We love reinventing furniture and creating our own DIY projects by using IKEA products as the basis for our new designs. Now, we want to see how you would personalize your IKEA products and style your space. We're hosting a Pinterest contest giving you a chance to show us what IKEA products you would customize and what inspiration you would use to style it —think colorblocking, fabric swatches, metallics, wallpapers . . . the sky's the limit!

See the instructions below on how to build out a Pinterest board and show us how you would complete your project and style a new space in the place you call home. Our editors will then select their favorite board and give out a $500 gift card to IKEA to make those projects happen.

To Enter:
1. Follow CasaSugar on Pinterest
2. Create a Pinterest Board titled "Styled By" and build out your inspiration board
3. Make sure you pin one or more products from IKEA and design materials from CasaSugar that will help complete your project (minimum 20 pins, please)
4. Hashtag each of your pins with #styledby
5. Share the URL link to your "Styled By" board in the comments below

Be sure to enter by May 22. We're excited to see what inspires your project! Check out the official rules here.

Have you started using Instagram yet? It's a great way to share photos with your friends — and with us! In a nutshell, Instagram is a free photo-sharing application. You take photos with your iPhone or iPad, apply a vintage filter, and then share your snapshots on the service and through other sites including Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr. This photo is from The StyleSafari's Instagram, which she shared with us by tagging it with #casasnap.

Want to share photos with us? First, follow CasaSugar on Instagram. Then, when you upload your photos, make sure to tag your photos with #casasnap and we may feature your snapshots on CasaSugar as part of our Lovely Little Vignettes community group.

Have you done any decorating in your home lately? Laid down a new rug? Integrated a gallery wall of new artwork? Added Spring pop to your kitchen with new painted cabinets? Whatever it is, I want to see it!

Show off all of your shots of your home, both interior and exterior, in my group Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening. A Su Casa post could be anything from a photo of a loved one's home to a tiny nook you're tickled by. Think of it as a look book for home style. If I see something I like in Su Casa, I might ask you if I can feature it on CasaSugar.
