Fab Freebie: A Room With The View
If any of you are addicted to The View, Thom Filicia or Kimberly-Clark products then you probably already know what I’m about to say. The three have teamed up for a Room-A-Day Giveaway where 16 lucky winners will be chosen to receive $25,000 (!!!) to transform a space in their home. They announced the first winner today on The View, but you can still enter once-a-day here until March 6th for your chance to take home the cold hard cash.
And while we can’t help you win the 25k, we do have a special prize to give away right here: a copy of Thom Filicia’s latest book, Thom Filicia Style, along an eco-friendly bag filled with a slew of Kimberly-Clark products (think Kleenex, Cottonelle, Scott, Huggies, etc).
You may know Thom from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, or his current show (a Sherry favorite) Dress My Nest. In case you’re not familiar with his magical makeover powers, you can see how he transformed the dated dressing rooms at The View to help kick off the sweepstakes. Here’s the blah before:

Book me! I’d redo our master bathroom, the wall-to-wall carpeting is pushing me to my breaking point!
BOOK ME! I would makeover the bedroom!!
Book me!
Book me.
I think I would make over my master bedroom. We have a lovely bedframe that I adore, but that’s where the love ends. Some downy pillows and bedding, and some new bureaus, would be just what the doctor ordered!
Book Me!!
I would love to win either prize! If I won the $$ I would really love to redo our master bathroom. The house we purchased last year was built in the 70s and has a long skinny tiny bathroom with this unnessecary deep closet attached. I would like to tear it all out and make a big master bath with a separate shower and tub!
BOOK ME
I would love to re-do my kitchen or my family room!
Book me!
My next room make-over project will probably be our central staircase — it has a large, mid-flight landing that connects to my wife’s office (over our garage) and the “personal” upstairs. It’s just a huge canvas of wall right now, and with some pictures, some small furniture on the landing, and maybe an art-y piece or two on the large, vertical wall on the landing, it could really open up and “bring together” our house.
BOOK ME!
I need $25,000 for this weird room we have that really would look nice with a sectional, a rug, a media console and a TV but in actuality only has an ikea pleather chair and a wicker basket filled with toys. It’s pretty sad.
Book me! Please?
I love to cook. It’s like therapy for me. And I am just dying to do a proper makeover to my dated, 1960s galley kitchen!
BOOK ME!! I would totally makeover our den/loft upstairs where we spend most of our time, but where we have relegated our oldest, most handmade furniture. It defnitely needs a change of pace.
Book Me! I would make over our tiny kitchen – any little help it could get would drastically improve the 1980s kitchen!
BOOK ME! I would love to get some swanky new living room furniture!
BOOK ME! My kitchen, which really isn’t that bad, but could be oh so much better with some space redesign!
BOOK ME! I’d love to ditch my mother in law’s bed and finally decorate our master bedroom in the new house!
BOOK ME!! The $$ would go a long way toward adding a much needed bathroom to our 100 year old farmhouse.
BOOK ME!
I don’t own a house yet (SAD), but I already have my own dream mood board drawn up for my bedroom, so that’s probably the room I’d spend the money on.
Book Me!!!
I would use the money to makeover our back patio and back yard. We live in Florida, so we use it year round and just love hanging out with friends out there.
BOOK ME!! Which room…which room?? Oh, what a dilemma! I only hope it becomes my dilemma!! I would probably go with the kitchen.
BOOK ME!
I would hire someone (anyone?!?) to help me make over my kitchen. I’m trying, but I can’t get the stupid blinds into their little brackets. It looks so easy in the diagrams.
BOOK ME!
Does it have to be an actual “room—inside the house”? If the extended “room” beyond our patio doors counts, I’d re-do my “outside room”, my patio area–for outdoor entertaining.
If I’m way off course, then I’d have to pick our living room/great room area. It’s only been 3 yrs. since we’ve built our house, but the layout of this area stumps me and it could use some re-vamping and freshening up.
Thanks for the heads-up and chance at a fun giveaway!
Book Me!
I would have to do something with the basement…the drum kit just isn’t doing it for me (sorry husband!)
BOOK ME!
One room? Nah. I’d use my nose for bargains and husband’s Lowe’s discount to redo at least 2 rooms- our guest bedroom and my office.
BOOK ME! PLEASE!
I’d love to redo our living room.. or kitchen…. either way, I’d LOVE to win!!
BOOK ME! Pretty please? If I won, I would re-do our bedroom. I’d love to get rid of all our hand-me-downs.
Please, please, please….I need some good readin’ advice!
BOOK ME! My family is growing (yay!!) so we need to finish the basement so the kiddies have a place to play :)
Book Me! Our basement is in great need of a total overhaul :)
BOOK ME!
I’d get the lounge done… first room you walk into.
BOOK ME!!
BOOK MEEE!
BOOK ME!
I’d get our basement bathroom done- there’s actually DIRT for floors right now…
BOOK ME! I would make over our Master Bedroom. It is very sad.
Book me! Does it have to be just one room? How about the outside? Yes, definitely the yard.
BOOK ME! I would totally make over the kitchen of the house we are looking at buying! Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, maybe some heated floors for the puppies to sleep on!
BOOK ME!!! I would love to redo my “office.” I currently am set up in our super small living room. I do photography and would love more desk space and storage space while I’m at it. Right now, I’m trying to find a great desk, simple, but smart! :) You guys are awesome!
BOOK ME!!!!
Because of these hard economic times, we have no choice but to move back in with my parents to get back on our feet. I would totally make over their kitchen because it’s painfully UN-user friendly and not space efficient. With 8 people living under one roof, it will definitely need some help!
Love your blog!
BOOK ME! I would do my living room. We have a family room as well & don’t want 2 rooms so an idea & makeover for that would be grrrrrrr-eat!
Book Me
BOOK ME!
My living room needs so much help- we’ve been living here for 7 years and it still looks like we just moved in/ or that we’re moving out! People (when they manage to get in) always ask us that! Sooooo embarrassing!
Book me! I just bought a place, and it’s not very big – I could probably do more than one space. First thing would be to get rid of my dark dark brown kitchen cabinets and strange yellow laminate counter and backsplash. If there’s room left over I’d retile the bathroom floor, too!
Book me!
We’d redo our living room and patio area so that we would feel more comfortable welcoming guests over. We always have trouble welcoming people into our space since its mostly setup for the two of us to hang out, watch tv, play games…
BOOK ME!
I would love to have our kitchen made over with more counter space, a bigger oven and better lights.
BOOK ME! I’d make over what we call the “service porch”, inspired by a random memory from many years of watching the Brady Bunch after school on TBS. It’s actually just a den, where we spend a lot of time but haven’t spent a lot of energy decorating.
BOOK ME! I would make over our kitchen. It’s generally ok but not modern in style, something we can’t afford to change now!
book me ! Please :)
Book ME!
I’d love to make over my finished basement into a fabulous screening room!
BOOK ME!!!
book me :o)
i’m moving upstairs into my roommates room when she moves out this month. she has painted an accent wall in the small room brick red. yeah…going to be making that over REAL QUICK.
Book Me!!!
I’d love to redo my kitchen. I have 80′s oak cabinets and almond-colored laminate countertops that need to be replaced.
BOOK ME =)
I would definitely do-over my kitchen. I think the cabinets are the originals from when our house was built in the 80s. We also have limited counter space and not enough cabinets to hold all of the many kitchen gadets we have accumulated.
Book Me! I would have to redo my master bedroom and bath. It’s very white and very plain and very boring. Definitely not the cozy romantic sanctuary I want it to be.
