Alright peeps, let the games begin!!!

Just click here to get your $5 mail-in rebate.  Not too shabby!

I’m a huge sucker for all the visual interest that these lamps provide, from the leaded details to that awesome geometric shape.  But at $79 for the small version (8.5 x 8.5 x 8.5″ h) and $99 for the larger size (13 x 13 x 13″ h), I wasn’t exactly jumping out of my seat at the price.  Bummer.

And then I remembered a beautiful lamp that I recommended in a design consult a few months back:

Bingo!!  This beauty from Lamps Plus is a dead ringer for the fancy Pottery Barn version, and at only $49.99 for a lamp that’s 11.5 x 11.5 x 11.5″ h it’s a total bargain!

Gotta love when you can get that look that you covet for a lot less.  Have you guys run across any great finds recently that you’d like to share?  Spill the beans!

P.S.  It looks like the PB version can also be hung, which is a plus over the Lamps Plus version which can only sit on a table.  Still, I think I’d rather save a little dough, and I’m willing to bet that a crafty DIY-er could fashion a hang-able version out of the Lamps Plus star!

As you all know, the wood floor in our den is totally bare – naked as a jaybird.  How embarrassing.  Is there anyone else out there with a naked floor?  Or maybe a floor that could use a little (or a lot) of sprucing up?  I thought so!!

Well, that’s where the latest IGTBH Gnarly Giveaway comes into play.  Remember those gorgeous rugs that I featured awhile back?  Well, bunches of those beauties were from CSN Rugs, a a cool online rug store that has a ridiculous number and variety of rugs at your fingertips.  But in addition to being cool, CSN Rugs is also feeling oh-so-generous.   That’s right, they want to give one of you lovely readers this snazzy rug in either a 2′ x 3′ or 2′6″ x 4 size:

How cool is that?  I’m totally smitten by the shades of teal, aqua, and steel blue – very ocean-esque, don’t you think?  It would look awesome in a kitchen, entryway, hallway . . . I think I could find a place just about anywhere for this little guy.  I’m exceedingly jealous of y’all right now.

So now that you’re as smitten as I am, want to hear the details on how to win this sucker?  I’m trying out something new for this Gnarly Giveaway, so we’ll see how it goes!!  You can enter to win this rug up to FOUR times by doing one or more of the following things:
