Random.org picked our winner: Tracey @ Tropical Happiness. She just moved into a new house last week, so she’ll have plenty to shop for—congratulations! If you didn’t win this one, don’t worry: you can still enter Hometalk’s $500 Lowe’s gift card giveaway on their site through Sunday.
Hometalk is a thriving online community where homeowners, DIYers, and home improvement professionals share projects, tips, and advice. The site features everything from simple weekend crafts to large home renovation projects, and it includes contributions from well-known home and garden personalities. For this giveaway, Hometalk generously sponsored a $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel to help one lucky reader refresh their home with furniture, decor, or kitchen goods.
In addition to the Crate & Barrel card we hosted here, Hometalk was also running a separate $500 giveaway to Lowe’s on their own site. That meant two opportunities to win: one on this post and another directly at Hometalk. To enter the Lowe’s giveaway, participants could answer a short poll about outdoor summer projects, create a free account on Hometalk, and submit their entry there. If you wanted both chances, you could enter both giveaways; otherwise, entering just one was perfectly fine.
- Prize: One $500 gift card to Crate & Barrel, courtesy of Hometalk
- How to enter: Leave a comment on this post with the words “TALK TO ME!”
- Bonus question: Hometalk asked about summer projects, so here we’re curious about your fall and winter plans. What projects are on your list for the cooler months? Are you planning a fireplace update, a bedroom refresh for cozy nights, or seasonal decorating for Halloween and Christmas?
- Giveaway closes: Wednesday, August 17th at 8pm EST
- Number of winners: One
- Prize ships: The 50 United States
- Rules summary: One entry per e‑mail address. The winner was chosen at random using random.org and announced here the following Thursday. Please return to this post on Thursday morning for the official winner announcement.

If you missed this drawing, keep an eye out for future giveaways and seasonal promotions. Hometalk regularly features contests, community-driven project spotlights, and helpful content for anyone looking to tackle home improvements, whether you’re planning a full renovation or a small weekend refresh. Entering contests like this is an easy way to potentially offset the cost of new furniture, seasonal decor, or must-have home goods from retailers like Crate & Barrel and Lowe’s.
Thanks to everyone who entered and commented—your participation and project ideas make these events fun. And congratulations again to Tracey @ Tropical Happiness for winning the Crate & Barrel gift card. Stay tuned for more opportunities to win and more inspiration for your next home project.
