastal escape design! I am from the Pacific Northwest and although our coastline looks different than most destination beaches I love it! If I win the gift card I would love to use it to turn my new condo into an abode that fits my husband's and I's personality a little more than it does now. We just left student housing and are looking forward to creating our little universe in the world. Love you!
oh yeah and I just shared your post about the giveaway on Facebook!
Love your style, but not for a dining room :P
I would use the gc on new curtains for my living room...it's been wayyyy too long and I need an updated look!
Just voted and FBed it.
My logical side would use the gift card for school supplies for the girlies, but my other side would use it for stuff for their room that I'm slowly trying to phase out of "babyish" into a real girl space.
Voted and posted on FB ;9
loved the designs...voted for you..good luck..love the red chairs!!
Just voted for your (super cute) Coastal Escape! Love the mirror!
Just pinned your Coastal Escape, my friend is redoing her cabin and I thought this would be super cute, so I tagged her in it as well. If I received the $100 gift card to target, I would use it to decorate my new apartment that I am moving into 3 days after my wedding in August. I am so excited to start with a blank slate and get super cute decorations like the driftwood mirror that would fit in perfectly in our bedroom!
Just voted, good luck!
What would buy? A bookshelf, I've run out of space and need a new one.
Oh shoot, forgot the email:

Voted! For you too - you really have the most cohesive look, that really hits the nail on the head of the theme you're going for.
As for the Target gift card, I want to get back into crafty mode so I'd probably blow it all on new pens, paper, stickers and other goodies to get my creative juices flowing.

If I won the Target gift card, I would buy (at least some) patio furniture for the nice townhouse my fiance and I just started renting! We didn't have much of an outdoor space before, but now we have a screened in back patio with a nice view of a pond (and the neighbors' backyards (: ). I would love to sit outside and watch the sunset!

I have voted for you numerous times on each. If I were to wine the $100 to Target I would buy much needed supplies for my classroom and the kids who can't afford to purchase them.
Also, I just posted on my blog about this post and your blog!
I tweeted your winning opportunity on Twitter. I follow you there, and on Pinterest as well as your e-mails. Love your ideas! You're getting my votes!
Just voted, love following you on Pinterest. If I won the gift card I would buy things for my kids rooms in the new home we are hoping to get soon. (Now I can finally USE all these ideas!)
Voted for your charming coastal design! Loved it! If I were to win the Target gift card I would use it on school supplies for me & my 4 boys! Sad but true!
and if I had any money left after buying for the classroom, I would see what bargains I could get for some redecorating at home... Of course I'd check your pin board for ideas first.
Just voted, love following you on Pinterest! If I won the card I would use it to buy some things for my kids rooms in the house we hope to be in soon. Then I can start using all the great ideas I have pinned!

I voted! I actually liked the second one better (just my personal taste), but I like your designs, too. :) I would use a Target gift card for new curtains, pillows, and a throw blanket for our living room. We just got a rug set, and I want to get those three to coordinate with the rug and set off the one red wall in the room. I think it would do wonders for the look, because all we have right now are tan curtains and pillows, and I'd like to spice it up with some brighter colors. :)
I just shared it on Facebook, too. :)
I voted for Coastal Escape of course!
I would buy new couch throw pillows and a new set of sheets for our bed with my Target card!
You are the cutest thing... love your style, blog and pinterest boards!

I just voted for your room. I'm not sure what I would be with a $100 Target gift card, but I'm sure it would be something frivolous and completely unnecessary!

I could do some "thrifty shopping" at Target with a hundred bucks. I'd buy "clearance" garden items since summer inventory will be marked down in a few weeks. I'm "one gardening Grandma". I've voted for your Rustic decor and for your Coastal decor as well along with "pinning" it to Pinterest under my post "Did you say FREE?". Everybody loves FREE !!! I so enjoy your daily email blogs. My daughter lives in PA, such a beautiful part of the country. I need to look up your town on one of my visits to PA. Take care, Joyce
