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.

    I would probably re-cover the bedroom window that overlooks a lovely alley where homeless folks sometimes like to use as a bathroom. ah, the joys of living in los angeles.

    Right now, our south windows (the most sunny ones!) face the taller brick building next door…ugh, with daylight savings, it’s even darker! Needless to say, blinds are almost always drawn…

    I have a very odd shaped window in my guest bathroom that I’d really like to get some sort of window covering on. It is a short and really wide window. Some interior plantation-style wood blinds would be fantastic!!

    The view I would like to cover is my next door neighbor’s garage. A view my neighbors to the back would probably like me to cover is the kitchen when my husband is walking around in his underwear. All of us neighbors are friends, but that could be too friendly.

    Really can’t decide which, just anything to keep the crazy neighbor from peeking when he comes up onto our porch and yells “neighbors?! neighbors?! are you home? Neighbors?”. That and keep the pooches from going nuts when seeing him on their turf! Blind me please!

    BLIND ME! I can’t decide–the huge living room window that has a nice view but is incredibly hot (or cold) depending on the day/weather? or the awkward window in our bedroom that doesn’t lend itself towards curtains? Either way, it would be nice to be able to not worry about everyone seeing in as they drive down our road.
