I would love to update our master bathroom. We haven't made any changes in the last 10 years and have just started looking into ideas. New fixtures, sink and would love a spa tub. We would need to do it ourselves due to cost. I would love to win- thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteI don't have my own home but I'd give this to my boyfriend for Xmas because we do lots of diy home projects together at his place :)

ReplyDeleteI know my mom would love to fix up the living room some more. It would be great to get some carpet or a rug and change the curtains as they are a bit old. We got some new furniture, but a darker tv stand would be great to match the rest.

Thursday's Wedding Tip #14
lauren51990 AT aol DOT com
My kitchen is really awful. I made the mistake of picking colors myself: red and yellow. It reminds me of eggs & ketchup every time I walk in there. I need home depot to sponsor a "How to Tile for Dummies" too because I'd love to put up a tile backsplash myself...a daunting project for someone who lacks a craft gene.

I would really love to update my awful pink bathtub. I've heard you can buy tile paint now, but I'm really nervous about trying it. Maybe this gift card would be the motivation I need!
ReplyDeleteWe just bought a home that is 25 years old. There is only 1.5 baths and the full bathroom needs some major updating! It would be great to start with a couple of new sinks and faucets and maybe do some tiling
ReplyDeleteI would like to work on my hallway and get new light fixtures!

ReplyDeleteWe have a million things going on next week but I want to go to that workshop so badly! I'd love to redo our kitchen (well not redo so much as do to begin with. We live in a new house that has no backsplash, really plain stain-easily tiles and cheap cabinets). Thanks for the chance!

I would LOVE this as we are in the process of redoing our kitchen after a LONG wait. We are repainting and putting in tile behind the sink and also on the wall where I do a lot of my kitchen work...easier cleanup of splatters. Also some new lights, floor, counter tops. So fun!

My daughter 24 and I just moved into a new place, in fact we're still moving things in and have to have the old place empty by 9/29. So we have a long list of to-dos. The room that I need to work on the most is the master suite, which is my daughters. I got the 2 smaller rooms for myself. Her room needs window treatments shelves, and has a built in dresser that needs a new top built on. Plus I'ld like to make her a headboard for her platform bed and a screen for her treadmill.
ReplyDeleteI really need to update my bedroom- even changing the lampshades would be a big help, as I've had mine for nearly 10 years & they're pretty outdated.

I would like to totally redo my kitchen. New cabinets, new countertops, new sink, new floor. If I won the gift card I would probably use it to install a garbage disposal since I don't have one.
ReplyDeleteWe are working on converting the "library" room of our house into a bedroom for my toddler. I'd like to carpet it, since she's always climbing and taking spills. I've already finished the curtains, spray painted letters to form her name, decorated the walls, and baby proofed it.

ReplyDeleteI would really like to change the flooring in our entire home to hard wood. My husband is very allergic, and this would certainly be better and more beautiful than the carpet we have.
