• Enter here daily through Sept. 30 to win a new Shaw Floors HGTV Home area rug of any size

    rug for a bungalowUpdate: Contest now closed. Emily was the lucky winner — chosen by random number generator. She responded to my email and is choosing her rug. I’ll check back with her later to see if I can get a photo. Thanks, everyone, and also to Shaw Floors!…

    Tracy was the winner of the special summer giveaway of a new Shaw Floors HGTV area rug — and she chose this Juneau design (above) for her bungalow. It looks great… and do I spy with my little eye a cutie petutie pooch on that sofa? He’ll sure be happy for a cozy rug on the floor.

    Readers, I promised another giveaway, and here it is. Through midnight Sept. 30, you can enter here daily to win an area rug of any size from the new line. (You can read more about my trip to the launch event here.) I loved everyone’s poems last time, so I encourage you leave a comment that’s fun and rhyme-y. But, if you’re not game for that, just comment saying gimme. Note: I pick the winner by Random Number Generator, so while creativity will be admired and applauded by me and all your peers, you’re ode-ing for the journey, not the prize. U.S. and Canada only. (And remember that separately, you can also enter to win Shaw’s daily giveaway on their Facebook page, by voting in their 30 Days of HGTV home design competition.) Good luck, and thanks to Shaw for donating this prize in conjunction with the introduction of their new HGTV Home lineup.

      Sprocket says he’d love that rug &
      our mid century modern home would surely
      rock it.

    2. Kelsey says:

      I’ll take that rug!

    3. kim says:

      I want a rug,
      My cat wants one more,
      So he won’t sleep,
      On a cold, bare floor.

      Winter is coming,
      The wood floor feels chilled,
      A rug would be cozy,
      My kids would be thrilled.

      Sucks, I know…but I tried.

    4. Yah! It’s beautiful!

    5. Danny Proctor says:

      As a fan of HGTV as well as Retro Renovation, I would be absolutely floored if I won this magic carpet for my cabin home. Hope to get a winning notification soon! Thanks for the opportunity!

    6. Kat says:

      Our 1978 tri-level, which we’re slowly dragging back in time a few decades, desperately needs a hip rug. I’m feeling lucky today — scored some Turner Wall Accessory art at a yard sale for $1 a piece for four kooky Jamaican musicians and dancers panels.

    7. Shirley Joiner says:

      Astro is definitely a Wonder Dog! But if you’re wondering how my Weezy, the Wonder Cat, would look on a beautiful Shaw carpet, please pick me. :) Gimme!

    8. Jennifer says:

      Oh, my, this would be the end of me! Whenever I bring something new in the house it brings on a major redecorating bug! I reorganized my whole kitchen over just a new plant from Trader Joe’s. A new rug may just do me in…..

    9. Margaret says:

      My rug is “white” shag……..need I say more………

    10. Renee Crabtree says:

      Gimmie gimmie gimmie with a cherry on top.

    11. Amber says:

      I’m remodeling my house to bring back 50s vavoom.
      Soon there will be new naugahyde in the rumpus room.
      After the painters complete the floor and the seams,
      And the lighting is re-wired to highlight the beams,
      My mid-century home will need some decor,
      Including big rugs to add “pop” to the floor!

    12. Greg says:

      An area rug would tie my living room together nicely!

    13. Erin Hall says:

      Fancy that! Golly Gee!
      We desperately need that Shaw Rug, please!

      The reason is, and this is good–
      our music rooms’ got floors of wood!
      And when we practice our sweet songs,
      Well, something must be going wrong.
      Instead of sweet tunes– dare i say–
      Acoustics ring every-which-way!!!
      It hurts my ears and numbs my nose–
      How in the world can I compose?!?

      But, wait a minute– rugs love sound!
      They take it in– and gobble it down!
      A Rug’s exactly what we need!
      …ESPECIALLY that HGTV!
      (to match my Turner wall accessories…)

      So if we win– we hope we might–
      We’ll make sweet music day and night!
      :)

    14. Amy Kehoe says:

      Yes, please!

    15. Elly says:

      I wanna win, but I’m not good at rhyming

    16. Amy Harvey says:

      A rug is just the thing I need to hide the parquet floor … and SHAW is just the company I happen to adore!!

    17. Dab Zagurny says:

      Rug, yes!

    18. Fancy that! Golly Gee!
      We’d love to win a Shaw rug, please!

      The reason why–and this is good–
      Our music room’s got floors of wood.
      And when we practice our sweet songs,
      Well, something must be going wrong!
      Instead of sweet tunes—dare I say,
      Acoustics ring ev’ry-which-way!
      It hurts my ears and numbs my nose!
      How in the world can I compose?!?

      Hey, wait a minute—rugs love sound!
      They take it in, and gobble it down!
      In fact, a rug’s just what we need–
      Especially that HGTV!
      (to match our Turner Wall accessories…)

      And if we win – we hope we might—
      We’ll make sweet music day and night!
      :)

      I’ve never entered an online contest but thought I had nothing to loose and everything to gain. I’ve never heard of Shaw rugs either so how exciting to be apart of this contest.

      Good luck to everyone.
