your chance to win a dream closet makeover

This girl wants a closet makeover.  I mean, my closet is fine and all — and it’s definitely organized — but it doesn’t look like Windsor Smith‘s dressing area either.

What I really want are drawers.  I think it is super dreamy to have all of your clothes in one place and eliminate the bedroom dresser entirely!   I’ve done that actually … but I simply use baskets on my open shelving.  Drawers would give me more room to stack sweaters and shirts.  I’m also a minimalist at heart — some of those celebrity “dream” closets with hundreds and hundreds of pairs of shoes would literally give me hives — so I like the clean look of a drawer bank.

So what do you think are my chances of winning the Mother’s Day $3,000 Closet Makeover from IMPACT Design Resources?  Ummm, that would be nada-zilch-zero-nothing — if I don’t do some arm-twisting to get my beloved hubby and my little buddies to sign me up!   The next best thing, however, would be to have one of YOU win.  I would be content to covet your drawers from afar … in exchange for guilting my husband into entering me next year.

Here’s what you do.  Register on the IMPACT Design Resources website.  Like their Facebook page.  Upload a short video (three minutes or less) or email a letter explaining why Traci Zeller your favorite mom should win.

Just for the record, IMPACT Design Resources is not sponsoring this post and I have no idea who is judging the contest.  I’ve simply been in their awesome showroom and trust me, you totally want to win.  I’m sharing the wealth here, peeps.  So you work on your husbands to enter you and I’ll work on my husband to enter me.  And we’ll just let the chips fall where they may.  

Do you have Mother’s Day plans?

pack for camp! it’s a giveaway!

** this giveaway is closed.  congrats to jordan merricks! **

Y’all already know that I loved, loved, loved Design Camp in Atlanta.  And if you didn’t hear it enough from me, pop over and see what Paloma and Tawna had to say!

One of the things that is so awesome about what Lori Dennis and Kelli Ellis do at Design Camp is that the content is constantly refreshed … which means you can go again and again and learn something new every time.  Which is why I’m sooooo tempted to hop a flight to Seattle — one of my favorite cities — and head to camp again.  I mean, who can turn down a date with Nathan Turner?

What makes me even more excited, however, is that I get to offer that incredible opportunity to one of you!  Yes!!!   Lori and Kelli are so graciously giving a free admission ticket — worth $1,297 — to Design Camp Seattle (May 1-3, 2013) to one very lucky TZD blog reader.  Once again, they have an all-star line-up of “camp counselors” — Nathan, of course, but also Ronda Carman of All the Best blog and author of the soon-to-be released Designers at HomeCassandra LaValle of Coco+KelleyRandall Whitehead, America’s top expert in residential lighting; Leslie Newsom Rascoe, Decoration and Design Editor of Veranda and part of the design team at WisteriaMichael Ragan, renowned designer and owner of RAGS, a design build custom manufacturing company … seriously, the list just goes on and on.  And once again, they’ve got incredible sponsors on board, now including Joss & Main and Williams-Sonoma.

Along with thousands of dollars worth of design education, you’ll get the perfect excuse reason to visit one of the most fabulous places!  On my Seattle agenda would be trips to a Glassybaby store, Great Jones Home (I haven’t been in years, but I hope it is as fabulous as I remember), and Foster/White Gallery.  Aaaaaannnnnnd I just might squeeze in a visit to the flagship Nordstrom.  I love our Charlotte, North Carolina Nordstrom but seriously, it’s a mini.  

Here’s the deal.  Overly complicated giveaways exhaust me, but I want to give you two ways to win.  You’ll get one entry for a comment on any TZD blog post between now and April 2.  You’ll get one entry for any tweet with a link to this post.   Pretty, pretty please use @tracizeller in the tweet so that I can track it … and retweet you!   Easy peasy lemon squeezy.  I’ll draw the winner on April 3.

So who is packing her bags?
