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.

    BLIND ME!! We have white curtains in our bedroom which look great inside our bedroom, but I’m pretty sure we give our neighbors quite the show at times! Opps!

    BLIND ME! I am dying for some window treatments to block out the street traffic’s view of our living room! Heck, I have even been considering shutters on the four front windows too! This would be perfect :)

    Hmm…so many windows, so few blinds. I’d have to vote for my kitchen window. She is as naked as a newborn and in need of some type of fab covering. Roman blind, wood blinds, who knows? Just as long as she can get dressed already!

    Thanks for the giveway!

    Turns out my bedroom blinds are somewhat transparent when the lights are on at night – not something you want to discover a few years after moving in. They must be replaced!

    BLIND ME! Blinds are the one thing our house still really needs. We moved in this summer and still haven’t saved up for blinds in every room. Our master bedroom is at the front of the house and a giant chocolate brown fleece blanket was ‘expertly’ stapled over the window so that our neighbors wouldn’t be on the lawn for a show every morning after my husband couldn’t take the sun any longer. I’d love to replace the blanket with real blinds. I would also love to do so for free!

    I have a new grand baby coming and the baby room faces the street. I have roman blinds there now, but they are chocolate and don’t let in much light. I don’t want to see the road, but it would be nice to get the dappled light and silhouettes from outside

    We’re buying our first house and the curtains come with it. But I’m pretty sure these curtains are the original, from the 1960’s!!! Needless to say, we need some new window treatments.
