Decor Steals Black Friday Giveaway

You’ve been hearing about Decor Steals on my blog for a few years now.  In fact, this Friday is their 5th anniversary!   They’ve come a long way in 5 years, haven’t they?  Working with them has gone beyond the usual blogger/sponsor relationship.  I was fortunate enough to meet the girls behind Decor Steals in person and get to know them over the years.  They have always been so supportive and encouraging to me, so it’s an honor to help them celebrate the five year mark.

In order to celebrate, they are having several giveaways and they have brought back a few of their best sellers…

…the now-famous cow head that I hung in my kitchen and put a wreath around her neck…

…reproduction grain sack fabric…

…and a few others like this green tote…

Green-Picking-Basket

…ceramic blue & white knobs (you know I love these!)…

…and a rolling cart inspired by vintage wire laundry baskets.

We were supposed to show a couple of creative ways to use that cart, but I was up to my elbows in dust from sanding our floors and we needed to leave home earlier than planned to beat the winter storm hitting the east coast, so I just couldn’t make it happen.  I’m sure Donna will give lots of inspiration, though, so checked out her blog to see its versatility.

And, of course, what is a celebration without gifts?  Decor Steals is offering up a $100 gift card to one lucky MMS reader.

Here’s how to enter…

  • Entry one: Just leave a comment on this post.
  • Entry two: Check today’s deal and other extended and pick steals, then leave a comment on this post telling me which one you like the most.
  • Entry three: Subscribe to the Decor Steals email newsletter so you don’t miss their deals and Flash steals in the future.   Leave one last comment letting me know you have (or already do.)

This giveaway is only open to those living in the continental US and readers who are 18 and older. It will end Monday, December 1, 2014, at midnight PST and a winner will be randomly selected and announced next week.

For more chances to win, check out the giveaways running on Funky Junk Interiors and Decor Steals’ FaceBook Page.

Good luck and happy black Friday shopping!

  346. I really love the cow head as we raise steers in Napa County 4-H. But I didn’t see it.
    The rolling cart is super awesome!!!

  350. I love, love, LOVE the cow! Did I stress enough that I love the cow!!! Cows are nostalgic to me as I lived my first ten years on my Grandma’s Golden Guernsey dairy farm. I can still picture her shooing the cows in after neighbors found them roaming in their yards and along the road. (They would trample down the wire fence and escape!). She used to bottle the whole, unpasteurized milk and cream for the city people who became long time friends. I witnessed many newborn calves and was fortunate to share that with my boys, nieces, and nephews when they were small. The farm (and my dear Grandma are long gone, so I can’t share them with my grandchildren. However, I will cherish the memories and happily share them with the grandkids…sigh…
    By the way, I love everything you do. I have your wonderful book. Thank you for the ideas you share. You are a great inspiration!

  353. I own that cow head and wreath and LOVE them both!! Thanks for always providing great content and amazing ideas to try in our own homes!

  358. I’ve been subscribed to the Decor Steals newsletter for years, and my house (and wallet) show it! Love them – super deals, and they are really nice to work with!

  363. I agree – hands down, it HAS to be the CART!! Ooh – I would put mine in the bathroom, filled with fluffy white towels, fill the smaller basket with wash cloths, & the crate underneath with wrapped home-made goats milk soaps. What a fabulous giveaway – today just happens to be my 33rd wedding anniversary, this prize would be a wonderful gift! Thanks to you & to DecorSteals for the most creative inspiration, decorating ideas & accessories!

Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. If memory serves you came to Raleigh, NC one year for the holidays. I am nearby in Greensboro.

  390. I always enjoy seeing the cow–she reminds me of Bessie, the Jersey cow I milked as a small girl. She came to live with us when the pediatrician told my parents that I, the preemie, needed to drink plenty of good, whole milk.

  399. So many cool items at Decor Steals –my subscription to their site brings all the current must-haves to my computer screen and even to my front door! The letters really speak to me right now.

  445. Love your site! I just can’t get enough of the vintage inspired ideas and would be lost without my daily fix of Miss Mustard Seed, Décor Steals and Funky Junk Interiors! Love you all!!!!!

  446. I love “soft surroundings” everything I like but would like the biggg mirror and faux fur neck wrap. and side table…

  449. Love the “new” vintage cart at Décor Steals today and have my fingers crossed that I could get lucky and win my very first giveaway! I would have to say though that of all the items I have purchased from Décor Steals the lighted tree “twigs” would have to be my favorite thing that was available today. I get oohhs and aahhs every time someone walks into my house and sees them paired with some branchs of pretty orange and red artificial crabapples!

I bought some supplies and your book too! The ladies there could not have been more helpful. I forgot to pick up the bonding agent I will need for my project, but I will order it through your site. Anyway, I hope you realize how helpful all of your pictures and tutorials really are to us much-less-experienced wanna-be Mustard Seeds! We are lucky to have you 🙂

I have been a member of their site for quite some time. Happy Holidays!

  521. I would buy today’s steal, the metal basket on wheels! I love what Donna did to hers to turn it into a coffee station. I would use mine to store yarn or fabric in my art studio. Or it would be fabulous to fill the basket with all the supplies I was using for a project and wheel it over to my work table.

  733. First I love your site! And you’ve provided so much inspiration to me to be creative!
    Second I live the green tote
    Third I’m already subscribed to decor steals and one of the purchases was the surprise box! It was filled with great buys and I felt like I received a birthday present from a friend

  734. Love the reproduction grain sack fabric. It is so hard to find. Thanks Marian for introducing me to Decor Steals and all the fun things you share on your blog.

  736. What fun and such cute items. I think the reproduction grain sack material would be fun to work with. I look forward to the flash steals newsletters.

  747. 1. I love your Miss Mustardseed web-site and look forward to each post.
    2. I’m having a hard time choosing between the reproduction grain sack fabric and the green tote. I think it’s gotta be the grain sack fabric, tho’.
    3 I just signed up.

  755. LOVE Décor Steals – I first found out about them from you site and have purchased several things from them!!! GREAT prices and quality….. I ALWAYS get compliments on their things as I decorate my home!!!

    Happy Holidays!!!

  756. We can utilize the Large Vintage Rolling Storage Cart Basket in absolutely EVERY room in our farmhouse…GREAT Funky Junk Pick! MY FAVE!!!! 🙂

  758. I subscribed to Décor Steals right away (when I first was introduces via your blog!) Love the daily emails – I’m addicted to them and make sure I look at them even if I look at nothing else!

  760. Ok – my comment is that I love this vintage wire rolling basket cart….!! I ordered it so I’m hoping it will be as versatile in using as I have in my mind….a wine bar, outdoor patio beverage bar, sewing room, and laundry if I must….

  764. I missed the wooden ladder 🙁 but, today, I love the 3 – tiered serving trat. I love the wood and metal combination and the graduated trays. Good size too. I have to think about it as I’m running out of room to display and to store!!! Their metal cloche on the pedestal (with the cute bird on top!) is a big hit – I currently have it in my main bathroom holding 2 rolls of toilet tissue! GREAT stuff on Décor Steals!! Thanks for showing their products and THANKS for having such a great blog with so many wonderful ideas…..I just need to DO some of them now!!! 🙂

  766. Love the Large Vintage Rolling Storage Cart Basket. Can think of so many uses for it. I also like the herb boxes and Wall Spice Rack. Thanks!

  775. I have had my eye on that vintage rolling cart for a while. It’s wonderful! Thanks for this giveaway, Marian.

  779. For the “Pick Steals”, the green market basket is a great deal, I always need more, beautiful storage.

  785. I have subscribed to Decor Steals for awhile, ordered from them, and look forward to checking what they are offering each day. Love their items! After checking their offerings today, I found myself taking a second look on your blog at the green tote and grain sack material, while the herb box set and tray on Decor Steals’ sight caught my eye.
    Marian, thank you for all you ideas, painting tips, and tutorials. Love your comments as you explore your new adventure with a “shop”! It must be really exciting! After the holidays, I’lm hoping to get my courage up to try mild paint on some chairs I have! I’ll be referring to those tips to complete that project. Thanks again….N. J.

  788. Love your Blog, and one of the MANY things I’ve purchased from D/S is the alphabet bamboo rug I first saw under your dining table ages ago! Love it, too! Thanks for all your stellar ideas!

  791. I love today’s rolling cart, but that green metal market basket that has been in the “Picks” for awhile is calling my name! I can just see it decorated for Christmas with red, red ribbons, at least three of their huge sugar pine cones I ordered … and any number of other vintage red- & green-trimmed kitchen goodies of my Mom’s!!!

  795. I’ve subscribed to Decor Steals for a long time ~ I buy far too many things for me, but the fun, unique gifts I find for friends & family are always so warmly received & everyone loves them, they’re my go-to for most everyone! So, yes, I’m already getting their newsletter.

  815. I already receive Decor Steals emails. I love it all! That rolling cart, wow! Of course, the cow head is great also!

  817. I think the rolling cart is absolutely ingenious but I have to say my heart burns for the grain sack cloth!!!

  818. I LOVE the cow head and the cart! The cow head would be perfect mounted in my kitchen and the cart is fabulous for the bathroom!

  819. Just recently discovered Decor Steals, AWESOME!!!!! Just received my first order and love it, would love to win and order more from them, THANKS for the chance!!!!

  846. I have been following Decor Steals since you recommended them a long time ago, always a daily fun email!

  848. Oh Marian I so want that vintage cart to recreate Donna’s beverage cart. I’m already a subscriber to Decor Steals Newsletter. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed over here!

  872. I’ve admired and looked at their herb boxes every time they’ve been offered…can’t figure out where I’d use them, yet. 🙂

  881. I loved the vintage looking spice rack. Am remodeling/renovating a 1900 farmhouse and they would go great in my kitchen. I have signed up for Decor Steals and have been to Donna’s funky junk to see the different ways that she has used the cart. Thank you for your site as well. It is the time of year when we are all so busy that we cannot get to everything that we want to, so you are forgiven. Love your site and will continue to browse it for ideas as well. Thanks you.

  883. Would love that cow head! I already subscribe and they have the cutest things. I look forward every day to my email inbox for their treasures. Always great quality!

  886. The tote would look so cute stuffed with greens and pine cones for the holidays! Then maybe cut tulips in the spring! Mmmmm! Love it!

  888. I LOVE Decor Steals!! I can’t wait until 10 every day so I see the steal of the day. I have ordered several items from them – Love!

  893. I have purchased 5 cow heads and 1 horse head. I have also purchased the wreath so I can be just
    like you.

  897. Hmmmmm. This is a hard one…to pick just one item that I like the most when there are soooooo many great things to choose from. I would have to say one of my favorites would be the Large Letter Wall Shelf.

  899. I am a newer fan of miss mustard seed but I am so inspired by everything you post. I recently discovered this vintage interior furnishing and would love to place any of these pieces in our home. The green tote is so cute – would be very versatile for the holidays. Merry christmas!!!

  904. Hi, Marion! I must say, reading your daily posts has gotten me inspired for decorating for the holidays.

Hope you and your family and all bloggers out there enjoyed this Thanksgiving. God Bless!

I take a hybrid approach when it comes to running my life and organizing my thoughts.  I like paper, pencils, and pens for writing down ideas, planning, and managing my day.  While old-fashioned notebooks are my preference for most things, I rely heavily on a digital calendar and reminder alarms
