HomeSense Giveaway!

I haven’t hosted a giveaway in ages and I think you will love what I have for you today. The folks at HomeSense are providing one lucky Decor Happy reader with a $250 gift card. Cool, right?

Their decor expert, Tamara Robbins Griffith recently shared some tips on decorating a small space – whether it’s on-campus, your first home or your forever home. It’s all about multi-function pieces and creative storage solutions.

(HomeSense is my go-to place for storage items like the  wire bins in my hall closet and the metal tray on my dresser.)

via Decor Happy

  • A small cabinet can be used as a vanity
  • Desk accessories can store toiletries

via Decor Happy

  • A double bed full of toss cushions functions as a sofa
  • Mount storage baskets and boxes on the wall
  • Stash a few more under the bed

via Decor Happy

  • A desk does double duty as a dining table

via Decor Happy

  • Kitchen canisters and wire baskets help conquer clutter on a kitchen counter. 
  • A message board is a must in any space.

Great tips!  Some of the items above are available in store or will be shortly.  What would you spend your gift card on?
