The nice folks at Umbra have made it possible for me to give away not ONE, but TWO, phenomenal products as a way to celebrate my awesome followers! I started this blog almost three years ago, and never thought I would reach such a milestone -- THANK YOU for your support!
I love Umbra products, always have. Before I got into minis, I appreciated their functional and stylish modern aesthetic for what tend to be the more mundane things around the house: garbage cans, towel hooks, kitchen gear. Umbra always made things unexpectedly fun. Once I embarked on my modern miniature hobby, I was able to still use Umbra, but this time by repurposing for sleek environments. I absolutely love the Fish Hotel by Teddy Luong, and have used it many times for scenes, and continue to be entranced by Umbra's consistent craftsmanship and ingenuity. I keep track of all they do -- if you haven't already, bookmark their website, blog, Facebook page, and Twitter feed.
SO...here are the two fun and amazing products for this giveaway:
A BLACK FISH HOTEL, just released. I was so thrilled to see this, and it definitely did not disappoint! This is, of course, intended as a sleek fish tank, but I love the possibilities it offers for modern mini living!
And a set of three TALI WALL TILES. While I will not insist that you use it for mini work, I certainly did... the panels make for quite a dramatic backdrop. They are gorgeous!
Here are the rules:
THE GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!!
*
* You may only comment once, and you must leave your comment by Sunday, October 23, at 11:59 p.m. EDT.
* Once the giveaway closes, I will choose two numbers using the Random Integer Generator. The winning numbers will correspond to the order in which comments were left. The first person drawn wins the FISH HOTEL and the second person wins the TALI WALL TILES. Once I receive the winning addresses, Umbra will ship them to you.
* My domestic and international followers are welcome!
* Have fun and spread the word...Tweet-it, Facebook-it, Blog-it.
A big thanks to UMBRA! Commence commenting!

When I was transferred from Sydney to Canberra back in 1999 I already knew where I was going to be living (I took over the lease on the house where the previous manager had lived). One of the things I treated myself to for my new digs was a grey Umbra swinger trash can. My boss was horrified that I'd spent $80 on a kitchen bin but I justified the cost by saying it was beautiful and would last forever. And, indeed, it's still going strong...
ReplyDeleteI love Umbra! We have it all over our house from the bathrooms to our little white Fish Hotel. The black one is really cool and I had no idea they had the tiles...Awesome! I love the way you used them in your settings!
ReplyDeleteawww man! I have never before heard of Umbra till this post, thanks for the recommendation! I must go shopping more often -_-"
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of your blog. I really want to participate in this giveaway!

I just purchased the new Umbra soap pumps. They are so sleek and pretty! I've been eyeing that fish tank for months now!
ReplyDeleteHi! And WOW! Can`t believe this lucky day!
ReplyDeleteThe UMBRA Fish Hotel looks so gorgeous: now I can understand some of the glorous elegance of your pages! I would like to try if that Fish Hotel could be used as a Art exibition Gallery... :) if I win!

I would love to participate ! It would be perfect to be an office or why not ?a hotel room with fish kind furniture !

ReplyDeleteThanks so much!

yo no conozco los productos Umbra, quizá sea esta una buena oportunidad. me gustaría participar en el sorteo, lo anuncio en mi blog, que también sortea...
ReplyDeleteAnother giveaway....can't believe your generosity. Sadly, the only thing I've ever had from Umbra is the little swing garbage can. I bought it for my son's room thinking the coolness would help with the cleanliness. Not quite, but it is cute. I'm checking the website for ideas...great stuff. Please count me in on the giveaway. AND...THANKS.
ReplyDeleteHey, Um-bra(thless) at the thought of being able to win an Umbra Fish Hotel!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous give away! I am loving the black fish hotel, so cool! I had no idea about the Umbra wall tiles, what a high impact. I am a huge fan of Umbra's clocks, LOVE their Starburst Clock. :D
ReplyDeleteMe encantaría participar. No conozco esos productos, pero se ven fantásticos para hacer algo distinto con ellos. Pongo el link en mi blog.
ReplyDeleteUn beso.
I wish there was an Umbra shop in my country! I have seen the fish hotel before and that lead me to their site, they have gorgeous products and I'll order something from the site sooner or later (I'm not sure if it possible though, I think it's available only in the US, but I'm sure there are other shops)
ReplyDeleteOh! The Umbra Oh Chair! I love it. I haven't been able to get my hands on any of the cute kitchen gadgets like I want to, yet. I'd love that black Fish Hotel! (Win, win, win!)
ReplyDeleteNon conosco i prodotti umbra.....speriamo di vincere così sarà un modo per conoscerli!!!!
ReplyDeletePartecipo con grande piacere a questo meraviglioso e interessante giveaway!!!

I love Umbra products--have two Garbino trash bins, many of their picture frames (including the magnetic ones and the cityscape set), have used many of their hardware items like hooks and shower curtain accessories. Had not seen the Fish Hotel before Call of the Small--but I have a great mini scene in mind for it!
ReplyDeleteUmbra products are modern and functional, and allow my spaces to look great and serve a purpose at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love miniing, but am relatively new to modern projects. Must admit that I haven´t heard of Umbra before (shame on me, I know), but LOVE this black fish tank house !! I like this blog too, have bookmarked it and come back regularly for more !
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Claudia (Hamburg)
Although I don't have any Umbra products yet I've been looking at getting a fish home like this for minis after seeing you use one before. I would love to be considered for your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOK...I am going to try to comment again! If I win, you need to give me some insight on where to hide from the hubby another dollhouse! hee hee hee Melissa
ReplyDeleteAunque no conocía estos productos me gustaría participar, tienen unas ideas geniales
ReplyDeleteGracias!!

ReplyDeleteI have been collecting modern pieces and just waiting for the "perfect" setting". Interesting containers are what usually give me my ideas so this would definately be a new way to design for me. I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI never heard about Umbra.
ReplyDeleteBut I am curious and would like to meet Umbra.
That's why I want to participate in your giveaway. I'm a new follower.

I have actually never used Umbra. However, I have heard of it. I love to play with mini dolls, though, and one of my good friends have bought Umbra before. They bought an $80 Umbra trash can in red, i think and i just hope that you choose me to win the black fish hotel, since thats the one ive had my eye on. Please consider me,
ReplyDeleteM.B
No conozco esos productos, pero es una buena oportunidad para hacerlos servir en una escena-
ReplyDeleteSubo el aviso a mi blog.

Sweet sleek hotel! I may have used umbra for a picture frame. I have also looked at umbra bathroom hook products.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Those are way cool! I have not heard of Umbra either. I live such a sheltered styless life. Ha!
ReplyDeletebrb..
Okay, with my run through, what I would do with Umbra is max out our credit card. =) Great stuff! Love the bird feeder, Chalk Talk Frame, Starburst clock, big time clock (any color).... :D Condolisa side table and the Treble photo frame!!!!
I love that Umbra! Qube is very smart, and i whis i could participate in this giveaway :))
ReplyDeleteHi - I have been lurking and meaning to post for this giveaway, better do it before I forget! Umbra... I'm not sure I've ever purchased any of their items before but have admired pieces I've seen at Bed Bath and Beyond and such places. Do they do one of those vertical bookcases (where you slide in short stacks?) I think that would be the first item I am highly tempted to acquire, after this Fish Hotel of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to umbra-fy my life:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic this giveaway. I love modern minis. Well done. Umbra have nice products as I do have an aquarium.
ReplyDeleteI am brand new to the world of minis and have found your blog truly inspirational! So many styles and pieces to choose from...looking forward to this great adventure!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use that umbra from my next diorama project!
ReplyDeletePrecioso regalo. No conozco el grupo UMBRA, pero veo hacen unas cosas modernas y funcionales.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias por dejarnos participar en el sorteo.
