New Year, New Style: AMEX Gift Card Giveaway from Apartment Guide!

*This giveaway is now closed and winner is announced at bottom of post*

Happy Friday everyone! I’m excited to let you all know I have partnered with Apartment Guide for their New Year, New Style: Decorating on a Budget campaign! I think with every new year, every person is longing for some kind of change. It doesn’t have to be a huge change either.  I know I always want to change up some decor in our home at the first of the year and get ready for spring. Whether you’re living, looking or moving Apartment Guide offers how-to tips for making the most of your space on a budget.

There’s a little area I’d like to freshen up a bit and that would be our entry table.

There’s a lot of things I want to do to this wall, but for the time being I’m just going to focus on the accessories on the table…I think.  And my bird cage lamp bit the dust a while back and so there is no lamp on the table and I’ve missed one tremendously! So a new lamp is a definite must. And the table itself is really too small for that wall, but that’s for another day. But regardless, I’ll definitely show you what I end up doing on a budget of course. :) Ready to redecorate your home but short on cash? Apartment Guide can help you find inexpensive decorating ideas for how to update an area or room without spending a lot of money.

There’s also another spot I’m considering redoing, and it’s a small area. Are you looking for new furniture for a small apartment? Check out our ideas for where to find pieces especially meant for small spaces: http://www.apartmentguide.com/blog/?p=2581

Also, if you’re ready for a whole new space or are looking to move, Apartment Guide has the photos, floor plans, features and tips to help you find the perfect apartment community.  Then once you change things up or move into a new place, you might be wondering how to make your new space your own? Apartment Guide has tips for how to decorate your apartment on a dime: http://www.apartmentguide.com/blog/?p=1271.  Everything you need is right here at your fingertips!

    I live in a tiny little studio with my husband, so it is very important for us to create a room where we can both feel comfortable and not crammed in. I would like to spruce up our kitchen area with some new shelves and our bathroom with some yellow/pink accessories to brighten it up.

  13. Marin D says

    I need to find some sort of sorter (is that a word?) for all of our incoming papers, bills, coupons, etc. in the kitchen area. There are always stacks everywhere. This would be perfect!

  27. Beth says

    We have a split level staircase in our home that includes a landing – not small enough to do anything drastic but large enough that it needs something with charm and visual appeal! :)

  28. Karen H. says

    Our kitchen…It’s a work in progress, and I’m planning to do some of that work over the three-day MLK Day weekend. Thank you for the giveaway.

  30. Valerie J. says

    We are currently working on our living room and am currently looking for some accessories for it.

  38. SalBug says

    Our home office for sure. It’s a good sized room with fabulous furniture and lots of storage, but it’s too utilitarian. I’d like to jazz it up a bit so that I want to spend time there too, not just my husband.

  43. Jennie says

    I want to spruce up my couch in the den. It’s white and in complete NEED of new exciting throw pillows!

  48. Trude says

    Oh yes, I’m definitely longing to polish off my bedroom, considering we moved in back in August! It just needs a few more pieces and a gift card would really help. :) Thanks!

  57. April was in CT now CA says

    I’d love to spruce up our bedroom. It’s always overlooked and it’s time to do something with it!

  58. Chanda says

    We are renovating our master bath right now. I would use the $50 to buy those last little pretties!

  61. LauriHickman says

    I could really use any help I can get with fixing up my living room (currently in the works) and my basement (plans to convert to an office this summer)!

  76. Brooke R says

    I would love to spruce up our living room. My built-ins could really use some new accessories.

  78. Connie Haack says

    We are painting our kitchen and will need a new throw rug and curtains to go with the new color and few accessories.

  94. Lillian says

    I would love to update our living room over ten years and after the birth of two toddler, it has seen better days.

  98. Amy says

    Well…there are many spaces in my home in need of a fresh look, but like you I would change up my entry way a bit and my stairwell. I’ve wanted to do the moulded frames on my stairs for over a year now, and that project is still on the back burner. The entry way? Well let’s jus say it’s small and not very inviting right now.

  100. Fadja says

    I could use the Amex gift card for some decorations in my master bedroom. The room is pretty plain right now.

  101. DEANNA R says

    I would love to spruce up our master bedroom. It seems to have become the place where all things that don’t have a home end up….ughhhhh!!
    Would love to win:-)

  108. Lacey says

    I would love to spruce up my entryway. In my last house, the downstairs was one giant open room. While my new home has an open kitchen/living/dining room, it has a giant entryway. I now have WALLS to decorate & I am stumped!

  109. Lacey says

    I am building my dream home. I work from home in a fairly high stress job & my new office will also be in my master bedroom. We have an awesome view of some trees so I would love to take advantage of the view & create a peaceful retreat/workspace.

  110. Katherinej says

    I’d love to freshen up my bookcases. They are those old, rounded, oak, office-unit type ones ~ straight from the ’80’s.
    Beautiful inventory to choose from. One could go berserk!

  118. Ashley Hatten says

    I really need to spruce my son’s bedroom up with new bed linens thank you!

    I would love to spruce-up my front room. It has sat empty since we moved in to our house, and is ready for some furniture and decor.

  131. KittenWithAWhiplash says

    My whole apartment needs work, as I haven’t done any decorating for a couple years. I think tho that the bedroom is the place to start, it would be nice to wake up in a beautiful room every day. Thanks for the great giveaway.

  136. Rondell says

    My entryway is the place in my home I’d love to fix up, maybe instead of three small mirrors just one bigger one would be better!

  137. Jennifer Marie says

    I would love to spruce up my living room with some new picture frames so I can put up pictures of my kids!

  142. Cassie says

    My master bedroom has had 5 paint sample colors on the walls for about 6 months… I spent all my budgeted ‘paint money’ on stinking samples! My husband would be very grateful :)

  143. Brenda (aka centralNYscrapper) says

    I’d like to spruce up my basement. When we moved here the floors were just left concrete. Some of the walls are concrete and others need sheetrock – you can see the studs, wiring and insulation. We’d like to make it a space were we can watch movies and entertain.

  147. gina says

    I’d like to spruce up my living room. I just moved into a new home and have an old microfiber couch that is on its last leg.

    I would love to update my bedroom! Apartment Guide has some pretty good ideas. Hmmmm….what to do, what to do?

  175. Angie M says

    I would love to spruce up my office. I finally got all the paper and junk put away, but the builder tan walls and furniture configuration are not doing it for me. It is the smallest room in the house, of course and two walls have giant windows.

  176. Angela L says

    I am pulling together ideas for our master bedroom and bath and would love some help in getting started!

  178. Johanna says

    We just purchased 2 new pieces for our family room and bedroom that have shelving and they are in need of some accessories badly!

  185. Lori says

    We have a whole list of to-do projects we hope to accomplish on our home this year, but first is the master bedroom. Really excited to start painting!

  190. Angie says

    I just moved into a new apartment. I’d like to spruce up my dining area, since it’s the first thing folks see when they walk in my door. And, it’s so boooooooring right now. :)

    Even so, just as almost everything excellent, the purchase of a made use of does have its disadvantages.
    The foremost and most blatant problem can it be should have recently been in truth
    utilized. Including everything, using use comes: scores,
    dents and dings, releases, holes, spillages, far more. Even going
    to the following there is a good side, not less than if you do not possess
    a product paddling brand-new Caravan you will be lower the probability that to weep above the next spot a person cause to your own Airstream.

    They may have slow or unreliable connections, including, in extreme cases,
    dialup. What type of readers would benefit from reading a person’s article. Such seminars are held for several days which may cost you as low as $200 and sometimes it can be as high as $500.

  205. search engine says

    I think everything said was very reasonable. However, what about this?
    what if you added a little content? I mean, I don’t want to tell
    you how to run your website, however suppose you added something to possibly get folk’s attention?
    I mean New Year, New Style: AMEX Gift Card Giveaway from Apartment Guide!
    – Decorchick! is kinda plain. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they
    create article headlines to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a related
    pic or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
