Decor Steals Giveaway – THE bamboo mat

The item being featured as the “steal of the day” at Decor Steals today is so hot that you may want to go over and buy it before reading this post!  I have a feeling they will sell out fast, since one of my FAQ’s is, “Where did you get the mat/rug in your dining room?”

This bamboo typography mat has been under all of my dining sets…

061 copy (640x426)

145 copy (530x800) (424x640)

…including my latest one…

DSC_1933 (424x640)

 

 

(here’s a preview of it…)

DSC_1918 (424x640)

…it’s the backdrop for a lot of my photo shoots…

045 copy (426x640)

 

024 copy (426x640)

…it was the anchor in all of my spaces at Lucketts…

DSC_1902 copy (424x640)

…and even made it into my book.

Dinging Room 1 (424x640)

 

It’s become such a signature in my look that I’m not sure I can take it out of the dining room without causing a reader riot!  So, if you’ve ever wanted one, now is your chance.

  And here’s a preview of some goodies that will be in upcoming steals…

Rotating-Wall-Hook-Unit

park-hill-lanterns

Mason-Jar-Lids-decor-steals

Tea-Stained-Patriotic-Bunting

bamboo-runner-typography

 

Did you notice the last one?  It’s a runner version of the bamboo mat.  Be on the lookout for that one!

Now, on to the giveaway.  Decor Steals is offering up $50 shop credits to TWO lucky readers.  These girls drive a hard bargain, so $50 will go a long way when shopping there.  Here’s how to enter…

  117. Marian,
    I signed up for newsletter. I showed my wife your fabric covered walls and she stopped me at your dining room so she could see your typeography rug.
    I think she would love the runner version for the laundry room.

  183. Already Like their FB page. (Seriously….I’ve already done every one of these like, a year ago….I look forward to 9am central time, EVERY MORNING for the latest deal;))

  189. Today’s steal is my favorite! We needed to go grocery shopping today, but I told my kids we had to wait until 9 (Central Time) so that I could buy the rug before we left.

    I follow Décor Steals in Pinterest.

    I’m on their e-mail list also.

  269. Love the rug, of course. Would love to have one. The 3 tiered utilitarian basket is awesome! It’s on my “wish” list. I also voted for the antique/vintage, soap & water sign. Love it for one of the future steals.

  280. I guess my favorite “steal” is the bamboo rug, because I just ordered one. 🙂

  311. I feel like a kid in a candy store with these choices, but the 3-tiered basket really catches my eye!

  314. I love your rug, so glad they offered it! Notice I said “your rug”? We all thought of you when this steal came to our inboxes!!!

The rug is beautiful, if I hadn’t just bought a different one for my dining room, it surely would have been added to my cart. Thanks for a chance at winning a gift certificate for my favorite place to shop!

  353. I love the bamboo rug too but unfortunately I have no room in my tiny house for it. I would love to use the gift card to go towards the runner! I have the perfect place for it! I am excited to catch that steal!

  389. I just treated myself to the big topography mat by ordereing one first thing this morning! Love it!

  406. I have already subscribed to their emails and I love getting them everyday. So far I have purchased the fours wooden hanging boxes, their butterfly footstool, the three boxwood wreaths, and the antique metal round photo holder. My house just keeps getting better and better!

  417. I’ve made all my entries MMS!! Like the facebook page, signed up for email, Liked the cute sign and I’m now following them on Pin!! Love this rug!

  418. Love the bamboo rug. I had one in my room as a child that my father brought from the Far East. Would love another.

  420. I look forward to their daily emails, too! Forever watching for this large bamboo area rug. So Why, why, why did I not check my email until 6pm?!? Because I was babysitting my darling 1 year old grandson until 5pm, that’s why! Someday my chance will come! Maybe I will win it, after all!

  424. I love the Bamboo matt!!! My husband even commented on the rug when I was showing him you blog!!!

  425. Still praying for a chance to let it come home and live in my dining room, too! I never get tired of seeing it! It is so gorgeous, and just evokes a feeling of comfort, that says “this is a forever home”!

  428. I ordered and got the rug the last time they had it available. Love it. Have also purchased the wreath. I get their newsletter everyday and am a fan on Facebook. Must have the typography runner….great extended steal.

  431. I love the three tier wire basket but I also love the wall hook that will be a future steal!

  432. I’m already a subscriber to Decor Steals and I look forward to my daily email from them!

  434. Hey!
    My favorite steal right now is the 16″ boxwood wreath,

    I keep putting it in my cart and not purchasing it as it is not a “necessity” right now.

    Would love to win $50 to buy it!

    Thanks!
    Kerri

  436. Love the WIRE BIRD CAGES being offered on ‘Steals/Deals’. Left a comment on Decor Deals, and entered contest there as well.

    Can’t wait to see what you’ve posted all the time; obsessed fan??? I think I am !! 🙂

  440. I’m following Decor Steals on Pinterest! Thanks for offering such a fun giveaway and for being such an inspiration!

  448. Well, I don’t think anything can top your rug as my pick, but I’ve seen so many other fantastic things. I do really like that pallet tray with the cute canning jar drink glasses you’ve pictured though!

    1. I’m kind of thinking this is all a scam to get our info and the free giveaways if they exist are probably to friends and family members.

  459. I was already following some decor steal boards on pinterest, but there were a lot of ones new to me, so now I have a ton. Thanks for the heads up.

  476. The rug would be a fave for all but the soap and water signs are my next fave. I love anything that Decor Steals offer and I am now waiting for that runner to use on my table or French Country cabinet. I love receiving their emails, it is like opening a Christmas gift in the mornings, wondering whats inside the box:). Thanks for being besties with that group, you sure know how to pick EM—-MMS!!:) NOW, if DECOR STEALS could just give YOU away to come do my DECOR!!!! That would be the steal of the year deal! Just think, I could actually have my house finished before Christmas—- a woman can dream–right????
    Thanks for all your help!!!!

  505. I already receive Decor Steal emails and am waiting for my most recent
    purchase! Thanks for sharing their site with us.

  508. I bought the rug! Actually it’s my birthday present from my hubby. I already get Decor Steals emails and I liked their fb and now I follow them on Pinterest. Also I “liked” the bath sign.

  510. “Check today’s deal and extended steals and tell us which deal strikes you the most.”
    The mat of course!

  513. Also been following Decor Steals on Pinterest for a while. And by the way, August 11 is my birthday! How fortuitous!

  514. Of course my favorite current deal is the bamboo rug!!! LOVE it!! But honestly all their stuff is great!

  522. I ADORE that rug! How amazing that it is available on Decor Steals!! Maybe an early Christmas present?? I already subscribe to their emails and follow them on Pinterest. “Liked” them on Facebook and left a comment. *Fingers crossed*

  524. I already subscribe to their emails. But will start following them on Pinterest too. Liked them on Facebook….now if they would just draw my name:)

  527. Thanks for the chance to win a $50 gift certificate. It’ll go a long way in that store.

  530. I already subscribe to their email. I can’t wait for some of the upcoming deals!!!

  532. My future steal pick was the Soap and Water bathroom sign. Love it, I found the rug back in April (online at another site) and just got confirmation yesterday that it was finally on its way!!! Decor Steals gets a total thumbs up from me! I’ll be purchasing the runner for sure. Lisa at Decor Steal is a doll to work with too.

  537. Just purchased the rug and love the runner. Hope I can get that later. I liked them on face book and have been following for sometime. Follow on Pinterest too. Hope to win. Thanks for the offer and sponsor or this Decor Steal. Have been waiting for it for awhile.

    The mat! If only I my little apartment was big enough for it 🙂

  557. I am already on the email list. Ask my husband about the boxes that show up at our house.(bg)

  559. Oh Marian, I love your rug…last year Décor Steal offered this rug in a smaller version, which is in front of my kitchen sink. I am already on their email and they run daily on my likes on facebook. I would so love to win this larger one. I would also like in the future picks

    An extended steal pick is the French Three Tier Wire Basket.

  647. And I subscribe to their newsletter…which are ALL kind of “bad” things because I have already ordered 5-6 things from them in the last few weeks and they make it entirely too easy to buy since they take Paypal and I don’t have to go hunt down my purse to find a credit card 😉
    But I LOVE their stuff and have been very pleased with the things I have received to date.
    I bought the grain sack material first thing, covered a little ottoman with it, and it didn’t last 2 days in my flea booth!!! Beautiful.
    And I use the little chalk board stands at my flea booths for little signs…I dread the day someone buys them…and I know they will!
    BTW…they are not all “farmhouse” decor….I am more of a “mid century modern” with a touch of “traditional” and they have some great pieces that I really enjoy!

  649. Signed up for the decor steals newsletter! Love pretty much all their stuff and would love to be able to have some in my home!! Thank you for introducing me to them, I can’t wait to get my first item!

  690. Love the Feedsack Fabric – Could use this for so many DIY projects – purses, curtains, pillows, etc. Love it!!!

  699. The feed sack fabric is tempting so is the set of soap and towels sign – would look great in my bath.

  710. I love the chalkboards and the grain sack fabric!!! WIsh they had the beige and blue stripe.

  722. The feedsack fabric! I love it! This is my second time missing the color I wanted 🙁 but hopefully it’ll be back!

  731. I followed them on Pinterest and now can’t wait to go check out their boards! Thanks for the chance to win!

  756. I would use the fabric to cover dining chairs myself, and also try to find someone to make slipcovers for two channel back chairs. Love their website.

  757. Love the gorgeous fabric!! Looking for fabric to change the seat covers on my kitchen chairs!

  763. I am already on their daily newsletter and I would love to have the rug-love how you

    Hugs,
