Apartment Therapy and Etsy are sponsoring a DIY contest to encourage you to get your projects done in February! Basically, you can submit a project to any of their five websites in the following categories:
- Apartment Therapy - home decor projects
- The Kitchn - kitchen projects
- Ohdeedoh - kids' home projects
- Unplggd - home office & tech projects
- Re-Nest - green home projects
The project must be done yourself, you must provide pictures and instructions and the project must be completed by February 23. Read the complete rules here.
So if you were considering repainting a room, upholstering a chair, painting a desk, do it this month and submit it! Currently, they have no entries in the kids' home projects category, so that field is wide open!
Hey! I DID this!!! Thanks to you, I finally had the motivation to work on a project that's been going on and on in my mind. Yay me! I have no clue if they'll even enter into the contest...I did a sort of home decor, but I entered it into the kid section since mine involved my kids a wee bit. Who knows?
You can take a peek if you're bored...I think this is the right link.

Thanks! I'll let you know if they enter me officially and I'll beg for votes. :)

Ooh...bugging you again, since I only completed this project due to you... They just posted my entry today, so I'm behind in votes and desperately commenting on strangers' blogs. Ha!
