Celebrating One Year + Trina Turk Giveaway

It's hard to believe it's been one year since I launched Modern Chic Home! What began as a new business venture into the unknown, has blossomed into something so much more than I ever thought possible. I had no idea where this journey was going to take me, but so far, it's been pretty incredible. I owe the success of my business to my fabulous customers, my dear readers, fellow bloggers and entrepreneurs alike, who have each contributed in their own way to supporting my dream. And to show my appreciation, I'll be giving away something from Modern Chic Home today, tomorrow and Friday! Lots of love and gratitude to each and every one of you. Cheers! xoxo - Julie

GIVEAWAY DAY #1:  Trina Turk Residential  Lator Gator Hook Rug in Blue ($195 value!)

This super chic accent rug was featured in the July issue Real Simple magazine! It's hand-hooked rug and made of 100% wool which gives it a lot of texture. It's approx 3' x 5' in size in blue, turquoise, green, chocolate brown & cream. I have one that's pictured here in my apartment. I actually have it placed in front of my cocktail table, but pulled it closer to the sofa to take this photo. It's a great size for a large bathroom, at the foot of a bed, under a comfy chair with a side table, or in an entry way.

My kitty Jada LOVES this rug...a little too much (she thinks it doubles as a scratching pad).

RULES: So, how do you go about winning this, you ask?! It's simple: either visit Modern Chic Home and leave a comment on what your favorite item is ~ OR ~  if you've already purchased something from us, leave a comment on the item and what you like about it. To earn a double entry, tweet and/or facebook about this giveaway and leave another comment letting me know. The winner will be announced on Monday, October 25th! Good luck and stop by again tomorrow and Friday to see what else we're giving away!

  66. I love that Trina Turk rug! If I won it, I would have to buy another one and put them together in my living room :) I have to say my absolute favorite thing in your store is the set of paris salon mirrors. I think they would be a glamorous addition to my 490 sq. ft. condo. On the walls and out of reach from my dear, clumsy hubby and 3yr old son. Ah, it's good to be queen :)
