Your Picks. Your Place. :: Living Room Design Board

Remember a couple weeks ago when I shared my Tea Towel Inspired Bedroom and I mentioned I was working on other Design Boards. Well, this is what it was for.

My first room assignment from Apartment Guide was create rustic living room hideaway. I was given a certain dollar amount I could 'spend' per room.  Inspired by the color of honey and thoughts of a cozy cabin I got to work.

Here's my finished plan!

 What do you think?

I'm just loving all the patterns, colors, and textures. Isn't that bee print just the cutest!? I just want to nestle in on that couch with a good book and waste the day away. Won't you join me (you can bring the sangria!)


Now for the nitty gritty on how you can win some big bucks! Wouldn't it be fantastic if an Inspired by Charm Reader won the grand prize!? I'd be ecstatic!

Is your place in need of a style update?  Apartment Guide has partnered with TV host and design expert Kim Myles for the second annual Apartment Guide Your Picks. Your Place. Sweepstakes.  

From now until August 14, visit YourPicksYourPlace.com to vote once per day for your preferred room design showcasing furniture and home décor items selected by featured bloggers.  The site will feature four different room designs every two weeks. 

By voting, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $10,000 grand prize or one of eight $250 weekly prizes to go towards your own selections for your home. 

While you’re on the site, you can find design and décor tips from Kim Myles, Apartment Guide and featured bloggers to help you design a room that’s uniquely you.

....................................................

Take a moment and head on over to Your Picks. Your Place. to vote and you will be automatically entered to win. It's that simple.


This is what my board looks like on the site ...

As promised, this is where I'm shamelessly asking begging you to vote for me! (I feel like I'm running for class president or something.)  There are some other fabulous bloggers participating and I don't think I actually win anything other than bragging rights, so winning isn't a huge deal, but it would still be pretty amazing.

 Your votes for my boards are beyond appreciated.

You can also visit the three other fabulous bloggers who are participating in this project...

Jamiely from I Heart Naptime

Diane from In My Own Style

Maryann from Domestically Speaking

From now through August 14th I will share three more design boards (Dining Room, Office and Bedroom) at which time you will be able to vote on those as well. Remember you can vote once a day, so do expect a couple reminders here and there. I promise to keep it to a minimum. 

....................................................

So, this is all pretty excited stuff, right? Would you believe me if I told you it gets better. Guess what, its getting a whole lot better! 

This year, Apartment Guide has partnered with with Kim Myles, TV Host and design and decor expert! Can you believe it!? You may know her as the winner of Season 2 of HGTV's Design star and from her show Myles of Style. She's the cutest thing ever and obviously uber talented. 

And guess who gets to chat on the phone with her this afternoon?! Me!! 

Yeah. I'm kind of freaking out here. Next week I will share some information from our chat. So exciting!

So head on over and get voting!

I can't thank you enough for your support and your votes during this sweepstakes. You are amazing! Thank you!!!
