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.

    Blind me! We have malfunctioning vinyl roller shades in the front of our house. Great view in the daytime, but we don’t like anyone looking into the windows at night. I’d like to switch to a natural woven wood Roman shade with a privacy liner.

    Kidding.

    Here’s the scoop, our CATS just love to leave behind their love in the form of fur all over our shades. Perhaps we didn’t pick quite the right ones after all. Blahk! I mean the view would be awesome if you could get PAST the feline love! Let’s get together soon Next Day Blinds, and by that, I mean, the ‘next day’ after tomorrow.

    I’ve never been so happy for blinds than the day I delivered my daughter. Our hospital was located across the street from an office building where the cleaning staff have gotten in trouble for attending births from afar.

    BlIND Me!! We have a fabulous 60’s ranch house with narrow windows much like the one above your master bed and in your office. I’ve been wanting to put blinds and window treatments up but have not had the slightest clue of what would work! A few weeks ago I was making my bed after getting out of the shower…towel less if i might add…much to my dismay after a good minute of shaking the duvet to get it to fit around the comforter I looked up to see my 75 year old next door neighbor on the roof!! I dropped to the floor and although we’ve never mentioned the incident I swear he won’t look me in the eye now! I actually found your blog because I asked one of my besties for window treatment tips. She led me to your site and here I am!

    I’d love to get some cool, contemporary blinds for my den off the living room. This room is currently plagued with some blinds that may have been in this condo since the 1970s, from the look of their poor dated selves. In good condition, but seriously dated looking.

    we’re in the midst of bathroom renos and, seriously, we just installed a window and the blind we bought was too big and so, yes, if the neighbor pulls up their blind we are looking right into their little girl’s room, while we pee.
