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…

I have a patio/room (similar to yours but with next door neighbors) i would love a nicer looking, privacy providing blind to keep the neighrbors from waving at my while I’m sitting there in my PJ’s.
Our current bamboo blinds are pretty much see through in the daylight.
Bret says
Blind Me!
Taylor says
BLIND ME! We’re in a new house… no blinds yet! This would be amazing!
Candice says
BLIND ME!
I want to cover the view up the pool right outside our condo.
Siobhan says
BLIND ME!
We constructed two free standing wood screens to block our neighbors on both sides. No more ‘fishbowl’ backyard for us!
Amy says
BLIND ME!! Our full length bathroom window is in full view of the neighborhood park that sits behind our house – not cool. so we have some craptastic blinds up now that get the job done in providing privacy, but they are U-G-L-Y without an alibi :/ i hope i win!!!! :)
Melissa says
BLIND ME!!
We added on a new bedroom that gets lots of great light. Unfortunately, one of the windows looks right at our trash storage. I’d love some plantation shutters to mask it!
Julie W. says
Blind Me! Our dining room window is the only one uncovered, but it desperately needs blinds. It faces the street so everyone can see us and our messes (especially at night).
Lauren says
BLIND ME!
I have huge windows in my living room that let in so much sun/heat in the summer and I would love to have more than just curtains to keep the heat out. Not mention the privacy!
LaurenS says
BLIND ME!! oh my i need these blinds soooo bad. the room off our kitchen is windows all the way across. i can see our neighbors back windows so i’m pretty sure they can see into ours. need to get this fixed asap!
Katherine says
BLIND ME!
With 15+ windows throughout our small house we are slowly working our way to updating the window coverings. This would be great!
Tina says
BLIND ME! I’d love to cover my living room windows in a unique, stylish way!
Heather says
BLIND ME! During the California riots we stayed in a room next to gunmen! :( :(
alison says
Blind me! I’ve filled carts and left them all over the internets of blinds and shades that I can’t quite purchase. This would be a perfect win for me and the neighbor who can see into our family room…
Joy says
Please oh please Blind Me or my windows:) I could use some blinds on the window by our front door. Anyone can look in and see us sitting on the couch.
Christy B. says
Blind Me!!! Our dining room please :)
Caroline says
Blind Me! I think I probably qualify as the thing that people didn’t want to see. Two apartments ago, our bedroom window looked right into another apartment. I guess I knew they could see me, but didn’t care too much. My husband, on the other hand, totally cared.
Beth says
“Blind Me!!” We have a lot of cheap, plastic blinds in our current house to replace!! In our old house, our back windows looked right out to our neighbors yard, so he could see us if we were in the kitchen.
Traci says
BLIND ME– or the people who attend 7 AM music classes at the music school across the street from our new house! Love the big picture window running the length of our living room, hate that it frames OUR covered-in-little-but-our-underwear hineys so nicely for the neighboors!
Suni says
Blind me! We were just discussing this last weekend! Our views are of our neighbors neglected yard/house, or of the street – so we try to cover our windows all of the time. We wish we backed up to green space so we could never have to hide our view!
Crystal Verbeke says
I would cover our HUGE living room window because currently it has a shower curtain over it :( The view isn’t too bad, my grandparents home is actually across the street, but the shower curtain really needs to go.
Or our bathroom window, because our bathroom window faces the neighbors kitchen window. In the summer we could never open our bathroom window for fear they catch a glimpse of our bare butts while doing their dishes. ::blushes::
Mindy M. says
BLIND ME!
I really need some new window coverings for my two doors at the front with big oval glass insets – people can see right into our house – it’s a little unsettling at night.
Britt says
BLIND ME! We just moved into a new place with 12 ft windows and we have no idea what to do with them! This would be some good motivation to get something up there!
Mary says
BLIND ME!
I can see straight onto my neighbors deck through my kitchen window. It’s not so pleasant to look out while cooking or washing dishes and feel like I’m spying on them! Yikes!
jennypenny says
Blind me!
One of the first times I stayed in Chicago, I was so excited to check out the view from our hotel room. I opened the curtains, and …brick wall. Nice!
Whitney says
BLIND ME!
We’re renovating our house and currently have no window coverings in the living room. I want to watch tv in there, but we’re waiting until the window trim gets up and we get some new blinds! This would be perfect! :)
Karolina says
BLIND ME!!
We just gutted our master bedroom and we need blinds to cover up the bare windows! I’m tired of getting dressed in the bathroom!
Niknak42 says
BLIND ME!!! We live in an arts and crafts home with over 50 windows. New shades/blinds in some of the windows would be a dream come true!
Megan says
BLIND ME!
Oooh, there are so many windows that need covering by some fantastic shades – most notably two in the dining room and one in the bathroom that offer direct sight into our little row home. Oh, and I guess three of the bay windows on the first and second floors, too. We could use some help!
Dylan says
BLIND ME!
I just bought a new house and the previous owner left all her window treatments consisting of nothing but lacy, sheer coverings, which, at night, are completely see-through from the outside.
Erin says
OMG this would be amazing! Blind me! I have a Christmas quilt my mom made me and velour throw acting as blinds in our bedroom and it’s completely embarrassing. The real deal would be great!
susanne bloom says
Blind me!
Basement window facing the neighbors!
Christina Peterson says
Blind me! I would add some new blinds to the ones that are falling off the window!
lizkayl says
BLIND ME!
Please?
We have FOUR windows, side by side in the master bedroom. Gorgeous- yes.
Curtained- yes.
Drafty? YES.
And did I mention the 3-headed Lamppost that comes on as soon as the sun goes down, right outside that window. Our neighborhood planners must have thought that lampposts looked better than streetlamps. I’ve been trying to talk the husband into splurging on blinds to help insulate the windows- but, so far, he hasn’t agreed.
(We actually had a sodium-vapor lamppost in the BACKyard that we had no way of turning off, until we called the power company to cut the vapor they were charging us for. Standing out there by itself, it looks just like the Narnia lamppost.)
Lara C says
BLIND ME!
Military housing…enough said, right? I have a few lovely views of the Rocky Mountains, but otherwise it’s right into our postage-stamp backyard and our neighbors’ houses and yards!
kyla says
BLIND ME!
The giant picture window in our 1950’s cape cod living room has been giving the neighborhood its’ own real-time reality show…we don’t enjoy being the stars. Shutters would be amazing.
Megan Noller says
BLIND ME!
I need to get some lined bamboo blinds for the living room. Our neighbors don’t need to see inside our house ALL of the time!
bria says
BLIND ME!
we have corner windows in our bedroom – one of which lines up with our nbrs dining room. yikes! i’ve left the old baby blue 1960’s vinyl blinds up for privacy and lack of fundage.
Joanna says
BLIND ME!
The windows in the kids’ room so they would sleep later :)
Beth Q says
Blind Me!
Last year my pup Socrates got scared and ate through one set of blinds. The is a big, open hole that looks hideous! We cannot pull the blinds up because they will fall to pieces if we do. I would live some new blinds!
Melissa says
BLIND ME!
I need somethin’ in the bay window in my kitchen! Bad.
Misty says
“BLIND ME!”
I have so many windows and not enough coverings…I wouldn’t know where to begin!
Katelyn N says
BLIND/G ME!
I need blinds everywhere, especially my master bedroom. They were have been there from when we purchased our home. I believe they were originally white, although are slightly yellow now with many broken pieces. My kitchen needs the too as we currently have nothing there, which would be good privacy for us and to spare us viewing our backyard neighbors!
Janice says
“BLIND ME!”
I wish I could blind the morning light into the kids bedroom. Maybe they’d sleep in more! (I know, wishful thinking)
Sarah says
Blind Me! I too had a not-so-modest neighbor. :)
Kara says
BLIND ME!
Katie T says
Blind me! I would love to but some window coverings up in our guest bedroom so its not so creepy at night!
Janie says
Blind Me!
I would love to cover up my neighbor who sings show tunes constantly, but I suppose blinds won’t fix that unfortunately =)
Ellen says
BLIND ME!
We live in LA and insanely close to both of our next door neighbors. We can see them and they can see us. We even wave to each other sometimes! I think I’d like some new treatments for our bedroom.
kjirsti says
BLIND ME!
Our window in the dining room faces east so in the evening when we finally sit down to enjoy a nice meal together we always get blinded by the setting sun.
