{My Green Shag Carpet} GIVEAWAY.

This post title might me a little misleading. I'm not actually giving away a green shag carpet, but I do have one and it looks a little something like this:

True story.

Don't get me wrong, I love where I live: in the heart of Las Vegas with the handsome feller I love. We are central to everything. (Including a crazy bird lady who lives in front of us, but let's save that for another post.) At the end of the day, however, there are some changes I want to make where I live. Don't we all?

Cue the music...

This is where my little giveaway comes in. The creators of The Knot have brought us The Nest. The Nest has put together an amazing book. I'm giving away the book here on my blog. Following? Great.



I have this book and I LOVE IT. Period. It's, by far, my favorite home design book I've come across. Why? It tells you in little and big ways how you can fab up your home room by room. Where to hang your pictures. How to choose the right living room layout. All of it. You'll love it, trust me.

So - even though I'm not the best rule follower myself - here are the rules for the giveaway.

- This giveaway is a thank you to my readers, so you must be a follower (in some capacity) of just a small town girl to enter. If you're not a follower already, do it now. All the cool kids are doing it. :) Please leave a comment telling me how you follow.

- Blog about this little giveaway, with a link to JASTG, on your blog and get another entry. Be sure to leave an extra comment here with a link to your blog.

- Tweet about it, with a link to JASTG, and leave another comment here letting me know for another entry.

There you have it. Pretty standard, right? You have up to three chances to win, but - let's face it - you're a winner anyway. The giveaway is open until midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on Sunday the 7th. The lucky winner will be chosen by random.org and announced on Monday the 8th.

Oh, and just to make me smile, let me know what's the one thing you want to change in your home? You know, what's your green shag carpet?

  10. At the moment, I need to spruce up my walls. Meaning I need to take down all the 2009 calendars that are up (my most recent design idea, which was actually pretty fun. Until, you know, 2009 ended). So yeah, I could definitely benefit from this book!

    And I follow through Google Connect.

    +i just had to say that i LOVE your blog. your blog is, by all means, my favorite to read. i love everything about it! it just rocks.

  14. Cool giveaway! Well I'm still looking for a place in Singapore but my parents have these odd habit of collecting oddities from their travels - like a thermometer from Canada with a color picture and a maple leaf. Odd. Oh the little things I could do to change the decor there!

    ReplyDelete

  15. Oh! I so want in! If I could change up my home... Well I'd change up my house a lot because right now I'm just a college student living with her parents, so everything in the house is set up the way my parents want it (besides my room of course). Everything's kind of Asian-y, lol. I'd open up a lot more of the windows and use natural lighting during the day. My parents are kinda like paranoid shut-ins and so they're always cooped up here. So I'd let this house be a lot more breezier in a sense.

  16. I'd follow you from North Dakota to Iowa, lady!

    I tweeted it!

    And I would change my psycho chihuahua.

  17. Great Giveaway!

    I would love to change our master bathroom - we are in definite need of double sinks!

    Oh, I am a follower through Google reader!

  18. I follow via my google reader.

    Being a renter, there are many things I'd like to change, but it doesn't seem worth the time/$$ investment (i.e. adding more color to the walls - everything's a beige color which is still better than stark white or adding more of a garden outside). Also, our house is pretty new (nice for renting), but I wish it had more old house character.

    On a more realistic note, I want to set up my desk area to make it more fun & better organized. And that IS possible.

  19. OMG, I'm renting an old dingy apartment right now so I can live downtown, so there are so many things I would change! But my green shag carpet is probably my bedroom furniture. It's about 10 years old and just giant and cumbersome. I'd love something more light and delicate.

    And I am a loyal follower via Google friend connect. :D

  20. Follower, of course!
    Hmm, everything in my dorm is pretty shipshape, I guess if I'd change anything, it would be my lack of cooking utensils. Could use a pot and pan and silverware!

  32. I'm alrady a follower! And we are in the process of buying our first home, a 1955 bungalow that is still owned by the ORIGINAL OWNERS - so everything needs to be changed. The last time they painted was the 70s. (I have a set of photos up on Flickr if you are interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/meli-mello/sets/72157623420352439/). The first thing to go is the bathroom which has carpet on it! Can you say, EW GROSS!
