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!

BLIND ME!!
I desperately need to cover the window in our family room. The sun shines in half the day making in impossible to watch TV. It would be nice to have the option to let in some natural light or close it up for some reality TV viewing! :)
Kristin says
Blind me! I still have the MAROON mini-blinds from the previous owner in my hallway and bathroom — I been tempted to remove them but I don’t think my neighbor wants to see me get out of the shower :)
Anna says
Blind me! We have very close neighbors on one side of our house and I would love the option to have a little more privacy in a couple rooms.

“BLIND ME!”
I would put blinds in my son’s room because he currently has a roller shade & it’s shot. I also would put a blind in my kitchen window that is right by my sink. Currently I only have a valance! Thanks for the great giveaway!

We are refinshing our kitchen (top to bottom) but our yello-brown wood blinds are KILLING the whole updated vibe! I would LOVE to update those:)
Katie says
BLIND ME!!!
Okay, so I’ve entered lots of YHL giveaways because I think, “That would be cool!” This one is one where I’m saying, “That’s JUST what I need!” We have two windows on the front of our new house that need to be covered. My neighbors can see me cooking breakfast and running to the laundry room to get clean clothes in the morning. Our curtains from our old house don’t fit, and this would be the perfect solution!
Sara says
BLIND ME!
Our dog has an unusual quirk: he goes bananas over light reflections, like those from sunlight hitting metal, jewelry or glass. I’d like some blinds to better cover our front bay window, so we can adjust the light and calm him down.
cass says
Blind me! There are no window coverings on one side of our house. The neighbors on that side have their house for sale and I am afraid of what our new view could be!
Amanda Jerkins says
Blind Me! Just moved into a new house and need blinds!
Heather says
BLIND ME!!!!
Elizabeth W says
BLIND ME!!
My husband desperately wants blinds in our home office/library. He’s a serious bibliophile and worries all the time about sun bleaching of the book covers…
Max says
BLIND ME!
Need to cover my living room, as it faces the street…
Helen says
BLIND ME!
I need to cover up my bedroom windows.
Dilvia Teixeira says
BLIND ME! I just bought an old condo and all the old blinds need to be replaced.
Ali Gully says
BLIND ME!!!
I have a 13 week old who WILL. NOT. NAP. For any mother of an infant you know that naps are the most amazing gift in the world. Better than a big bow stuck on chocolate covered money or cream cheese doughnuts.
Daylight peeks into the room tempting the child with, “Ooh! You see these? These are fluttering leaves in the wind and sunlight! They are sooo much better than going to sleep! Stay awake!!! Screw Mary Poppins and her farce of a lullaby of reverse psychology. In fact, why don’t you scream your head off at Mom to let her know how much you want to watch these leaves on the tree. Scream so much that you need to vomit breast milk curds all over the crib mattress and dry clean only crib skirt!”
So you can see, my fellow parents, while I truly wouldn’t mind if our neighbors caught sight of our darling little boy, I would much rather keep him in the dark.
Julie says
BLIND ME!!! I have a window in the bathroom and the blinds are nasty! My husband wants to just take them down, but I do not think my neighbors will appreciate that. :)
Laura says
BLIND ME!
Our last home, which was a rental had blinds over all the windows, so when we bought a house, the first night I forgot my robe after a shower and just wandered into our bedroom like I would normally do – totally forgetting that there is now a window in the hallway.
Hello new neighbors!
Ann says
BLIND ME!
My husband and I cant figure out what window coverings to put up in our dining room… it has been 2 years so far. Our house is at an angle and the neighbors down the block can see into our dining room!! Not good.
James B says
BLIND ME! I’d love to be able to give this as a gift to my wife. She has been wanting me to install new blinds in the house.
Anna G says
BLIND ME! I have a window that accessible from the street and my current window treatment has garnered complaints from the neighbors. They have left anonymous notes on my door.
Alia Truex says
BLIND ME!! I would love to cover the view from our kitchen. Since we live on a hill all we see are the tops of our neighbors houses and their backyards.
Jamie says
BLIND ME!! I have 65 yr old neighbors, and the WIFE is always up on the roof doing something. I can’t stand to watch but I can’t look away. I am afraid she will fall…I need blinds!
Norma says
Blind Me!
We have a big window in our living room and our house is very close to the street like all the other houses in the area. I would love some blinds for that window so we have a little privacy.
carly says
BLIND ME!
We took your bamboo/white curtain idea and hung it in our remarkably similar to yours living room window. However unlike your soon to be sold casa, ours isn’t as private and we are saving up for some honeycomb blinds to put behind the bamboo so people can’t see right into the house.
Jana S says
Blind Me!
Well right now we live in apartments that look out onto a courtyard with more apartments on the other side. So we all are looking into each others back door. Luckily we have those lovely vertical blinds, (LOL!) Sometimes I take the dogs for a walk around the courtyard in the evening and I swear about half our neighbors have their blinds wide open! I guess some people just aren’t too worried about their privacy… Thank goodness we are on our way to buying a house in about 6 months!
Katie @ makingthishome says
BLIND ME! I’d cover some of that direct sunlight that’s fading everything.
Adrianne R says
BLIND ME!
We moved into our house in June and still have the temporary blinds up. We’re getting new windows in December, an unanticipated but required cost and would love nothing more than pretty new blinds to match!
Derek says
BLIND ME!
The final touch for my living room!
Rebecca says
BLIND ME!
Our guest bedroom could really use some blinds, but I’m also itching to replace some of the icky blinds that came with the house when we bought it.
Shannon Burke says
BLIND ME! I live in a condo with 4 ginormous windows. Each one has a set of blinds that I’m willing to guess have been there since the building was built. The cost is fairly high to replace them, but $200 would really help! I’d like to have something that can open on the top and bottom, so my roommate could have some privacy and I could have some light. Thanks!
Jessica T. says
BLIND ME! I would love to shade the sun in our bedroom so we could actually sleep in!!
tincupchalice says
Blind me!
The view I’d like to blind is my neighbors den because he watches tv shows that I have no interest in watching.
Lucy says
Blind me! We have windows in all of our bathrooms, and we live in a rowhouse in DC, so our neighbors could see right in. We took care of that quickly!
Elizabeth says
Blind ME! I want to blind the apartment complex behing my house
hanna says
Blind ME!!
Our bedroom windows are right next to our neighbors driveway…(loud snow-blowing in the winter), I tend to change clothes in our guest room!
katie kildal says
BLIND ME!
I’ve lived in my house for over 2 years and our guest bathroom window still doesn’t have a covering! It directly faces the bathroom of the townhouse next door. Not exactly the “make yourself home” feeling I am going for….
karin says
BLIND ME! Lots of windows here to cover. Would love to do plantation shutters but a bit nervous on my own dime. Would be fun to throw caution to the wind with a gift certificate! Or just normal window coverings would do too. Not picky.
marlena says
BLIND ME…i want our bedroom to be more cavelike and i cant seem to find any cute blackout curtains
Abby says
BLIND ME!
kori says
blind me por favor!
i wish i could cover up my bedroom windows. the view is out to my back porch so essentially anyone can peep in!
Vanessa says
BLIND ME :)!
Kellee Robinson says
BLIND ME!
I have a really nice size window over the sink in my kitchen, it has a valance but I’d love to add a roller hsade for night time privacy. I can roll it up & hide it under the valance for full views.
Megan says
BLIND ME!
I’m more concerned with the view looking into my bathroom than the view looking out!
AimeeH says
BLIND ME!
We desperately need blinds in our house. The sun wakes our guests up pretty early and I always feel bad.
Jessica @ Decor Adventures says
I am certainly entering this giveaway! We moved into our 1st house in January and still have the previous owners {not so nice} window coverings. Blue metallic blinds, dusty things you don’t want in any house! So I need lots of new ones :-)
BLIND ME! Thanks!
Mo says
BLIND ME!
Wishing to cover up that west sun…
Melissa says
BLIND ME!
If we leave the bedroom door open, you can see right in through the back door.
Kristin says
Blind Me! We desperately need new window coverings in the living room at the front of our house!
Jenn says
BLIND ME!
We live in a 1980s townhome…every window looks directly into another unit:) I need these blinds!
