Guest Ready

I was contacted by Better Homes and Gardens to see if I would review some products in their line at Walmart. They asked if I'd like to use $100 to get a bedroom guest ready. I was excited because, although I liked my guest room the way it was, the bedding was never warm enough for my guests during the winter months.I picked the beautiful BHG Fleur de lis comforter set because it goes well with the colors already in the room. It's a gorgeous grayish brown with accents of green and yellow. The all-over ruffles pillow is the perfect accessory to tie in the existing browns in the room.While I was freshening up the bedding I added the branch over the bed and hung a framed botanical. I think that my guests will be very comfortable in this updated room.I'm excited to give one of you the chance to win a $100 gift card to Walmart so that you can make your home guest ready.
To enter all you need to do is:
*go to their site and pick a Better Homes and Gardens item you would love to have in your home.
For additional entries you can:
* "like" BHG on their Facebook page, thank them for this awesome giveaway and tell them Joys of Home sent you.
* Tweet or Facebook about this giveaway.
Be sure to leave a comment for each entry.

The giveaway will go until Tuesday, October 11th. The winner will be chosen randomly and announced shortly afterward. Good Luck!

    I could definitely use some curtain rods and curtains, I like the Oglesby rods and the Diamond Dobby Panel. But honestly, I wouldn't mind having any/all of those things in my home!

  9. Clicked over to Wal*Mart... I've had my eye on the country red dishes for AGES. I'd love to give my dining room hutch a new make-over. If I will the card I think I'll paint the wall red too, something else I've been meaning to do for ages.

  17. How timely, Joy! I am actually going to have to fix up this guest room in our new place. I'm working with the existing gray blue walls and this Fleur set would go wonderfully. I also like the Gramercy pillow they have, if only it came in bedding with that colorway. It would work absolutely perfectly in my guest room.

  68. Wow Joy, that's beautiful. I would choose one of the comforter sets as our master bedroom has (embarrasingly) never been decorated in 30 years. That's a shame. But, now that we're almost empty nesters, it's about time! I love all their products and it would be a difficult decision but one I'd love to make.
