Who Likes Free Stuff?

So, as promised, here we go with the first ever Home Sweet Split Level Giveaway! The nice folks over at All Modern contacted us and asked if we were interested in teaming up with them in a fun giveaway. If you don't know about All Modern, they are a great resource for all of your modern needs. All Modern has a fantastic selection of modern furniture and home accessories from many leading designers. Part of CSN Stores, All Modern is just one of over 260 retail sites that offer a diverse array of products from Herman Miller’s popular Aeron Chair to cookware by Rachael Ray.

So without any further ado, lets get started. Let's start with the good stuff. Instead of us telling you what you can win, All Modern let us choose a variety of prizes, all with values around $75.00. If you win, you will get to choose one of the following fantastic products:
George Kovacs - 4.5" One Light Vanity Wall Sconce

This is an amazing one light bath sconce from George Kovacs that is truly unlike any other sconce you can find. It features a sleek antique nickel finish and an acid etched glass shade.

George Kovacs - 12.5" Wall Sconce in Brushed Nickel

This is an exquisite one light bath wall sconce that will look great in your bathroom. It's unimposing and should blend well with your bathroom decor. This particular sconce features a brushed nickel finish and a slender cased etched opal glass shade.

George Kovacs - Seven Light Table Lamp

A bold step in the future of lighting brought to you by George Kovacs. This wonderful seven light table lamp (15.5" H x 13" diameter) will add excitement to any room as the seven lights appear to be growing from its base. Place this lamp on any table and watch as it quickly becomes a conversation starter.

Nuvem Wire Flower Vase by Fratelli Campana


Nuvem Wire Flower Vase (6.7" H x 3.9" W x 3.9" D). Brothers, and long time partners, Humberto and Fernando Campana make up the dynamic design team “Fratelli Campana.” Their signature Brazilian touch to the design world, significantly emphasizing their take on European design with each work. Their forms are hallmarked by the usage of materials in their raw state and experimentation with poor and recycled matter. The vase is available is Anodized Aluminum, Gold and Blue.

Alessi - Honey Pot by Theo Williams

English designer Theo Williams, known internationally for his tremendous achievements in consumer product design, crafted this piece of functional art in 1995. It's made of clear crystal and mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel (7.75"H x 3.5" diameter). It features a wand to serve, stir or spread honey that is cleverly attached to the inside of the crystal jar's lid. That way, honey stays inside the honey jar at all times. Plus, it is so attractive, with its hive-style horizontal ribbing, that you can display it with even the most formal of your table settings.

Menu - Pernille Vea Black Milk and Sugar Set with Spoon

The Milk and Sugar Set with Spoon is perfect for any kitchen. The milk pitcher holds a half-liter, and the sugar bowl conceals an accompanying sugar spoon that is held in place by the lid. All of the set's pieces are made of porcelain of the highest quality, fired at 1320 degrees Celsius, ensuring strength, durability, and an easy to clean surface.

CAKE - Node Bowl

An elegant play of light and shadow, the Node Bowl (3.5" H x 11.75" W x 11.75" D ) is as useful as it is beautiful. This bowl makes a great sculpture, but also makes an elegant display for fruits, vegetables or dried flowers. Available in chrome or white, this bowl will be a great conversation piece.

Nuvem Wire Mat by Fratelli Campana

Nuvem (16.9" W x 14.6" D) is an experiment in wire-working, featuring matte aluminum wire that has been tangled and twisted, squashed and then spun to achieve its signature look that again fuses pandemonium with poetry, and embodies their unique experimental approach to design.

Menu - Jakob Wagner Wine Cooler

Elegant and practical, the Wine Cooler (8.7" h) by Jakob Wagner is great to have on hand. Keeping drinks cold, this bucket collects condensation and is a joy to the eye for any occasion.

Now that you have seen what you can win, I’m sure you’re asking “What do I need to do to win?” There are three ways in which you can win. You may do one or all three options, the more options you do, the better your odds will be as each option will count as an entry into the drawing for you.

  1. Oooh!! I am already in love with your blog! Thanks for the iNeighbors blast about it and about the giveaway. I have subscribed to the post RSS feed.

    We met briefly at the tour of homes. You guys were chatting with Cindi and she introduced us. My husband, Len, and I live just a few houses away on Summitridge.

    I love the pictures you have posted and am so looking forward to bringing our house closer to the true mid-century feel we love so much. You guys are an inspiration!

    My email address (ooooh!! I hope I win!!) is hometocalifornia@gmail.com.

  2. Hey Jeff and Jordan!

    I've been stalking your blog for a while already, hope this counts. :) I also put a link to the contest on my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/macgeekbrian).

    The George Kovacs 12.5" sconce is awesome...would be great (in a pair) for the new bathroom vanity. I'm pretty sure this is the same series as the vanity bar I saw in someone else's blog but have not yet been able to find.

    Funny coincidence, too, that's what we were looking for when we ran into you at Lowe's yesterday!

    Thanks to you guys (and All Modern) for helping spread the word about our great neighborhood!!! See ya at the pool!

  3. Great to see more publicity for the neighborhood and mid-century homes! Great job guys. It's funny because just yesterday my wife pointed out your new front porch light. Looks perfect!

    I would love to win the George Kovacs - Seven Light Table Lamp as our upstairs loft area is kinda cavernous right now.
    My email is monkeysatan@mac.com

    Thanx and keep it up!

  8. Hey, great blog! So glad to see our neighbors so active in the blogosphere. We live on Hidden Acres next door to Northcrest - not an atomic ranch but a very contemporary (well, 80's-style) house all the same. Love the unique milk & sugar set - great way to dress up a rather humdrum tabletop accessory. Definitely adding your blog to my "Favorites" list, and I hope to meet y'all at the NS&TC some day!
