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:

NextDayBlinds Image 1

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.

    The north side of our house looks directly into an abandoned (and extremely unsightly) house and all the junk inside (heck, it could use some blinds too).

    My ensuite bathroom has a huge window, we are talking the same size as my main living room window, which is huge for a bathroom. The most difficult thing about it is that the wondow is directly in front of the toilet. Crazy, I know!
    Would love to have a beautiful shutter to ensure the neighbors don’t get an eye full.

    BLIND ME! Our master bedroom is in desperate need of STYLISH BLINDS to block out the landlubber’s lighthouse-worthy bright outdoor lighting – practically shines through the bedroom wall and blasts through our icky, terrible, just when you thought it couldn’t get worse PLASTIC roller shades from the previous owners…

    We wish we could cover our bedroom windows, even though the view is beautiful. Our townhouse is situated on a hill that overlooks the rest of our community, with rolling forests beyond that. However, it’s not so nice at 9pm when your neighbors can see in your window – yikes!

    I have the same paper temporary shades on my back door that have been there for 5 years (as I hang my head in shame). The view is fine – trees – but is wide open and at ground level. Would love to find something permanent for this set of french doors.

    My bathroom window is a regular size bedroom window that was installed way too low and looks out onto out backyard and the business that is directly behind our house. We have a tie up shade on it now, but a nice wood slat blind would be great!

    We have a big, beautiful picture window in the front of our house that lets everyone see in once it’s dark out. I need a nice window covering for it. Right now it has vertical blinds on it – yuck!! But at least I can close it and not everyone can see in the house at night.
