Velvet and Linen is doing a great giveaway for a coffee table from Bobo Intriguing Objects.
Recently she asked her readers to send her pictures of their rooms that they thought the coffee table would look good in if they wanted to win it. She received almost 200 entries, so she asked some bloggers including myself to be a judge. I selected my top ten and two of them made the top ten. Here they are…In Melissa L.’s room below the furniture proportions are nice, it’s not overly fussy which is the right kind of room for this table, and I love her curtain color. The fireplace looks interesting and a pretty color as well.
If I could vote twice I would vote for both, but I voted for Katie D. today (room below). I like both rooms but I think the look of the coffee table is better suited in the room below. I like the layered rugs, all the books and magazines so organized with the bookshelves all being used . There is a nice mix of furniture frames and she took a lot of thought with the accessories which can really add to the room. The throws on the wing chair, Jackie O. on the top of the magazine basket, the fun lamp and the framed music manuscript. The table looks like it would fit well in the room and the dimensions are right. Nice work Melissa L. and Katie D. and good luck to both.
Thanks to Brooke for including me in the panel. Now it’s your turn to go vote from the top. Click HERE to go to her blog. The top three will be awarded on her blog next week. Let me know who you vote for!

I LOVE BOBO’S Things!!-
one lucky winner!!
Ok, I am so pathetic. Every time I read someone’s explanation of why they chose their favorite room I want to vote for that room! This is why I let my bloggy friends select the 10 finalist. There were so many great rooms that would be enhanced by the Brickmaker’s table.
Thank you Laura for your help. I am so incredibly fortunate to have your support and friendship.

Brooke picked a great judge. You have such an eye. Going to go vote.
Laura, all I could remember were the blue curtains. And here I visit you and you also refer to the curtains! That is how I voted – and Brooke is lucky to have you as a judge!
Happy week and happy Thanksgiving!
OX, Mon
You need to be on a show, you have such a keen eye Laura.
Love your winners.

I have been so out of the loop that I am just catching up on this contest, but I love the rooms you chose, Laura. Both are great looking – I love the bookshelves, but also love the simplicity of the other room – looks like it is in the country somewhere with a great view. Oh well, I had better scoot on over to Velvet and Linen and see what I have been missing. Have a great Thanksgiving. P.S. Got my Vandy girl home with me this week!
These two rooms were on my shortlist, but I thought they already looked great with what they had, so I picked more ‘deserving’ candidates – but I probably should have just picked the ones that I thought were the prettiest! I love the one with all of the magazines and that illuminated manuscript looking wall art.
Love Katie’s design too! The cowhide rug adds such warmth and texture to the room. The all white bookshelves with hints of color is brilliant. She mixes it up well.

Brooke chose a great person for her panel, Laura! I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
That’s so exciting Brooke asked you to judge and you certainly selected deserving rooms-please keep me posted on the winner!
