Fab Freebie: Love Is Blinds

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – scroll down to see who won!***

Sure, we’d all love to gaze out of our home’s windows at some breathtakingly beautiful vista. But in reality, some windows are portals to the back of the neighbor’s fence, an unwelcome glare, or even the view of a man walking around in his tighty-whities all night because he doesn’t realize his curtains are sheer (true story from my New York City days – yup, just like the naked guy from Friends). All the more reason to appreciate window coverings, like these beauties from Next Day Blinds:

This week Next Day Blinds is shucking out $200 to one lucky lad or lady to spend towards any custom-made, premium-quality, ready-the-next-day blinds, shades, sheers, rollers, romans or even shutters. And they’ve got enough styles to make your head spin (which you can browse right here).

Here are the giveaway deets:

  • PRIZE: $200 towards any Next Day Blinds order
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BLIND ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about a view you wish you could cover (or are glad that you’ve already covered). Maybe the neighbors can look right into your bathroom (or vice versa)? Or you once stayed in a hotel room with a not so nice view?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, November 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

******************************

And our one lucky winner (as selected by random.org) is… Hien (who’s looking to cover up some sun-drenched kitchen windows). Congrats!

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Next Day Blinds.

    We used to have the perfect view out our kitchen window until our neighbor installed his satellite dish directly in front of it. Boo!

    I once went to a fancy restaurant overlooking the city streets in a nice part of town. Imagine my surprise when the bathroom wall was a “cloudy” window from floor to ceiling! There were stalls, but a little more privacy would have been nice.

    As soon as we moved in we put up a window film similar to the one yall used in your basement. We knew no one could see into the window due to its height and angle but the adding the window film just made us feel better.

    My husband and I just bought our first home, and we totally fell for the lovely window coverings throughout the main living areas. So much so that we never noticed the awful ones everywhere else! We need help to get some working blinds in our rooms (esp our bedroom to block out the morning sun)!

    BLIND ME! I’d love to get a new window treatment for our master bath window. It’s a huge picture window that faces the street. We currently have a set of too-small blinds hanging on the bottom half of the window to provide privacy. In the mornings, the sun beams in through the exposed top half of the window and nearly blinds us. It’s especially bad when we get the sun’s reflection blinding us from our bathroom mirror. We desperately need a new solution for the bathroom!

    Blind Me! We live in an older home and there is a window in the shower. We have a pull down shade that I have always pulled halfway to the ‘filmed’ glass on the bottom, that is until a few days ago when I was outside in the evening while the hubs was taking a shower and could see more than I would want to show through the ‘filmed’ glass! Needless to say that baby is always pulled ALL the way down!

    Just found your blog and LOVE it!

    Three years after an extensive remodel and addition (that was highlighted (NOT!) by a lawsuit against our builder), I have yet to have window coverings in my office. Not a problem most of the year, but in the winter, in the early afternoon, I get a terrible glare on my laptop screen. Due to my procrastination, three kids, full-time job and lack of inspiration, I find myself angling my screen and contorting my body for about 90 minutes every day. I need this!!!

    Our house is secluded, but then again, not- when it’s dark out, you can absolutely see into our house from the busy road we live on. We’d love to have nice blinds to protect us from anyone who’s far away enough that we can’t see them- but they can still see us!
