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! My bedroom is in need!
Sarah O. says
Blind me! We recently finished a makeover of our master bedroom suite, and some new blinds would be a fantastic finishing touch!
Anna says
BLIND ME!
I would love to replace the vertical blinds in the den that never close properly! The sunlight hits the tv most hours of the day as a result!
Derrick says
BLIND ME!
My wife really wants to win, so this is for her…

True story: I once rented a hotel room outside of NOLA w/ a friend. Not only was the room incredibly dirty, it also included a window featuring a view INTO THE ROOM NEXT DOOR. We immediately left and got our money back- looking back, we should’ve known when they asked us if we wanted the room “all night.”
Marissa says
Blind Me!
It would be great to find a better solution for our master bedroom window that looks straight out onto the street. We have blinds up, but unless they are closed perfectly and tightly, people can see right in at night.
Carissa says
Blind me, youngsters!
Honestly, we’re blessed with beautiful views outside of all our windows, but the bare window in our master bath out to the woods makes my husband nervous.
Worst views used to be our old apartment in C-Ville overlooking…other apartments.
Meagan says
‘BLIND ME’
When we bought our house the blinds that came with it were so cheap and old that one night while I was checking the mail I realized you can see absolutely everything in our house.
Erin says
BLIND ME!
I just wanted to say that I looked around their site (I’ve not heard of them before) and they have FREE swatches. That’s so awesome and makes it so easy to DIY. If I won this awesome giveaway I’d be well on my way to ordering, but even if I don’t I’m thrilled with their swatches service and I’ll definitely consider them when I’m looking for window coverings.
E @ Oh! Apostrophe says
BLIND ME!
Oh this is very much needed! We live on a busy street and it’s not so much the view out that’s bad, but I’d rather not such a clear view IN if you know what I mean :) Also, with a new baby arriving in March, we hear we should be in the market for some black-out type window coverings!

BLIND ME!
We recently moved into our first house. The kitchen, basement, and second bedroom have no blinds and the dining room and living room have hideous curtains. The master bedroom has blinds, but they are cheap and old.
Shelby says
BLIND ME!
Our rickety blinds have got to go!!!
Audra says
Blind me! This has been on my to do list!
Sara says
BLIND ME!!
We bought our house a year ago and we still have paper shades in our windows! I can’t wait to get rid of them!
Tracy Lee says
Blind me!
I live in a very large city, and I am tired of seeing the urban wasteland of a parking lot from my windows. City views are just not that breath taking unless you have some multi million dollar penthouse. I suppose the parking lot view I have is better than the back-of-a-gas-station view I used to have though…
Sara says
BLIND ME! We bought a fixer upper and are working our way down the unending list of things to “fix up.” Our bedroom has been the last on the list because we chose to tackle the spaces that guests will see first. We still have sheets covering the windows in there!!
Alison says
BLIND ME! We have a glass door that leads from our family/living room to our screened in porch. It lets in a lot of sunlight during the day (glare on the tv) and also lets people see into our home at night- creepy!!!
Beth says
BLIND ME!
I’ve been gradually installing blinds in my house, one room at a time. I’d love to finish off the study and Master bedroom!
Joy says
Blind me!
We have a playground across the streets and the kids can see straight into the bathroom. We have some ugly curtains covering the window and would love something nicer!
Angel says
Blind Me! Our living room faces right out to the rear of our condo stairs. Living without window coverings was interesting to say the least! We really got to know our neighbors I guess? Curtains are a big help, but we want shutters!!
Sarah Lynne says
BLIND ME, baby!
Sarah K says
BLIND ME!
My dorm room windows have a fantastic view of the ocean, but the parking lot also has a fantastic view of my room, so…
Angie Garcia says
Blind Me!
Two of the windows in our living room face our neighbor’s brick wall. Though private, it’s not the prettiest scenery.
Meghan says
BLIND ME!
I’d love to add blinds to our dining room windows which open up onto our back alley. While I love our neighbors, I love my privacy a little more :)
Yulia says
Blind Me! Oh this is just the thing for me! I have a big beautiful window that looks out onto the neighbor’s driveway. Currently it has dusty plastic blinds and I would love to update them to something nicer. :-)
Kate says
BLIND ME!
I would love to get new curtains for the front of our house. Some of the windows look out onto the roof of our carport.
Natalie R. says
BLIND ME…from my neighbors! We moved into a townhouse community and my house backs up too close for comfort with our neighbors in the back (although we do heart them!). I would love textured drapes to put on my windows :-) The “Fish Bowl” look isn’t “in” these days!
Tara says
BLIND ME!
We just renovated our living room and have no privacy in our backyard! Would be nice if the neighborhood couldn’t peer into our new digs!
Lauren says
BLIND ME!
Sometimes I need to cover the view of my own backyard. Someday, oh someday, we will have the time and budget to landscape right. For now, we’re in work-in-progress status.
Alexandra says
Blind Me!
Our neighbors are running a flooring company out of their home, so we’d love to block out the view of their fleet of vans and the noisy workers who arrive at 6am. Did I mention one of the vans caught on fire a few months ago?
Camille says
BLIND ME!
Eventually, we are planning to replace all of the blinds in our house, but I would love to work on my son’s bedroom first. We draped a sheet over the window so it can stay dark when he sleeps…and we’ve been using this for nearly two years!
alexis says
Blind me!
My bedroom window is very near a street and an area that is popular with dog walkers. I’d love some privacy that allows in a little light as well.
Ashley Clark says
BLIND ME!
Kristi says
Oh…our one side windows that look out to neighbors w ho only come home to empty about 3 litter boxes into the trash can. And take flash photos of every angle of their house. Creepy.
stephanie says
BLIND ME!
I would love to cover the view from our kitchen of our trash bin area.
Niki Adams says
BLIND ME! – I have yet to do something in my front room and it needs it!
Amber Clark says
BLIND ME!
We still haven’t covered our bathroom window since we moved in in August. I think I felt exposed in the beginning, but now I am getting to the dangerous place of being comfortable…we’ve got to do something in there! :)
Beth says
BLIND ME!
I once stayed in a hotel room with a window between the bathroom (from inside the bathtub) and the main room. Strange.
Mary S. says
BLIND ME!
I’d like to cover practically all the windows in our house, er, re-cover. The previous owners’ taste in window coverings left something to be desired. Picture shutters that don’t quite fit and bright teal and mauve mini-blinds!
katie says
BLIND me…
So the large window in our bedroom has a bamboo-like roman shade over it. You can’t see out. But one evening last year my husband was waiting outside for me to change to go for a walk and we found out…that while you can’t see out, you sure can see in!! YIKES! Know wonder our neighbors are so friendly. We have hung curtains over that window but I’d LOVE some swanky plantation like shutters for it!!
Danielle says
Blind me!!
My husband and I would love to be able to cover our bedroom windows with something other than the thin plastic blinds that have been up at our windows for two years now. Our neighbors leave their ultra bright porch light on all night, so…we have fallen into the habit of hanging our throw blankets over the windows at night… pretty sad huh?
Kari Barker says
Blind me! Our master bedroom looks into our neighbor’s kitchen!
cassandralouise says
“BLIND ME”
It’s time to look for something beautiful, instead of something plastic cheap;)
Rachel says
BLIND ME! I hate the view of my neighbor’s laundry drying outside of my back door. Sheets would be one things, but skivvies are another!
Sarah says
Blind me!
We’ve been in our house for 2 years and about 1/10 of our windows are covered. I’d particularly love to cover the guest bedroom windows that look out onto our dogs’ favorite patch of yellowed grass – not the ‘welcoming’ sight we want our guests to enjoy!
Nick says
Blind me!
My office has great big sliding glass doors, which is great except that I work from home half the week and the sun beats in for most of each day, it was turning into an oven! We really need something to cover it up, and curtains aren’t the best option for the space.
Dawn says
BLIND ME!
Jill says
BLIND ME!
I live in Seattle and wish I had a Mt Rainier or water view, but….instead I live in a ground level condo. It’s fun for people watching, but feels like a fish bowl at times. I’d LOVE to win this as one of my 2 living room blinds has been broken for 2 years; I can’t pull it up fully which is a tragedy when we’re already lacking for sunshine in our lovely city. We have extra large windows that require custom orders, which just haven’t been in the budget! My fingers and toes are crossed this time!
Heather M says
BLIND ME!
I am currently living with horrible homemade floral roman shades in our kitchen. Not cute at all. I would rip them off, but I have nothing underneath… the windows would be naked!
