This week we have such a fun and quirky giveaway!! One lucky winner will get all six of these items from imm Living (a $300 value). I had so much fun working with the folks from imm Living on this project, and styled/photographed these pieces in my home to show you how I’ve used them (they generously gave me a set, too!). Be sure to check out Coco + Kelley and The Everygirl for their imm Living giveaways this week.
Also, Burke Decor is offering a 15% discount with code: CHOOCHOO.
There are three ways to enter (that means you can enter up to 3 times!):
1. Leave a comment on this post telling us what your favorite piece is, or how you’d use these items in your own home.
2. Like imm Living on facebook and leave an additional comment letting us know you did so (or, that you already do).
3. Like Mint on facebook and leave a additional comment letting us know you did so (or, that you already do).
Please note: Your comment may not show up immediately. That’s ok; please don’t leave another one. We’ll go through our spam folder and resurrect any wayward comments before the giveaway ends. Giveaway ends at midnight EST on Sunday, May 12th and the randomly chosen winner will be announced on Monday the 13th.
* Limited to US readers only.

UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS CLOSED.
I was so excited about last week’s Cinco de Mayo place cards that I had a sudden urge to put fringe on everything. A very special little girl’s birthday is coming up soon – so I added some layers of red, pink and white fringe to a boring craft paper wrap job. Now how pretty it is!
All you need to do is cut tissue paper in strips, fold it over on itself a few times, cut fringe, unfold and glue on. I used quick-drying craft glue and it was perfect. Once the glue is dry, gently ruffle the fringe to give it a little lift. (Happy Birthday, Scarlet!)

With Spring in the air it’s hard to not want to make every room as bright and airy as humanly possible. This apartment up for sale in Stockholm is just too cute, and while all the MIYO suggestions are for new items, you could totally make this room your own with all vintage items on a reasonable budget. Have you ever gone bold and painted trim a bright color? I know what I’ll be trying this weekend!
