Facebook Giveaway: Win the Pillow Featured in This Old House

We've got two very exciting announcements today. First, several Alluminare products have been featured in the December issue of This Old House magazine! Second, our fan page is up and running on Facebook!

In This Old House news, we're one of the magazine's "secret sources" for 2009. The This Old House team knows that personalizing your interior is always a good idea. To help their readers do just that, they recommend "5 ways to get a custom look" - including designing your own lighting, upholstery fabric, wallpaper, and pillows on Alluminare.com.

The article fatures Napa wallpaper and a throw pillow, both in sand dollar, ochre, white, and charcoal gray. It's a great combination - a fresh and fun play on traditional florals:

We couldn't agree more with This Old House - Alluminare products are a great (and easy) way to add some custom flair to any home. We love all things This Old House and couldn't be more excited about being included in the issue. Check it out on the newsstands now!

As if the This Old House excitement wasn't enough, we've also been plugging away, launching our Facebook fan page. Facebook is a fantastic way to stay in touch - and not just with old friends. Become a Facebook fan of Alluminare and you'll be the first to hear about upcoming sales, new products and designs, and what's going on behind the scenes at Alluminare.

And how do these two things relate, you ask? With a contest, of course! If you're one of our first 100 fans on Facebook, you'll have the opportunity to win the pillow featured in This Old House! Here's the official contest announcement:

Become a Facebook fan of Alluminare, and post your quick, easy, and affordable DIY home improvement tips on the wall of our new Facebook Page. One lucky person will win the pillow featured in the December issue of This Old House Magazine's Secret Sources 2009 feature! (A striking Napa pattern in white, ochre, sand dollar and charcoal grey- worth $100) The contest will be open until we reach 100 fans on Facebook.

The tip need not be involved - in fact, the simpler the better! Do you have a go-to tool that can solve just about any problem? What are your quick fixes at home? How do you keep organized, or update your design on the fly? Share your tips with the Alluminare community and you just might win that pillow!
