Designer Nate Berkus!
Yes, it is true. As some of you might have picked up by now, I spent an evening this week hanging out with interior decorating celebrity Nate Berkus. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. Hate me. We painted furniture side by side. We hung out in a loft in SoHo. We laughed at the same jokes. I might have laughed REALLY loud cause I am all awkward like that.
Since when does someone like me hang out with a famous celebrity designer in a loft in SoHo? Only in blogland do those kinds of things happen, I tell ya. I had to pinch myself. But, never the less, I was so excited to be included!
I was invited by Lowe’s along with Valspar Paint (THANK YOU SO MUCH!) to fly to New York, stay at a hotel in Tribeca, and spend an evening trying out paint with Nate in Soho. Yeah. That doesn’t happen every day. Of course I said YES, PLEASE!
Centsational Girl & The Inspired Room
I was especially thrilled to find out of only 30 bloggers included in this event, my pal Kate from Centsational Girl was also on this trip! I love getting to hang out with a blogging friend in real life.
Kate and I met up in the lobby of our hotel and walked in our high heels to the unmarked loft overlooking Soho. It was a gorgeous day!
Before we knew it, we were sitting on the floor in our white dresses right next to Nate, trying win a paint competition. We got so into the competition we didn’t even notice (too much) that Nate was sitting right next to us on the floor, or think about how at any moment we could turn around and ask him if we could borrow his paint brush or get his design advice. Well, I did kind of think about borrowing his paint brush. But mostly we were obsessed with winning this competition.
This was pretty much a dream for DIY & Design bloggers.
And, here was our table. Disclaimer: We only had 30 minutes to paint. It was fairly stressful. I’ll admit, the design, most of the painting and pretty much all of the taping off of the chevron pattern was done by Kate. I can’t take much credit. I held the paint can, ran around finding paint brushes, snapped pictures of Nate, and tried to avoid getting paint on myself or my white dress.
Remember, I hate painting, so I was pleased to have Kate on my team. It worked out well for me.
Here is Nate telling Kate she needs to listen to me next time and paint the hinges and the knob, I tried to tell her that to no avail. Thank you Nate. Nevertheless, he gave us the creativity award and we took home two $250 Lowe’s cards. Yay us!
As soon as Nate was done talking, Kate promptly ran over and painted the hinges and the knobs. Ha. Much better.
During Nate’s presentation about paint, I took a little video for you! See? I’m always thinking of you. Here is Nate standing right in front of me (i die) talking about his favorite neutral paint color.
Did you hear what Nate said in the video? Gray walls, white trim and black doors make him happy. He likes that combination with pops of color. He would be pretty happy in my living room and dining room! YAY!
During the event we were able to try out Valspar Signature Colors paint, which by the way is the same paint I used on my blue table last summer!
You can see by the fact that I already have used this paint that I really do like it! The colors are so pretty!!!
This paint covered those dark stripes in one coat! And look at how pretty Kate looks. She should be a painting spokesmodel.
We also learned about Allen & Roth paint and home decor line at Lowe’s.
We had a fabulous time both at the event and having margaritas and Mexican food afterward. Kate and I even talked at dinner about how much we both love you all. We did! Really. And it wasn’t even just because of the margaritas. We do love you.
And because we love you and wish you could have all been there with us, we are giving away our winning Lowe’s gift cards!
One $250 Lowe’s gift card will be given away on The Inspired Room, and another over at Centsational Girl!

SOOO jealous- that is an awesome trip. Love all of it. Glad you were able to be chosen for it.
Would love to with this! I’ve got lots of painting to do and need to organize my garage this spring, so I’m crossing my fingers :)
How exciting….lots of projects going on around my house….what a great giveaway!
LIked you on FB
So jealous! Love Nate!!
Sounds like so much fun! Already thinking about what I could do with $250 from Lowe’s! :)
OMG! You actually touched nate!? How did you not start forgetting how to talk, etc.? It looks like you had a great trip!!
can’t believe you guys painted looking all cute!!
I always spend way too much money at Lowe’s, especially in the spring. I would love to win the gift card!
You guys did look so cute in your “painting” clothes! I have some painting to be done and I guarantee you I won’t be looking half that cute.
Oh how I would love to win this giveaway so I don’t have to stare at my all white walled house…or so that I could pick up the tiles for my kitchen that I’ve been lusting over!
Looks like you had a great time! And how sweet of you to give away your gift card. I’m working on decorating a new nursery for our upcoming baby girl–I’d love to put the gift car to use for you. :-)
Sounds like a fun time. Thanks for the chance to win!
Amazing trip! Amazing giveaway! Would be verrry handy since we are closing on our first house in a few weeks!
Great post! I believe Lowes has really stepped it up with that line of paint. I’ve used the exterior as well and it completely coats even old wood in one coat. I could load up with some lowes cash!
So exciting! I loved your painting!
very nice job, soo excited for you guys
What an amazing experience! Not at all like you saw him walking down the street but to actually be in a “paint off” against him! Ha Ha
Exciting!! Love LOWES! Love their lighting, paint, etc. Def. my fav. home improvement store :)
I tweeted about your give away! Thanks again!

I enjoy your blog so much! It’s in my top 5. Love your combination of making your home welcoming for friends and family – a very Christian thing to do. I did the Facebook thing!

So fun to read about your time with Nate! I went and liked you on FB. I would use the gift card to finish off my husband’s home office!

Leah Marie recently posted..Helpful How-To- Prepping for a Long Run
Well its spring and many garage sales are popping up! I already scored me several sweet things for my foyer, dinning room, and craft room. so excited to sand, prime, paint etc. to make them so pretty! The Lowes card would be a wonderful way help me do that!
So cool that you got to meet Nate!
Nate’s such a great designer. What a priviledge to get to spend the day learning his tricks of the trade! How exciting!!
How much fun was that?! Except for the fact that no one dressed appropriately. You all, including Nate, must be neat painters.
I feel so “in” right now as I just purchased a quart of Valspar paint at Lowe’s last night. “Heavenly Day” satin, exterior to be exact. It’s for the little bit of ceiling under the deck roof. I’ve heard that bees won’t build nests there if the roof is painted blue because it confuses them into thinking they are out under the great blue sky.
It’s been fun commenting here. As you probably know, there’s no commenting elsewhere in Blogdom. Makes one think about getting her own domain and quick.
Congrats on your win!

Not the roof, the ceiling under the roof, but then you knew that. Gheesh. Can’t think this morning.

What a fun adventure, I’m so envious!
Yay! I could definitely pick up some Valspar spray paint to liven up the old wicker loveseats on the patio! We’ve started our first vegetable garden, too, and it could use some help!
I need another door, so this would come in handy!
How cute is that Nate!?
Isn’t blogging great!? What a fun opportunity, thanks for sharing the chance for the gift card:>)

What an exciting give-away! Oh the things I could do!
oooh….lowes..pick me!
Looks like you had a great time! I can’t wait to get my dining room painted!
Oh! Winning this would be awesome! When my daughter got married, we tore out a wall between the living room and a bedroom to make a bigger living space – now I’m trying to figure out how to paint and decorate the space!
Love all the beautiful bright colors! How generous of you to offer your gift card!

Luv ur blog! I’m getting ready to paint practically the whole inside of my house. Pick me!
That looked like so much fun! I have used Valspar glaze but never theri paint. I will ahve to give it a try.
Thanks
I would FINISH painting my dining room (yes, I ran out of paint and never finished) and also put frames around my 2 generic bathroom mirrors–I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time, too! THANKS!
Wow, Melissa…that looks like a great event. Oh to be a fly on the wall while you were trying not to get paint on your dress.
What a fun time! Lowe’s rocks and I really like Valspar, although I’ve only tried it once and it was in white (boring).
Wow $250 would go so far in my house and I agree with Nate a fresh coat of paint changes everything. My oldest has just moved out and quickly before my husband can take over the space as his second office I have to get that room re-done into a nice guest room. Lowes has absolutely everthing i need to complete the job. Thanks for re-gifting!
One coat to paint over an ugly, dark wall…sounds great!
Already like you on FB

Thank you for the chance to win-
Ooh…what a fun giveaway! I would definitely spend this gift card in the trim department! Board and batten, crown molding, frames for our boring bathroom mirrors…the possibilities are endless! Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thanks!
Paint! We’re renters, but we have one HIDEOUS peach and purple bathroom (yikes!) which I’m trying to get our landlord to agree to let us paint and do a mini reno on.
Some high-quality products like a Valspar paint in a luxuriously muted tone might be just the thing to sway him. If I win, expect my before and after photos!
I can see why Kate didn’t paint the hinges – they needed something… else? Painting them the colors they are up against is a good way to camouflage them, but I could see something darker, or a metallic silver finish bringing more pizzazz to your funky piece.
Oh man I’m so jealous I love Nate, watch him everyday. Well I need that $250 (like everyone else). I’m starting to redo my kitchen/dining room so I need everything include paint. We love Valspar … just finished painting all the other rooms with it. Please throw me into the pot. Thanks.

You are a lucky duck- I LOVE Nate! I’ve been contemplating gray for my dining room for sometime now, with pops of yellow and maybe one other color. This would be outside my comfort zone but I think I am going to go for it soon! That $250 would sure come in handy to make-over my dining room.
You girls are living the life!! Hope this contest is open to Canada…
wow what a great time and wonderful opportunity!!!! Looks like such fun and that Nate sure is a cutie!! We are re-doing our front and back porches and this gift card would be fun to use to add the little extra’s, like drop cloth curtains for the front porch!! Thanks for being willing to share. :]

Thank you so much for doing this! I could absolutely use a lowes gift card to finish up a couple of projects in our house right now!
Love all the bright colors! that looks like it was so much fun!
Thanks so much for the giveaway. I could totally use this on a cabinet that I got that needs to be painted. It is my first attempt at painting furniture and I am so excited b/c it is such a nice old piece.
Wow! What an amazing experience! Looks like you had a really fun time with Nate.

With a 250.00 Lowe’s gift card I’d get tile for my kitchen backsplash!

Okay, Nate aside (if that’s even possible), I loved seeing the coverage of the paint over the b/w zig-zags! Yeah, I own my DIY nerdiness, but coverage is soooo important when you find yourself painting as often as I do. Look out dresser, if I win you’re going Navy Blue!
Your blog is AWESOME…I’m about 6 months new to becoming addicted to blogs…such wonderful ideas..and yours rocks !! My husband and I are headed to NYC on the 25th.. any suggestions of must see-creative places to visit?
Loved that green paint color – it’s really similar to my kitchen color. I agree that the Valspar Hi-Def paint is fabulous!! And I’m really liking the neutral grays…thinking of making some changes around my oh-so-colorful home.
Oh what I would do for this gift card! With 2 little boys on the move, it seems everyday we find something else that they’ve broken. Just last night one of them broke a door handle. So that would be first on my list, followed closely by new paint for my kitchen cabinets and a new front door – well at least it would take a small chunk out of that expense!
My house would benefit SO much from this. It thanks you.
It looks like you had so much fun!!! I’d love to win to redo my bedroom. It needs it sooo bad. Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for including the picture with the black and white stripes being covered up – I never believe that paint can actually cover those in one coat but now I have proof!
I shared the giveaway on my FB! Thanks for all the beautiful & inspiring ideas you share!
That $250 gift card would like about 2 seconds in my hands. So many things to do — so little time and money to do it.
Inspired to do some painting!
Ohhh…you lucky duck!
How neat! I wish they would have given you more time to brainstorm and execute your project that day. I don’t like the way TV shows are compressing everything into “faster, faster, now, now!” Anyway, thanks for offering up your gift card. I can certainly put it to good use at my house!

I love your blog…I am addicted to blogs, as of 6 months ago. My husband and I are headed to NYC on the 25th, do you have any suggestions of must see creative places to visit?
I love reading your blog emails every morning! you have such wonderful ideas!
so exciting! congrats. I would love to win the gift card :)
I shared the link on facebook!! Thanks again
I need to redo my boys rooms to transform it from a little boy room to a big kid room!
How exciting for you to be a part of this project. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats!!! Looks like much fun! And I agree, the painted hinges and know look fabulous! ;)
I like you on facebook
Love, love these ideas.
We have so many projects at our house that we could use a gift card to help us complete (or at least get a little bit more done). Kitchen needs some major TLC! Master bath needs country ugly wallpaper removed and some new fixtures! Glad you had such a fun time in NYC.
Tweeted too! ;)

I’m not surprised you 2 got picked to be there. You’re awesome! I’m using Valspar paint to paint over the red in my living room and it’s incredible. Guess what color? Gray! I feel so “in” right now. What a great giveaway and it would help me finish things up and move onto another room soon. I was just telling my friends last night that I love this paint more than any other paint I’ve ever used.

YAY! I hope I win!
I would update my patio! Currently we have a rickety table and four plastic chairs and a plastic “armoire” for storage. It needs to be lovely-fied so my husband can relax and sit comfortably as he has serious health issues – cancer that won’t go away. When the kids visit we all enjoy eating alfresco together.
I LOVE Nate! I am so jealous! :)
thanks for offering this giveaway! could definitely use help purchasing paint for all the white walls in my new townhouse!

Heather recently posted..Most Awesome Bachelor Pad
My whole 1st floor is “builder beige” and needs COLOR! The guest 1/2 bath also needs a total new look (beadbord or board & batten & new paint, build new vanity, tile floor). Kitchen cabinets need to change to white from standard builder grade oak. $250 would go a long way to making any of these happen!
I would paint my kitchen cabinets….ummm I think.

Jana recently posted..A New Use For Ducks
I love Lowes and would spend all $250 on redoing my master bath. It needs tile, lighting, new faucets, etc. Thanks!
Looked like fun in NY. This giftcard would help me put some new tile floors, beadboard and board and batten in my bathrooms.
If I won the $250 gift card, first I would redo my dining table since its looks like a picnic table by retaining it, tiling the top so I don’t have to use a table cloth(i dislike them) and then would add cushion and fabric to the top of the benches. Next I have to end tables that I’ve found at odds and end places and would strip them, and end up painting them a gray or violet color with an elegant pattern on them. Then I would uses matching hardware to make them look like they belong together so my husband and I would have nightstands for out bedroom. Since currently our bed is only on rails I would then make a fabric headboard and make it extremely long in order to add height to our room. I’m still looking for a dresser to redo but eventually when i’ve found the perfect one that would be redone as well. After the necessities were finished, I’d like to father material to build my son a little school desk so, he has a place to do little activities when he is down stairs and we are cooking and need to be able to see him.
luv lowes! valspar is my new bff, lol
We’re putting our house up for sale so $250 would buy a lot of paint!
I would have loved to be in your shoes meeting Nate! He is so amazing. This gift card would help me do a lot to my majorly outdated kitchen!!
I liked you on FB. Great giveaway!

I love Lowe’s! I would use the gift card to buy paint for my bedroom and living room, which I’m in the process of re-decorating. Then I’d use the rest for flowers for my back porch and a screen door so I could keep my door open to look at those flowers!
Looks like you had a fabulous time! Gray is also my favorite neutral these days – with lots of white and some black for punch. Now I just need the color to add to it.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us, Melissa.

I am beyond envious of your trip to NY. What a cute table you guys painted! Can you tell us what the paint colors are called or is the Inspired Brand a small enough collection for us to be able to guess?
Ooh, that would be a dream! I would stock up on primer, paints and finishes for all the projects I hope to refinish (clear) out of my garage and into my home. :) And accent with beautiful plants to add to a couple more planters in my front yard. (I LOVE all the gorgeous color) Oh, and of course, I’ll need a few extra sand paper sheets for my sander because I will burn through at least 2 of them to complete all the projects I do have. :) Thanks, Melissa!
And I “liked” you on Facebook.

Oh how fun! I know the chances of me winning are SO slim, but I totally want to! My husband and I are in ministry and we’re moving to an inner city neighborhood for a church plant.

I love your site and would love to freshen my house with Valspar paint!! I have furniture, walls and cabinets that all need paint!!!

Hoping for some baby news in the very near future! With that, I’d love to use the gift card and Lowes Valspar paint to elevate two drab old wood dressers to fresh and fabulous! We hope to use these new peices as a wardrobe and change table for our nursery. Can’t wait to dive into this project!
I can think of a lot of projects. I’d paint my kids’ rooms as well as a bunch of furniture that needs sprucing up. Thanks!
looks like such a fun day! inspires me of what i would do with a lowe’s gift card!
Nate Berkus….you lucky gal! “Liked” your FB page, can’t wait to receive your inspired posts! Love your blog too. Thank you for the generous giveaway.
$250 at lowes would do a heck of a job of getting the nursery finished for these twin ladies I am 29 weeks pregnant with!
I could do a lot of damage with $250 from Lowe’s. Would have more trouble deciding where to start, house or garden.
I would love a chance to win! Thanks for passing this giftcard on!
Thanks for the giveaway and great blog!
I’d buy paint!

That looks like a great trip! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I just bought a new house 1 week ago. What wouldn’t I use the card for? =)
I’ll be tackling the master bedroom soon. Everything (walls, ceiling, trim) is the same color. There is no bedroom door. There are no window treatments (not even blinds). And the light fixture is super basic and cheap. A second floor bedroom in Austin, TX really needs a ceiling fan.
Oh, this is so exciting! I am happy for you– what FUN!!!

We moved into our house about a year and a half ago … it is still all the dreary paint colors that someone else picked out. I need this house to feel like it’s mine so I would spend every penny on getting it painted and turning it into brighter, much more fun home!
I could so use the 250 gc to lowes. First I’d buy some tile to tile over the brick on my fireplace in my den. then some paint for my $18 goodwill dresser that will be an entertainment center!

Lucky you! What great fun you must have had at the Lowe’s event. Being in the same room with all those beautiful paint colors AND Nate… heavenly! ;)
I love Lowe’s and Valspar paint! Nineteen months ago, my hubby and I bought a run-down 1978 house on a 30 acre horse farm and since then, I think we’ve spent a bazillion dollars at Lowe’s fixing the place up. I even bought all my new kitchen appliances and washer/dryer from Lowe’s. I’ve used Valspar paint exclusively inside and out but there’s still painting to do, not to mention a long list of unfinished projects on the house and barns. We could also use some landscaping plants and patio pavers. Winning a gift card would be an awesome help in crossing off some of those projects on the “To Do” list! Thank you so much for the opportunity, Melissa!

What I’d do with a giftcard? I’d use it to paint my little sister’s ROOM! We created a little “Tangled/Princess” room for her, but the walls are bare. We just used spare construction paper to decorate it with flowers and birds.
Didn’t have paint to paint it. It’s just plaster right now, leftover from the 70′s. We bought the house a while ago, ripped off the psychedelic stripped wallpaper, and it’s just a crusty plaster now. Bleh.

Just bought a new house and used the great Valspar paints from Lowe’s! So much to do yet in our new house and Lowe’s is my new favorite store! Thanks Melissa for your great blog…it’s so much fun, I’ve shared it with my two daughters-in-law to be! :) Have a great day!
Would this Valspar paint cover all the crayon drawings on my *white* walls in one coat too? I would paint my daughters’ room. I want to do it in green and then tape out a large diamond lattice and paint a lighter green on top, finished off with hand painted flowers in the center of some (all?) of the diamonds. What do you think?
Wow I bet you had a great time! I have a couple of painting projects and could really use the gift card from Lowes! Pick me! Choose me!
Love the blues!
We are going to be painting 4 rooms in our house this summer-well, we hired someone to do it and I will have to check out this paint! I love Nate, thank you for sharing! Wow, what an awesome experience!
totally already like you on facebook. :)
I like you on Facebook. :D
What a generous thing for you and Kate to do!! There’s so much I could do with $250. You girls rock!
I am totally envious you got to hang with the Berk! Love the post and I totally agree with you about painting your hinges/knobs :)
Hope I win this!
also, how AMAZING is it that you got to hang with Nate Berkus! Not to mention getting to hang with a blog-friend! I can’t wait to actually meet some of my blogger friends in person!!! :) I’m still a newby blogger. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

Love your blog! We just bought a 1960′s ranch style house- it definitely needs some work! Can’t wait to make it our own special place and some freebies from Lowes wouldn’t hurt a bit :)
I tweeted and put on facebook-you just can’t get too much publicity, now can we?
I would use it for paint and cabinet supplies to overhaul my kitchen. I would love to have white upper cabinets and black bottom. With new hardware.
oh the things I could do with $250 from Lowes – I’ve been there 4 times in like the last week and a half. It’s very convenient to live right around the corner from one ;o)

Looks like you had a lot of fun! All that pretty paint makes me happy. :)
I don’t have Facebook, but I’m hoping I can join in anyway…I’m getting married in October, moving into a new place, and I’m sure we’ll be needing paint and such. This would be such a blessing!

Okay, so happy for you for this wonderful opportunity–congrats. I LOVE paint, too. I hope someday to have time and energy to share some of my painting and “repurposing” projects with you. Keep up the “inspiring” work.

I hope I win! We just got an offer accepted on a new house and we won’t have a lot of extra money to do the little cosmetic changes that need to be done (and for which I will always refer to your page for inspiration!)
Great post! It looks like you had so much fun!
This is great! I am buying a log home that has one room with ‘drywall walls’; my daughter’s room and she wants a sky blue bedroom. She has cancer (in remission!) and I want a low VOC paint, and I ws hoping for a ‘paint-primer-in-one’ deal. I was researching and not having much luck. Then I read an article about Nate speaking for Valspar with is low VOC and readily available at Lowe’s. Thank you Nate, Valspar, Lowe’s and the Inspired Room. Glad you had an awesome trip to NYC!!!
“Liked” you on FB! :)

Great pictures!! And brave brave woman wearing white to a painting event!! Well behaved women rarely make history! :)
Would love to win the GC… my girls are dreaming of a zillion shades of purle in their bathroom. I’m dreaming of crisp white… maybe we could work out the details with a GC from Lowes!
Great giveaway. I would use the gift card to buy paint and materials to add board and batten to my bedroom
OOOHHHH! My list is very long. Our house is on the market and I need it to sell fast. I need some Valspar paint to use for touch up paint and to neutralize a few rooms (the lime green one in particular). I need fixtures for 2 of 3 bathrooms….the brass ones are, well, brass! I need a few boards for the deck (puppy chewed boards do not look good), wood filler to fix the inside puppy chewed baseboards, kind of need new carpet for the kids’ rooms, oh, and more Valspar paint to repaint the ugly, icky brown stained front door. That should get me started!
Oh, that sounds like the most fun ever!! I love to paint so I would be in my element. Your project turned out great – congrats on the award.
I am going to link the giveaway on Twitter right now. :)

I so enjoy living through your journeys….I homeschool my children, so I see my home day in and day out….what a wonderful inspiration you are!
I would so love to have some extra money from Lowe’s since we are moving in 2 months….we already go to Lowe’s for our needs….but with some extra moolah…I might try even more wonderful colors….please, please, please :)
Found you on Facebook about 6 months ago and I’m NEVER letting go. I enjoy your site tremendously!!!
We are about to start a fairly large remodel of our condo, and part of this will include painting all of the walls. This whole “one coat” trick that the Valspar Hi Def paint is claiming to accomplish would be perfect since some of our walls are garnet red. We’re also painting our black kitchen cabinets white so this paint would be perfect for that too! Oh, I hope I win!
What a fun night!! I have to say, I’m envious! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the opportunity to be able to finally paint my cream walls in our house! I LOVE color but just haven’t wanted to take the time to paint but a gift card sure could motivate me quickly!!
We are moving in 2 weeks–I could totally use this!
Would LOVE to win a $250 Lowe’s gift card. I have so many projects that it would be useful on! Thanks!
I “liked” your Facebook page! About time, huh?

I love, love, love me some Valspar paint!!! Coverage is great and it goes on so smooth.
What fun!!! We are starting to build our new home, so I’ll have lots of fun things to make good use of the gift card!! Thank you for the giveaway and sharing your amazing NYC experience.

I want the gift card! Your blog has me inspired to do some great DIY!
what a fun event! i can’t believe how well that paint covers those stripes
I love reading your blog!! My fiance and I just bought a house in February and we have been having a blast remodeling it! That lowe’s gift card sure would come in handy with picking out countertops to go in our kitchen!! :)
Liked you on Facebook, and love your blog! 250 at Lowes would go a long way towards some great paint to make our apt feel more like home and give us a start on all those great Ana White projects we are dying to start!
I liked you on FB and linked the giveaway on twitter!!
I would love to win a Lowes gift card! How generous!
250$ gift card would help me take many of my projects off the shelf. I would love to use it for crown molding, peel and stick wood tiles in the first kitchen and living room.
Looks like you guys had so much fun!
I just love different colors in a home! Congrats on being invited to the event! How fun!
Love your blog visit all the time just starting my DIYing and hoping for the best..I am excited!
first thing i’d do is spruce up the back yard with some colorful flowers and maybe get that outdoor dining set i’ve been wanting! kristinmik at gmail
I am so jealous! :) How cool! Please enter me in the drawing.
I love Lowe’s and Valspar too. How fun for you two to go to this event and meet Nate! New to your blog, excited to check it out!
What an amazing opportunity you had to meet Nate! Thank you for the giveaway! :)
I just bought six amazing pieces of furniture at yard sales last weekend…the $250 gift card would buy all the supplies needed to make the pieces works of art! :)
I would LOVE to win this!! Valspar is the only paint that I enjoy using. Their colors are the best and coverage is amazing! I still have MANY rooms to paint in my new house and could really use this gift card!
I would love the chance to save some money on our big hall bath remodel this summer–our old house and old bathroom needs a complete remodel!!
I just love you on fb!! no like! love
Paint, paint and more paint. That’s what I’d do with $250. Much-needed paint!
I liked you on FB and linked the web site. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m a new follower of your blog and a relatively new blogger. I’m so inspired by your inspirations :) I’m a single mom of 2 teenage girls with no time (anymore) to look through magazines. Getting to read blogs is such a pleasure and inspiration.
$250 to Lowes would go a LONG way in our new and colorless house!
I would love to redo my day care kids room in my house! They are a wee bit hard on paint and the walls!
I linked to this on FB
Would LOVE this to help me get started on my basement remodel!
I absolutely LOVE Nate!!! Now I will be honest and say I am addicted to Behr paint and primer in one. I have never tried the Valspar. If I win this I would definately take the opportunity to try Valspar as I have some serious painting to take care of! ;) Lucky you and how brave you are painting while looking so nice and dressy. ;)
~Sarah~
Oh, my…oh, my…getting to really meet Nate!! I am old enough to be his Mom (or maybe Grand Mom!) but he is the cutest thing and so talented!! Have watched his show and watched him on Oprah, as well……and you got to be right there with him the entire day!!! Wow wow wow…
We are much like you in a way that our house has been on the market forever…things need to be done in it and sadly we do not have the funds…so the gift card would be a great help and besides that it is from Lowes…..yay! love Lowes…
And, dear Melissa..I want you to know how much I look forward each day to reading your mail that comes right to me…you are such a sweetie!

Love, love, love your blog! So INSPIRING!
Squee! I’m so happy for you! I love Valspar paint, too. I tried another store brand at first in our house, but I went back to Valspar; it’s better.

Seeing as I just spent $200 at Lowes yesterday, this post comes too late for me! However, I just picked up an awesome old dresser that needs some work. With that much money, I would get some brass cleaner, some stripping agent, a nice stain, and some polyurethane to seal that baby.
Thanks!
You are so LUCKY! I love Nate Berkus. My son even drew a picture of me watching the Nate Berkus show on his Mother’s Day card, which the whole family thought was hysterically funny.
Oh, you are so lucky! I love Nate. He’s my adult crush. I would love to win the Lowe’s g.c. Please pick me! Thanks for the chance!

I would love this! It’s a great givaway! It seems like all of our money is going to lowe’s these days :)
I love Lowes! There are so many things I could use the giftcard for! We rent and my landlord doesn’t do anything to the property. We have already done so much to make it feel more like home but many other things (like the yard) that are just too costly for us to put our own money into.
I tweeted about it too! @kblesher!

I’ve used different types of paints but I love Valspar! Just painted my powder room with it and it looks great!
I would LOVE a gift card to lowes! I am in the process of building a home and $250 would really help out right now : )
We are looking for an inspiration for our newest addition’s nursery (which is a corner of our room)! This would be awesome!
Let me count the ways I could use a Lowes gift card. :)
I just found your blog and could really use the $250 at Lowes. I have a dresser, screen, desk and shelf that all need to be scraped, sanded, painted and sealed. And I’m also very jealous of your fab trip!
I also posted a link to the giveaway on facebook, liked you on fb and follow you on twitter.

I love LOWES! I could use the card to re-do my stairs :)
Oh, how I’d love to win! There are so many things I could use a gift card to Lowe’s for, but I’d really like to put it toward a new stove!
Oh, Melissa! That is SO cool!
And “I might have laughed REALLY loud cause I am all awkward like that.”….that makes me love you even more! :)

I just liked you on Facebook, you have another fan. I read Centsational Girls blog and am so glad l found you there!
It’s really nice that you both want to share your gift cards with us. If l were to win l would paint my attached garage walls and floors. We have a very small cozy, but somewhat cramped home. When our children and grand children come to visit we lack entertaining space. I would like to use my garage space to perhaps add a ping pong table, my hubby’s 50 year old train set and a small table for puzzles and games. My imagination runs wild at all the possibilities this extra space could bring. Thank you again, Gail
Ooh. I’ve come from centsational girl for a second chance at that $250.00 gift card. My first purchase would be a brad nail gun so that I can batty with board & batten in my home. Second priority is growing up my son’s room — he enters high school in the fall and it’s overdue for serious update.
I mentioned this on FB :)
Ohhhhhh forget the paint.. just sent me Nate! I think He will like my gray walls ;)

How sweet of you girls to give away your prizes! We are building a house so the gift card would be wonderful!
I would buy a new rug for my patio!!
I am newly divorced and any extra money goes to Home Depot / Lowes for repair materials for this house. My ex did ZERO maintenance or repair for about the last 4 years so I’ve got my work cut out for me.
Oh, I am so glad for you! What FUN that must have been!! And you are so sweet to give away your gift card – I have lots of painting and gardening to do this summer, so I hope I win!
I would probably replace the fluorescent light fixture in the kitchen and replace some old linoleum floors! :)
I’d use the $250 to start on a nursery – paint, organization and some DIY furniture projects!
Woo-hoo! Would love to win!

HI, Melissa! You lucky girls, you. Of course, I’d love to win this. I have some projects that really need doing.
This giveaway would be awesome for us, we are getting ready to put an addition to our house. Two bedrooms and a laundry room, we’re also knocking down some walls to open up the kitchen. Very exciting! I also posted a link on my facebook. Thank you!
I would use it to buy some wood for the headboard I’ve been putting off and to buy some great pots and flowers for summer.
Love Lowe’s – it’s a guilty pleasure for me!
Please enter me in the contest~I am would use the gift card to help me finish my screened backporch. Thank you!
Love the paint choices! What a fun trip!!

Awesome! I would love to win, I’m knee deep in painting and sprucing up my new (to me) house!
I am so happy that you got to go hang with Nate! I was just thinking the other day, “I wonder if Nate will discover Melissa someday and invite her to be on the show?” I think this is just as cool! Yay!
Oh, what I could do with a Lowe’s gift card! I am happy I stumbled upon your blog. Thanks for the chance!
What a fun trip!!! :)

We just totally remodeled our home in October and I’d LOVE to use the gift card to Lowe’s to help finish all the “little things” that we need to complete!

Holy Cow! Nate and $250!! Life is good, isn’t it?
What a dreamy adventure!!
I do believe I could spend that in about 42 seconds! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this fun adventure. I would have been in awe of Nate as well. I am trying to create a ‘space’ to make my own to do crafts, projects and so on. I am in need of getting it framed out and then hope to paint it in some fun colors so the Gift Card would be a blessing. Thanks for all the photos as well!
Liked ya on FB and just tweeted the contest. Thanks!
Would love to win this! We are expecting our first child in July and this would be so perfect!

I would love this for our new house – we are moving soon! Cool post!
I love Nate and how fun for you. My husband hangs wallpaper and of course I never get things done in MY house. Would love to win, maybe I could get him to paint in our house during a weekend.
Sounds like fun, and the colors look wonderful too!
Love all the ideas you give me and would love to be able to transfer them to my house with that giftcard!!
This would be great for my husband and I, and the new house we’re buying… Well, new to us.

I love Nate’s color palette of gray walls/white trim/black doors with pops of color. The more I think about it, the more I like the concept.

Wow, I would love to win this I’d give it to my parents who are moving into their new house in a couple of weeks- I’m certain they could use it!!

Oh what a way to spend an evening!! I love Nate and he is so talented in decorating. Oh I can think of lots of possibilities if I won that Lowe’s card!
In our house we have blah white walls. We would love a Lowes gift card to help us get some color in our house.
I would love to win! Thanks!
I love your blog! What a great giveaway.. I love Nate Berkus too:)
Would love to spruce up my bathroom. New paint, medicine and vanity.

Sounds like a fun trip! I would love to win. I am at Lowe’s weekly and want to start adding some pretty landscaping to my builder basic yard. Thanks Melissa!
Oh my! I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on paint with Nate there. I would probably just end up painting a bad portrait of Nate on my dresser.
Soooo jealous of your weekend! I would LOVE a Lowes gift card I am hunting a pretty robins egg color for a bathroom! Any valspar colors jump out at u? Thanks…love to win!
We would love to fix up our dated dining room, thanks for such a great giveaway! And congrats on your exciting trip.

We are in the middle of remodeling our bathroom, so I’d spend it on new bathroom fixtures!
So very cool!!! I just moved into this house a few months ago and there are still projects to be done. I love Lowes! I miss it being so close to me, but I know where to find it in my new town too!

Looks like you had a great time! I’d love to win and would use the card to paint my awful 80s oak cabinets white and replace the hardware.
I would love to win this!!! My backyard patio would love it also!
I would love this! How awesome of you to give this away, not sure if I could be so generous… :) I really need to update my bedroom and this would help make that happen!
I just bought Valspar paint for the first time this afternoon…right before finding you on Facebook! I’ll be painting my ugly hallway this weekend…wish me luck!
I would love to win this. I have so many projects that I would like to work on this summer and this would definitely help.
I have three rooms to paint so this would come in really handy!
So neat! I would love this to do some sprucing up of our house before it goes on the market.

Would love to win this! We are renovating our loft and this would really come in handy. “Rooftop” would be the perfect color for the fireplace and “Elegance” would be great for the bathroom. Fingers crossed!
This is a great giveaway!!
Thanks,

LOVE the chevron pattern! Congrats on the win (and getting to hang out with Nate!).
I have been looking at colors to repaint our family room and just this morning thought we might try Valspar paints this time around. This would be perfect!
I would love to win the Lowes card to use towards our deck.
Just linked at FB, too!
What an amazing experience you had! Your blog has been a source of inspiration for me. I am updating my 1980s home, room by room. So far two bathrooms have jumped from 1984 to 2011.Needless to say, I would love to win a $250 Lowe’s gift card. I practically live there every weekend.
I just liked you on Facebook! :)

We love you too. Awesome story, sounds amazing.

My kitchen cabinets and worn landscaping need some serious help! Thanks for the chance at winning.
I love your blog!! I used Valspar in all my rooms in my house. Maybe if I win my favorite painter (my hubby) can paint again :)
Winning this giveaway would be SUCH a blessing! My husband and I are in the process of buying our first house so we would be able to use this toward a LOT of things: fridge, washer, dryer, bathroom cabinet, wood, PAINT, etc. Here’s hoping..and praying…and crossing of fingers.
I shared on facebook. Thanks so much for the generous giveaway!
What a fun time. I love watching the Nate Berkus show and have recently discovered the world of design bloggers and have a bookmark to your blog.
I love your blog! And, I really need that gift card for my new house :)
Do you know the name of the green that Kate was painting on the wall? Does a question count as a comment? :)

Oh, Melissa, how lucky to meet up w/Nate. I would feel just as lucky if I could win and repaint and decorate my 3 bedrooms that are very outdated. I might have to get a suggestion from you for the latest and greatest colors out there in the decorating world.
We’ve lived in the same rental home for 12 years. Our landlord will not spend any of his money to paint or replace items that need updating. Over the years we have been doing our best to update on our own as we can. We would have a wonderful time with the gift card from Lowes!!! Our backyard could use a big facelift.
I love your inspired blog…I’ve been visiting here daily since we moved, looking for inspiration. I’ve linked back here from my blog and tweeted you on my twitter. Good luck to everyone for a wonderful give away!

I’d love a shot at a Lowe’s card so I could paint a vintage dresser that my parents received from my grandma as a wedding gift.
WOW it looks like fun!
Im going to try Valspar paint.
oh the possibilities! New paint, new lighting, new look!
Pick me, pick me, pick me! I live in a 100+ year old house, so a $250 Lowe’s gift certificate would help in the preservation.
We’re getting ready to do some painting both indoors and out. A Lowe’s GC would be ideal!
I’m a new follower — would LOVE to win! :)

How sweet and touching is that to share your gift cards with “virtual” strangers?!!! Wow (again)!!! Love this site. Not only is it a visual break/treat in my day, but a spiritual “deep breathe” as well. Thank you for being here!
Can’t wait to buy a few power tools if I get so lucky as to win the GC! Thanks so much for the chance!
Since this whole painting thing is pretty new to me I would buy an array of different colors of paint and of course all the necessities needed for painting and priming and refinishing old unique treasures!!! Would love to win this gift card:)

I would get paint and revamp, redo, and bring new things to life with my gal pal. We are giving new life to old things…. kinda like what we are doing with our lives.
We need the creativity to flow! And paint… helps :0)
You go, Melissa!

How fun! My front yard needs some sprucing– I need to paint my sad looking outdoor rockers and my kids’ chairs. I LOVE that green you and Kate used.
Just like I told CG, I would literally RUN to Lowes and straight to the paint sprayer isle. There is one there with my name on it I AM SURE.
I’d love to use this gift card to paint and spruce up the apartment my fiance and I will have once we’re married in August. We’re so excited to tackle it together and make our own home. We’re college students (ie dirt poor. good times) so this would be such a huge awesome helpful wedding gift and nice way to start playing house together – for real! :)

Sounds like a fun trip! I would looovveee to win this giveaway!
This would be a big help with my upcoming bathroom reno! Thanks!!
I would spruce up my bathroom….starting with the vanity & top. Use some vaspar paint to repaint the room again!Thanks for the fab giveaway.
Summer break is here and time for sprucing up the bedroom! In 35 years of marriage, other rooms came first, but now it’s time to fix it up with some new color from Valspar!!
How generous! I would love to win. I would buy some patio furniture.
My deck needs stain! What a great treat! You gotta love Lowe’s.
To spend a day painting next to Nate…so jealous! I’d love to have that gift card to finish sprucing up my laundry room.
We are about to embark on a bathroom reno and could totally use that gift card!! Thanks for the chance.
I “liked” you on FB!
I think we spend more money at Lowe’s then anywhere else! Thanks for sharing this chance to win with us!
I’m so excited for you and Kate. You go girls! I would have still been standing there trying to figure out what the heck to do and you would have been finished. What would I do with the money? Oh honey – what wouldn’t I do? I’d get some wood and finish the fireplace, or apply it towards hardwoods for the floors in the den and hallway, I’d love to have new vanities in both bathrooms. I currently have pedestals and that’s such a storage problem, as well as it poses the problem “where the heck do you put your items while you’re putting on your makeup?”
My fiance and I just moved into our first place together as of yesterday! SO SO excited to be living with him after a long distance relationship for a year AND to decorate the new place!
p.s. I liked you on FB!
WOW! What a treat you had! I would LOVE to win this card and create a craft room in my soon to be extra bedroom!
I’d love to win a gift card to Lowes! Seems I end up there regularly. Hard to choose what I’d spend the money on but it’d probably be paint!
This would be an amazing giveaway to win…we are moving in a month, and will be making several trips to Lowes to fix up the new house!
I’m about ready to tackle my kitchen cabinets. I would love to do a major renovation just don’t have the extra money right now. Would love to win this:)
OH! What wouldn’t I do? My hubby and I just bought a house from 1950 and it needs lots of love! :) I could purchase flooring for our dining room, knobs for our new kitchen cabinets (from Lowes….which we are installing ourselves! :) ) or better yet…put it towards a dishwasher that actually works instead of this one from 1990. :)
My dining room is crying for board and batten, and a fresh coat of Valspar paint! Love your blog!
Thanks for the chance to win. The gift card would come in handy to purchase bath fixtures for my master bath remodel. You guys did a super job painting the little chest. Thanks again!
PICK ME!!!!! I would buy new patio chairs.
We just bought a house and I am painting all 3000 square feet by myself! I would love this gift card to buy paint and decorations for the house. It is our dream house and we can’t wait to move in!
Would love to have the gift card to help finish the enclosed porch we added to the back of our house last summer.

What a generous giveaway & what a fun night you must have had. If I won I would go straight to Lowes and get what I needed to board & batten my bedroom, I would also beadboard my small guest bath and get the turquoise paint I want to redo an antique dresser that I have. Wouldn’t that be a fun day!!!! Thanks
After 7 years, most of my walls are builder’s white. I could definitely use the paint.
Hubby and I would love to decorate our new condo with some crafty stuff from Lowes! OK, so just me, but Hubby would like it when I’m done :)
I would definately stencil a wall or two with valspar paint in cream and mocha colors.
My whole house needs remodeling,so I don’t even know where I would begin!
I would pick up a lot of paint for A LOT of DIY projects I have been waiting to finish once the warm weather came along! I would also pick out some new lighting for some changes I have made the past couple of months.
Great giveaway! I would get some lumber for some projects I’ve been dreaming about for months and a couple power tools. :)
Winning the Lowes gift card would be great! I am just starting to think about transforming our boy’s (9 and almost 12) bathroom. ( So they will use their bathroom- not ours!) I was actually planning on stopping at Lowes today to look around. My dream plans are to do a tile floor, install board and batten part way up the walls, paint the upper part of the walls walls and install new light fixtures- Lowes has the best lighting selection! AND last, but not least, possibly applying polyshades to the old oak cabinets to give them an updated look. It sounds like a lot of work- but I’m ready…. and Lowes is the place to go! Having the gift card would be a great start!
Maybe I should close the door on you. NO! What an event. Good for you, I am proud of you.
As an artist/faux painting and fine art I know that nothing surpasses paint. Instant gratification. It’s economical, it fun and it’s fast. Forget wallpaper, nothing can give a wall such depth like paint can and especially if you combine various colors creating color washes and faux venetian plaster. I love paint. Thanks for sharing you 1001 days and having such an inspiring blog.
God bless,
Heidi
Oh the possibilities of a Lowe’s gift card!! Wood for projects….first on the list.
Congrats on your win at the Lowe’s event. Thanks for sharing your winnings with us! I have a whole laundry list of projects that I could use a $250 for at Lowe’s. Bring it on!

How exciting! Love Nate! Thanks for the giveaway.
This paint looks amazing! We are in the process of redoing our new house and I would love to try it out! I love both you and Centsational girl both and it was fun to see your day together!
I would use it to buy lumber to create my square-foot garden, and if any was leftover I’d buy some additional plants for landscaping!
Oh please, me! Please!
Sounds like you had such a great trip!
Oh the possibities…dream!
We just bought a fixer upper and there are sooo many things I could use this for. I will definitely be going through a ton of paint.
How fun to see you both with Nate!! I’de love a gift card for my little boys bedroom re-do!! Maria ;)
I’ve never used Lowe’s paint, but with a $250 g.c. I sure would give it a spin!
We just recently moved into a new home and would love to paint a few of the empty, sad rooms with fresh bright colors!
Oh, I would LOVE to win. My husband and I are just beginning a small, cheap kitchen remodel.
I would love the gift card to purchase new ceiling fans for the house we just moved into!
As a first time homeowner & a newbie to the world of blogs, I have become hooked on many sites. I love seeing what people are doing to make their space personal & special, and have come away with many, many ideas. Don’t know specifically what I’d do with the gift card, but I have many possibilities rolling around in my head!
Thank you for a chance to win!! I have about 50 projects waiting & this would be fabulous!!
OH I so could use this…just moved into a new house and have so many DYI projects to do.
Oh wow, there is SO MUCH we need to do around the house right now. Keeping my fingers crossed for a gift card!
(Came on over from Centsational Girl, & boy am I glad she pointed me to this site!)
What an exciting time for you! Thanks for sharing.
I love what you do, and Centsational Girl, too (she’s how I know about you)! I would use the $250 gift card to get everything I need to re-do my laundry room the way I’ve always wanted it!
If I won, I would use this fabulous gift card to re-do my laundry room! New paint, floors, knobs, and window treatments:)
ME! Pick ME! LOL We have a 60 yr old home that we are renovation here in the PNW…we could use that Lowe’s card one hundred times over and then some! Great post-thanks SO much for the gratuitous Nate vid…who cares if he sits on the other side of the fence, LOVE him anyway!
Thanks for this chance to win a $250. Lowes gift card! Would come in handy as we are hoping to replace my daughter’s carpet in her room with wood or laminate! Pick me please!
You & Kate are both so generous! Thanks for the great giveaway! Ya gotta love Lowe’s & all the inspiration in there!
This would be so amazing! Our bathroom is in DIRE need of a makeover!
We just moved from Denver to San Antonio and our old grill didn’t live through it. My hubby would be thrilled with a new grill for Fathers Day and I could use that beautiful gift card to get some flowers too!!!
we just bought an amazing house (our first!) yesterday. it was built in 1968 so it has a lot of charm and personality, but it needs a lot of work. right now, our highest priority is to replace the old sliding glass door in the dining room, that exits to the patio. besides being ugly, it doesn’t feel secure, and safety is a huge concern for us. a lowe’s gift card would help us purchase a new, beautiful french door with adequate locks and door hardware. thanks for being so generous!
This will go a long way in helping me redo my master bedroom!
I would Love to win! It looks like you had a great time… yes Im jealous.
I would use the money towards fixing our house so that we can sell it – it is in need of some repairs before we put it on the market and I would give anything to be able to move to Oregon so that we can care for my fiance’s Mother who needs us. I would use the GC to buy materials to fix the roof and/or the deck and/or the siding on the house and/or paint and/or a front door! (our front door has a window that has been smashed and is held together with duct tape right now!
Thank you for your generousity and for hosting this giveaway

For sure I will use it to remodel our master bedroom… it needs some love :)
I would love the gift card to buy paint for my bedroom!
I just liked you on facebook
We are renovating and redecorating our 1880′s cape cod so could defiitely use help from Lowe’s!
I have a long list of things I’d love to do with a Lowe’s gift card! It looks like a really fun trip. I’m so glad you go to go.
Looks like so much fun! I happen to be working on a project involving paint & winning this would be perfect!
Thank you so much for offering this to your readers and for sharing your experience in NYC! I’m gonna follow your lead and be charitable with that gift card by doing a bedroom makeover for my mom =D
I am actually in the process of painting some furniture for my daughter and myself , so I would buy paint and sandpaper and new knobs-I hope I win-:)
I’d get materials to organize our garage & my tools, and finish projects around the house (install crown molding, adding a backsplash in the kitchen, replacing light fixtures, etc) Thanks for this opportunity!
Winning a $250 gift card to Lowe’s can really help me purchase materials for a few projects in my house, like installing wainscoting in my first floor bathroom and then stenciling or wallpapering the top half, replacing our construction-grade light fixtures/chandeliers, installing a closet system–and the list goes on. Thanks for sharing this!
I like you on facebook! :)

I have used the valspar paint with the primer in it. I painted my sewing room with it. Love it!! It was so easy and only one coat …. I will be using it again.

Ooh man, I was recently plucked from my home in Utah and moved to a bachelor pad in Washington. I’d pretty much die to have that gift card. Maybe then my husband would unground me from thrift shopping because then I could actually finish my projects.
Not that exciting, but essential… I would use the gc towards replacing our toilets :) I’m new to your blog & have enjoyed reading entries this morning. Thanks!
I love having found your blog, and being inspired. I have a few painting project in mind already, and now I know, paint the hinges and the handle.
We are painting the exterior of our house and hope to landscape the front yard the gift card would be a great help!
Love your blog,already a follower there
Would love to win gift card ,love Lowe’s – need a paint sprayer
Lynn
first time viewing your blog-very inspirational
There is always a project in my head. :) Thanks so much!
SO could use the giftcard for stair renovation, patio updates or bathroom paint!!!
I would love to win a Lowes gift card! We just had our third kid and I am really wanting to figure out some good storage solutions.
I heart Nate! He always has a good blend of elegant and fun in his designs- thanks for sharing!
I am so jealous of your painting experience! I would have loved to be in that room! If I won the #250 gift card I would use it to buy probably some paint, but only if I had money leftover after buying a compound miter saw! I am getting really tired of borrowing my dad’s and my hubby doesn’t have one. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one in a permanent home in our garage? I could only imagine the projects I could complete!
