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.

To enter to win Thom Filicia’s amazing new book and the eco-bag of Kimberly-Clark goodies, just comment on this post with the words “BOOK ME” by Wednesday, Feb 4th at 8pm EST. And while you’re at it, why not tell us what room you’d make over in your home if you won the grand prize.

We’ll announce one, randomly chosen winner by the end of the week. And don’t forget to enter to win the grand prize over at the Room-A-Day Giveaway while you’re at it. Good luck everyone!

    I would makeover our bathroom. We have one bathroom and it’s grody. Whose idea was it to butt the vanity up to the tub so that you can’t close the shower curtain all the way, and the vanity gets wet and moldy on the side? Geniuses.

    Its hard to determine a specific room that needs sprucing, we just moved into our house a year ago and I’m still in love with just owning a house. If I had to choose, I would like to spice up our 3rd bedroom/office to make it a more functional and appealing space.

    I’d love to do over our bedroom… it’s so “eh”. We’ve focused on other areas of the house that our guests usually see, but it would be great to walk into a spa-like bedroom at the end of the day…..

    Wow, $25,000 on one room?! I guess I would have to go with either the kitchen or the master bath. $25,000 is a lot of money for one room so I wouldn’t want to waste it on a living room or bedroom!!!

    Book Me, please! I have an apartment in an old bank. Unfortunately, it still looks a little too much like a business to be “homey.” I would refinish my living room which looks more like a long hallway than anything.

    Book me. I’m in the process of redoing my kitchen — but I already have my plan. However, I’d love to redo my guest bedroom/home office. It’s a big room and plenty big to fit both. But it’s the most “hodge podge” room in my house — no real plan or design — just functionality!

    If I won the grand prize I would probably make over my kitchen/dining room area. It is pretty nice as is but I wouldn’t mind making some changes if I had extra money.
