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!
I really want to get cellulose blinds for our living room.
Hannah says
Blind me! Actually, the view from my husband’s office is nice enough but since it’s actually a sunporch with three walls of windows, the room bakes all summer and freezes all winter. We would love to get some insulated blinds.
Kathryn says
BLIND ME!
I have a stacked washer/dryer in the bathroom of my studio apartment. I want to hide it with bamboo blinds a la younghouselove.

BLIND ME!
the vacant lot next to ours… overgrown much??
Jessica @ The SBB says
BLIND ME! Last time I looked outside my bathroom window, I was met with the sight of my teenage neighbor peeing beside their house. Needless to say, I haven’t looked out since.
Josie says
BLIND ME! I need me some new blinds! We’re stuck in the 80’s and need a serious update!
Alexis says
BLIND ME!
Buying a new house, the whole house needs blinds.
Kelly says
Blind Me!
I would love to recover the windows in our bedroom – our blinds are nasty!
Lindsay says
BLIND ME! I would replace the nasty plastic roll downs in our bathrooms!
Amy S says
BLIND ME!
We need blinds in our open sunny playroom/guest-room for privacy as we live right off of a busy road. It’s the one room in the house that doesn’t have any kind of window treatments.
Shauna says
BLIND ME!
Sara says
B L I N D M E!
I’d love to cover up the lovely view from my living room of my neighbors garage door held together by OSB and a miracle. :)

Blind me!
Amy says
Blind me…
I’m sure my neighbors wish I had blinds in my dining room so they don’t have to see my table covered in clutter.
JulieAnn says
BLIND ME!
When we moved into our house, only ONE of the rooms had window coverings. And our neighbors are literally 10 feet away from us. I’ve been sewing curtains for rooms, one by one, but I’d love the opportunity to cover our dining room windows. That way, when we have our south neighbors over for dinner, the north ones won’t know! ;)
Chuluotababe says
BLIND ME!!!
I really want to cover the window in the water closet. Not only is it obvious when you are sitting or standing (in my husband’s case) at the throne, but my it’s my boss who lives across the street who has the most spectacular view. For our sake and hers… I’m hanging a towel until I can get blinds for that window.
Suzanne says
Blind me
Amanda says
Blind me! just moving into a house this weekend with a buttload of windows!!!
Rebekah says
BLIND ME!
Our home is directly behind my workplace, so as my coworkers drive in and out of the parking lot, they are privy to whatever is going on in the back of my home (the un-blinded windows, if you will).. often times in the morning, that means they see me searching for the clothes I’d like to wear that day :) No bueno!
Jen says
BLIND ME
oh this is tough. i have a pair of french doors that i have yet to cover with curtains. so blinds for this area would be great, but i also have a door (i know, what?) in my bathroom that is all frosted glass covered by a curtain, but i’d love it to look better!
Joan says
BLIND ME! I would love to cover up the sliding doors in our
kitchen- the neighbors don’t really need to see me first thing in the morning! Not my best time.
Hannah says
BLIND ME!
Would love to have blinds for the bedroom… Currently have wonderful drapes that are a little more see-through than I’m comfortable with :) And since it’s a 1930’s bungalow, finding pre-made blinds at an appropriate size for inside mounting is impossible…
Erin says
BLIND ME!!
We just bought a new home, and it’s a bit of a (unfinished) mess inside. The view I’m hoping to cover up would be to the inside of our house as it has nothing over the windows currently.
Cathy says
Blind me!
Lauren says
BLIND ME!
My fiance and I just moved into our (fixer uper) house a few months ago and our entire downstairs is in need of blinds. For whatever reason our time and money are constantly eaten up by our wedding or other rooms in the house and we’ve neglected to get blinds! Eating dinner in our dining room is like eating in a fish bowl (especially living on a corner lot in a walkable cute town).
Katie says
BLIND ME!
Our soon-to-be new house is next to a nunnery…they’re nice, but not sure I want to see them through the windows! :)
Abby says
BLIND ME! I can’t think of a bad view at the moment! I guess I’ve been lucky so far!
Vanessa says
BLIND ME!
I don’t have any particular views I want to avoid – I actually need them to make sure the neighbors don’t see something THEY don’t want to! Thanks for another great giveaway!
Jayne says
BLIND ME! We need them everywhere!!
Holly Mullins says
Blind me! So I don’t have to look at my neighbor’s ugly boat in his driveway anymore!
Jason says
BLIND ME! I would love to black out my childrens room from the morning sun.
Sarah says
Blind me.
Hanna says
Blind Me! 12 foot window. That’s all I’m going to say.
Robin O says
BLIND ME!
We’ve got a beautiful big window in the front room (office) of our house that looks out onto our front yard and street. It’s a great view but we still have the icky, gray, skinny, metal blinds that the previous owners had hung and it puts a damper on the whole room! We’re dying to toss them and put something more fresh and clean looking!
ashley says
BLIND ME!
I want to put a new shade on one of the windows in our master bedroom. It looks directly into our neighbors back yard. And it’s not pretty. They have a ripped back door screen, an enormous basketball goal laying on its side, and a bunch of broken chairs. I desperately need a new shade!
Momma McCall says
Blind me! My poor living room needs better window coverings desperately. We look out at the neighbors house which is only 8 feet away- yuck!
Lindsay says
BLIND ME!!
Our bedroom, aka, the Pit of Despair, is DARK DARK DARK with our crappy, 1970s shades closed. But when they’re open, I can see directly into my neighbor’s BATHROOM!! To save his face and my embarassment, I literally have to avoid opening my blinds at a certain time each morning becuase of his, ahem, morning bathroom visit. We BOTH need privacy AND natural light to light our dark rooms. Save me, Next Day Blinds. You’re my only hope. :)
Lisa says
BLIND ME… our first floor has giant windows that need some custom blinds to keep us cozy and warm this winter.
Jen O says
BLIND ME!! As a newlywed, I am the one who likes to walk around naked. After reading your comments, I’ll rethink that!
Tracy says
BLIND ME!
Suzanne says
BLIND ME! We have a house full of naked windows because I have a hard time with decisions. My 13 year old’s sole window looks out on our neighbor’s back yard, and I’d love him to have more privacy.

“BLIND ME!”
We bought one of those ‘we’ll cut it for you’ blinds from a local home improvement store and let’s just say that the gal that cut it for us must have been out of practice as the shade is about and 3/4inch too large on either side and doesn’t even fit in our window…we have to pull the shade forward to open it otherwise it gets all bendy and kaddywompus and only raises like 2 inches from the sill…an actually fitting shade would be the bees knees! : )
P.S. So excited for you guys and the new place! Looking forward to seeing how you transform it and make it your own! : ) Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Kristin B. says
BLIND ME!
We’re renovating our house and ready to move into the back portion, the only trouble is that the bedroom wall looking into the neighbor’s back yard offers them a full monty view.
Laura Grace says
Blind me!
Kathryn McChesney says
BLIND ME!
The view of my neighbor’s half-painted fence and scruffy yard is not something I want to see out my bedroom window. For now, I have some old shutters, but new blinds and sheers would be nice so I could let some more light in during the day.
Kian says
Blind me! Our kitchen window is nearly 10′ across–and has terrible temporary shades at the moment, so *real* shades would be amazing!
Emily D. says
BLIND ME! I wish I could cover the noise the neighbors make on their stairs!
Nami says
BLIND ME!
I don’t have any bad view but am dying to cover up the afternoon sun. Thick curtains are too dark and thin curtain blind our eyes. Blind would be perfect!
Beth Compton says
BLIND ME! We need to shield our view of our horrible back yard!
