And remember too that by commenting on that post you’ll be entering to win one of ten great prizes! Really, I’m a little jealous.

Good luck in the giveaway, and I hope to see you tomorrow on Twitter! We’ll have tons of solutions and advice for you, so be sure to follow along with #AmexHome to participate in the chat. Of course, feel free to follow John (@JohnGidding) and I (@makingitlovely) as well.

Twitter Chat with John Gidding, and a HUGE Giveaway!

You remember the lovely bedroom redesign that I did with the help of Membership Reward Points from American Express, yes? Well now I am working with them again to host a Twitter Chat with HGTV designer John Gidding. John will be giving tons of advice next Thursday on how to decorate and find creative ways to stretch your budget — just like I did using my points.

John and I will be on Twitter for one hour on Thursday, July 29 at 8:30p.m. EST/ 5:30 p.m. PST (search #AmexHome). John will be answering your home design questions about anything from creating amazing guest spaces to choosing the right colors for your home. He’ll also have plenty of inexpensive ways to get your home ready for sale and ideas for upgrading rooms on a tight budget.

Now, you may have noticed the whole HUGE giveaway thing we’ve got going on here…
