introducing my bed… (and a sleep number giveaway!).
You guys. Today is a big, big day. I woke up in my OWN bed. No joke. This is huge for me. Do you realize I’ve been living with my in-laws for two years? And sleeping in the tiny bed my husband slept in when he was 15? Yes. Enter saintly congratulatory comments below.
EDIT: Martha from Scottdale, GA — you are our winner! Sleep Number will be emailing you shortly, and congrats!
Anyway, our HGTV.com renovation is in the home stretch, and I am so crazy excited to move in. I mentioned a few weeks ago that our Sleep Number bed arrived, and then last week? Our gorgeous bedding showed up on our doorstep. And although I really want to wait until a few last minute jobs are completed to 100% call this place home, I couldn’t help snoozing in such a cozy bed.
So, to celebrate… (hurry and sit down). I’m giving away a Sleep Number bed. Actually, my Sleep Number friends are giving it away, but I’m helping. And it’s our biggest giveaway yet. Did I mention it’s a Sleep Number? Gracious. I’m pumped.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling. Here’s how to enter:
1. Sign up for a Sleep Number newsletter (they send you awesome deals, discounts and don’t spam. Promise.)
2. Enter ‘designformankind‘ in the “How Did You Hear About Us” section or you won’t be eligible to win. For serious. Don’t forget that part.
3. Wait by your inbox. I’ll announce the winner in THREE WEEKS. Are you psyched? Me, too.
The bed you’ll receive (should you be the lucky winner!) is a P7, the exact model I have in my own home. Value is nearly $3,000. You lucky things, you.
GOOD LUCK!

can’t wait to see images of the entire house all polished.

Dang, what an amazing giveaway!
i babysat for a family two weeks ago that had this bed. it was a crazy 24 hour babysitting gig (that i’ll never do again), but i got to sleep in their bed. so much fun! after playing around with my “number” i finally went to sleep and man o man. you’re so awesome to be sharing the love of good sleep with this giveaway! and high-five to you for getting through 2 years of living with the in-laws! :)
oh, i know the sawdust saga all too well. Definitely worth it and I’m sure it’s worth the wait too.
Sleep well tonight!
Best giveaway ever! My bed is far, far too old… and way, way too firm! I’m a ‘soft and smushy’ fan, and my husband’s taste is more ‘concrete slab.’
Oooooh! And, I can’t wait to see the finished product in all it’s glory!
yay! to your new bed and this giveaway! i’ve been on the search for a new mattress..i’m entering!
sweet dreams!
So excited to see your house completed!!

I’m so happy for you that the renovation is almost complete!
Gorgeous! I’d love to be able to kiss my old, fugly & uncomfortable mattress goodbye. Thanks for the tip.
how exciting for you! nothing beats sleeping in your own bed so i can just imagine how happy you are after two years! i just entered the giveaway and am crossing my fingers and toes, even!
I’ve been NEEDING a new mattress. Seriously. Been sleeping on a futon from IKEA since college. That’s about years now, yikes! It is TIME. Thanks for the awesome chance to win a new bed :) xo
Congratulations on getting to sleep in your own bed! What an awesome feeling. And, thanks for hosting the contest. Crossing my fingers that my insomniac self will win the big prize!
is this giveaway open to canadians?
(please please please!)
SO exciting!! And I REALLY want that bed. Those things are crazy comfortable.
No lie, when I was signing up for the newsletter, my 18 year old mattress creaked, groaned, and a spring boinged, right into my lower back. LOL.
I just wanted to say hello, I love your blog, hope your new place is amazing, and I would be so excited to win this bed! <3
WOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOOO! x
yay! good luck everyone!
i hope mr. sandman is routing for us!
Whoa! Congratulations! What a trooper- two years w the in-laws? I need to buy some futures in your marriage! Can’t wait to see the big reveal!!!
I really need a bed – mine is passed down from 2 generations of previous medical students. My back hurts often in the hospital :( I like yours a lot. Can you, me and Sleep Number dudes be friends so I can get a new bed?
congratulations! I know the feeling of waking up for the first time in your own bed, in your own room, in your own house, so so amazing!
Jeez…I had NO idea how long you were at the in-laws’ place! Sleeping in the teenage bed was probably cute…for like one night. :-) Congrats on having your big girl bed!
maybe i’m just having issues, but when i signed up for the newsletter, there was no “how did you hear about us” section. i signed up anyway hoping it would come up somewhere after, but it didn’t. i signed up AGAIN, and put it in the messages field, but i have no idea if i’m entered or not? nobody else is reporting an issue, so i’m afraid this is a user error…
hi christina — hold tight. it looks like an admin error on sleep number’s part! i’ll keep you posted…
