Gracious Giveaway: The Writings on the Wall…

Gracious Giveaway…

Since our eyes are constantly peeled for fun wall art, we’re so excited to bring you this week’s giveaway from E.A.D Designs.  If you are looking to personalize your space with a fabulous vinyl wall quote, than this week’s prize is right up your alley!

***This giveaway is complete & no longer accepting entries***

E.A.D Designs specializes in unique vinyl lettering designs, decals and decor for every area of your life: home, work and everything in between. Now you can add a unique design to one of your walls without picking up the paintbrush. Vinyl wall stickers give you the opportunity to add words, pictures, scenes or bold graphics to any clean, flat surface. These easy-to-apply bursts of creativity can turn walls, windows, furniture or the side of the fridge into a focal point for your room. Most importantly, they offer their vinyl lettering wall phrases and quotes at exceptionally affordable prices! So, great design is affordable and right at your fingertips!

As a fan of interior decorating on a budget, I love to find great deals that can really spice up a room.  That’s why I was so excited to open my door to a package I received from my new friends at E.A.D Designs, who generously allowed us to select our very own wall quote for our humble abode…

So… we shot a video on our fun application to show you just how easy it is to apply and how great the results are!

Just look at some of their creative designs…

So, do you want to add a bit of personality to that blank wall of yours? Our winners this week will be scoring this exact wall quote from E.A.D Designs!

    Home is where my story begins. It is where my brothers and sisters were born and where my father died in his sleep. It is the story of generations of love, sorrow, and endurance. It is where I come back to reminisce or rejuvenate when I need to remind myself what is important in life.

    I really love EAD products. I would use this vinyl in my dining room that is badly in need of being redone, paint , decorating and all. Home is where you are safe in the company of your children, and the children, all adults now, are safe with each other. Doesn’t happen very often anymore. Home is still precious to each of them.

    Home is where my story begins… I am getting ready to completly start a new chapter in my life. 5 months ago i met a fantastic Man who is everything i have prayed for my whole entire life, He was my first kiss and November he will be my last kiss (yes we are aiming to get married in NOVEMBER!) I would use the EAD product for my new apartment as a newly wed. Home is where my story began, when I first met Philip I felt I had finally found my home. My heart found its home, and Philip is where the new Chapter in my story began.

    Home is where my story begins :)..That statment could not be more true. My fiance Ryan and I are getting married on December 12th exactly 8 months from today and we could not be more excited! Ryan and I will have been together for 5 years when we get married and I can honestly say it has been the best 5 years of my life. Now we definitely went through some ups and downs. He was in college at Penn State on a swimming scholarship and I was working as a Hairstylist here in Richmond, VA so the distance seemed at times impossible especially since he rarely could come home and I was working full time, but because home is where our hearts are and God being the source of our strengh we made it through. So when we begin on this new journey as newlyweds our home will not only be the place where we eat and sleep it will be the place that joins our hearts together and represents the love and laughter in our lives. I know our first home will always be a special to us because it will be where our story begins.

    Thank you Lindsay for being such a blessing and giving such awesome ideas!!!!
    Love, Kara 🙂

    Home for me is a small apartment in Ft. Lauderdale with my new husband! Even though the space is a squeeze for the two of us and all of our things we are determined to make it work for the next couple of months till we can expand into a bigger place. We have brought our things together and have added some new touches to make it feel like our home and are excited to create memories in the first place that we are beginning our story together.

    My husband and I just bought our first home, and it is DEFINITELY the beginning of some wonderful (and insane) stories. Our challenge right now is decorating on a {tight} budget! I just remind ourselves that it takes time to make a house look like a home. Project by Project, I wouldn’t change a thing 🙂

    I love this! What a great saying, and with such meaning for me. There is no where in the world where I feel I as comfortable as “home”. I’ve always said that my story begins and ENDS and home, so it’s very fitting for me. I love the way you put it in your stairway with a personal picture — that is exactly what I will do if I win it.

    And I SO made EAD a facebook FAV!

    I have a friend that created her own favorite saying, and I have been looking hopelessly for it printed on something. It is “Family are the people that gather around the table”. Now I know how to get this for her!!!!!!!
