CSN Stores $60 GC GIVEAWAY

CONGRATULATIONS TO NUMBER 14 AS CHOSEN BY RANDOM.ORG! Please respond to my email within 72 hours to claim your prize. Thanks very much to everyone who entered!
**************************************************************************
I am always on the lookout for ways to replace my hodgepodge of post-college Ikea pressed wood and fiberboard with real furniture and home furnishings. Sometimes when I look at my living room, I just want to take these fake wood things outside and chop them up for firewood (but maybe they're so fake they won't even burn?).

Stewart says we need to wait until the boys stop destroying the furniture and we move to our next place. I finally got him to agree to buy a dining table (which I covered with two tablecloths so H&R wouldn't destroy it), but I understand the reasoning why we should wait to get other pieces. Then I can actually use the bank account marked "Furniture" instead of letting it sit pitifully collecting 1% interest. In the meanwhile, I'm doing a lot of window shopping, mostly online. One great place to find everything from a snazzy new table lamp to dressers to carpets is the CSN Stores. Actually it's not just one place but 200+ online stores for everything you could need in your home. These are some things I'd love to get when I finally buy some real things:

But you don't need to wait. My friends at the CSN Stores will give one lucky Random Mommy reader a $60 gift certificate to use on any one of the many webstores that make up the CSN Stores. The gift certificate does not cover shipping, but there are thousands of products that ship for free.

HOW TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY:  Contest period runs from Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 11:01 AM (Pacific) until Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 11:59 PM (Pacific). Enter by leaving a comment on what new item of furniture you'd like for your home, and leave your e-mail address OR sign in to comments using your Blogger ID, making sure your Blogger profile is public and includes your e-mail address.

If you don't leave a qualifying comment and your e-mail address or public Blogger profile, your entry will be disqualified. I reserve the right to extend the contest period. At the end of the contest period, I will utilize Random.org to randomly choose the winner. The winner will be contacted by e-mail and will have 72 hours to respond to my e-mail. If the winner does not respond within 72 hours, the prize will go to the next place winner as decided by Random.org. This contest is open for US and Canadian Residents only. A huge thank you and much appreciation to CSN Stores for its generosity! Good luck!

I did not receive compensation for this post. I was given the opportunity to share with my readers and took it.
