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

Blind me! We’d like to hide the view of our air conditioner from the dining room table. Not a very appetizing sight…
Rachel B. says
BLIND ME!
I wish I could cover the bay window in our kitchen. I really like the way it looks without blinds, but I kind of have a feeling everyone can see us, which is a little creepy.
Kristin says
Please Blind ME!!
My husband and I literally JUST got done tearing out all the lath and plaster in our living and dining rooms and we are struggling to find the perfect window coverings. The next challenge is the kitchen, YIKES!! Thank god we love DIY so much!
Amanda Stewart says
BLIND ME!
My office is across the street from a swanky hotel. Let’s just say, do these people not realize everyone can see them, or do they actually want people to see them!
Karen says
BLIND ME!
my next door neighbor that can see right into my dining room!
Heather says
BLIND ME! I’d cover the office windows that peer into an alley between buildings.
Amy (Minimally Invasive) says
BLIND ME! I’d love to cover our living room window, with a view of the street.
Bethy says
BLIND ME BLIND MEEEEE. ;D
I just bought a house and close on it at the end of the month. The window coverings in the house are… quaint. They roll up sometimes but mostly sit half way down the window! haha.. I love Next Day Blinds!!!
Newness says
BLIND ME!
I really need to cover my kitchen window.
Jo says
blind me.

April says
BLIND ME!!

BLIND ME!
Not so fond of the view out my kitchen window. It looks straight over our sink and to the neighbor’s house…which they just painted an awful awful color.
Monica Cederberg says
BLIND ME!
Our dining room window faces our neighbor’s dining room window…with about 15 feet between the houses!! I wish I could cover this view but still let some light in. The blinds we have now are nice, but in retrospect, i would have chosen a sheer curtain!
kathleen says
BLIND ME!
When sitting outside, I would love to cover the view of my neighbors backyard – lots of old cars, a trailor, mounts of dirt, etc. Sadly, blinds will not help here, but I do have lots of naked windows looking for some love.
krista says
BLIND ME….please!! I’m in desperate need of cafe shutters for me new home so that we can let some light in and still keep our privacy. Do you even know how expensive they are? Very – and we’ve got 17 windows on the 1st floor alone!
lindsay says
BLIND ME! I wish I could cover our kitchen window that looks into our neighbor’s home office. I can’t drink my coffee in my pajamas!
layne says
Blind Me!
There is a sliding door in my laundry room that has no blinds. With a tall fence around my backyard, I never thought this would be a problem. However, then I went into my neighbor’s backyard the other day…and saw straight into my laundry room through a crack in the fence. Did I mention that is where I stand naked in the morning while I try to sift through my clean laundry and pick out what to wear?
Jeannene says
Blind Me!!!!
I need to cover a big energy wasting picture window that makes for a freezing dining room!

Blind Me!
We just need to have our windows covered! My husband is a great DIYer and has been slowly updating our old windows, but he works full time and also has lots of other projects going on with the house (not to mention we have two kids and a new baby!) because it was a big fixer upper so he doesn’t get much time to dedicate to the windows. We’ve lived in our home for two years and only have one window with blinds because I’ve been waiting for him to finish working on the windows before covering them.
Amy says
BLIND ME!!
The sliding glass doors to our back deck give you a lovely view of the ugly power lines in our backyard. Right now we just have the plastic vertical blinds that were left behind by the previous home owner. We’ve been searching for something more attractive but there aren’t a lot of choices and the ones we like are super expensive.
Kelly says
BLIND ME!!
The view that I most wanted covered was the scene outside of my hotel room when I visited Seattle. I couldn’t wait to visit such an amazing city, and was so excited for our awesome hotel. However, when I looked out my window to see the city views, all I saw was a strip club staring back at me. Although the blinds were ugly, they at least covered up a much more horrible sight!
KT says
BLIND ME!
I once stayed in a hotel in San Francisco that was across from a high rise apartment building. Each night when I returned to my hotel room from the conference I was attending, I was privvy to a live peepshow from the apartment directly across the street from my room. After three days/nights of unwelcome naked couple viewing, I finally stopped opening up my curtains when I woke up in the morning.
Savina says
BLIND ME! Would love custom blinds for our bedroom (big huge windows) or our living room.
Heather Johnson says
BLIND ME!!
I actually have a pretty nice view out our patio doors but the afternoon sun literally blinds me!! I’d love to find a beautiful way to shade the sun that still allows me to open up and see my backyard!
Thanks!
BTW LOVE LOVE your blog!!!
Meghan says
Blind Me!
People walking down our street can look right into our kitchen- we desperately need blinds.
Wintry Mix says
BLIND ME!
The views OUT are great, it’s the views IN that I need help with…we currently have no window coverings up at all in our downstairs and at night I feel like we’re totally on display!
Lindsey R says
BLIND ME! My egress window well in our basement. Mice and frogs have gotten down into the well (and can never get out) and their little skeleton bodies are out there !!! AHHH! It’s a custom size window………my fingers are crossed for some custom blinds! Thanks for the chance!
Melinda says
BLIND ME!
Emily says
Blind me! I’d block the view of my neighbor’s cocktail parties that I’m not invited to!
Lesley says
Blind me! We’re moving next month to our first home, and we need window coverings for every room. Yikes!
sarah r. says
BLIND ME! we close on a new house in 9 days so i can’t yet answer which view i want to block. but it would be so so nice to win this for the redecorating that is soon to take place!
Jillian says
BLIND ME! I live on a small city street and there is definitely not enough distance between my neighbors and me!
Deborah says
Blind me! I’d love to put white blinds up where we have brown blinds that came with the house.
ronda w says
Blind Me!
kathy says
BLIND ME! It was like three months before someone told me that the new rattan blinds in my bedroom were TOTALLY see-thu!
Valerie says
BLIND ME! When we moved into our house in April, the dining room had powder pink mini-blinds. I HAD to take those down, but now we get hot, bright sunlight blaring through all afternoon. The view is actually nice, but the sun can be blinding. Winning this giveaway would be a big help!
Melissa says
BLIND ME!
We love our home but hate the house behind us. We live in a new community and they have not done anything with their back yard – except keep a ratty dog house and pit bull tied to a stake back there (which we keep calling animal control about).
Laura says
BLIND ME!
Our house is located on a very busy street, so it’s a must for us to have our windows covered!
Luci says
BLIND ME! In my college dorm a couple of years ago, they were remodeling the building next door, and every weekday there would be workmen walking around on the roof less than 50 feet away from (and 100% level with) our hall bathroom window. Which was awkwardly sometimes open to vent steam from the showers. I am careful to always put curtains on all of my windows.
Erin York says
BLIND ME!!
I am fortunate to be married to wonderful man who is a pastor. So…we live about 100 feet from the church in the manse. While the view is beautiful, it would be nice not to see the church and cemetery at all times. :-)
Jess Ridley says
BLIND ME!
I would love to put blinds up in my living room… just haven’t had the money to do it yet!
Britiney @ Consider the Lilies says
Blind Me!! Right now I’d love to replace some of the cellular blinds we got when we built our house. They’re falling apart and look terrible! Thanks for a chance to win.
andria says
BLIND ME!
I am dying for something new to use on our bay window in the front. I’d love to allow more light in without giving anybody a view of what I’m doing each day.
julianne7 says
BLIND ME!
I would blind up my french doors on both bedrooms! Woot!
Katie abramczyk says
BLIND ME! New blinds for our porch door!
Whitney Kroneberger says
BLIND ME!
My husband and I live in a small cottage and we would LOVE to cover the windows in our living room with some lovely blinds!!! Though we love the view from our window, it’s a little bright in the mornings!
Charley says
Blind me! Our house sits reeeally close to our neighbor and we can practically tell what they have for supper each night. Needless to say, we need a little privacy in our lives!
Alicia says
BLIND ME!
Outside my bedroom windows, across the street, lies a Walgreens. And unfortunately they don’t shut off their exterior lights at night, so I get the not-so-lovely glow of red and bright white coming into my room all night.
sara says
BLIND ME! We definitely need something to let the light into our bathroom while maintaining our privacy.
Erica S says
BLIND ME
Our windows to the north look out over our farm shed, machinery, scrap metal pile. and propane tank.
