This is a quick reminder to enter this week’s giveaway. Grosse Pointe’s Village Palm, a shop dedicated to all things Lilly Pulitzerhas generously donated this trio of hostess gifts – the perfect way to say Thank you after a stay at a friend’s beach house.
To enter, just leave a comment here and tell us your favorite Preppy name. Mine is Tucky. So far, my favorite among the entrants is Cricket. To read all the details, read the first post here. The contest ends at the end of the day tomorrow. The winner will be announced on Friday.
Now I’m off to the tennis club with Trip, Cricket and Buffy, dahlings.
Design Hole Giveaway
Earlier this week I suggested 8 great hostess gifts for a stay at a beach house. Here’s an opportunity to win another great gift set to present to your hostess (or keep for yourself). 
Nothing says Palm Beach better than Lilly Pulitzer. This set includes a picture frame, note cards and paper hand towels for the powder room. Thanks go to Village Palm, located here in Grosse Pointe (otherwise known as Preppy Headquarters).
To win this giveaway, simply leave a comment here with your official Prepster name. For example, I’m Jennifer. But if I were a total prepster, my name would be Tuckie.
The contest runs for a week and ends on July 16th. The winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Friday, July 17th. You must live in the contiguous US. My relatives and anyone who has won a prize from Design Hole in the last 6 months are not eligible.
I’ll post reminders throughout the week. But why wait? Enter now!
Design Hole Contest: and the Domino decorating book goes to….
First, I’d like to thank everyone who entered for sharing their decorating ideas with the rest of us. There were some useful tips in there, which clearly indicates that there is an interior designer in all of us.
And now, without further ado, the grand prize winner of the Domino book, plus a Design Hole tee shirt is…
Elisa!
Elisa is a Brit living in Canada. She writes a blog called Fortune Cookie Monster. Elisa’s decorating tip is to cover your ugly brick fireplace with metal. Elisa, send me a photo!
The runners up, and winners of Design Hole tee shirts are….
Vitania, Jennifer C., and Lisa
Vitania follows the “rule of two”. Use at least two of the major colors in your room to create balance. Her blog, Verdigris, is all about style. Jennifer C. likes to repurpose things and especially likes her huge glass jars filled with wine corks. Lisa loves to decorate with plants and has at least one in every room of her home.
Congratulations to the winners. I’ll email you today for your addresses and have your prizes in the mail and on their way. Yay!
Don’t stop thinking about your favorite ways to decorate. Send me photos of your favorite rooms and favorite projects. Before and afters are especially welcome.
One thing I’ve learned is that everyone has style if they take the time to look for it.
Day off at Design Hole
Trust me, there is never a day off at my house. I’m taking a day to take care of a bunch of things.
