  1. Living Room

  2. Bathroom

  3. My kitchen could use a makeover. The flooring is the original linoleum that put in when the house was built (in the 70s!), and the counters are this ugly 70s avocado green and definitely need to go.

    Thanks for the contest!

  4. Every room in my house could use a makeover. But I’d most like to redecorate my kitchen.

  5. I subscribe. Thanks!

  6. My bathroom is in such need of a makeover. It is so, well let’s just say it needs a lot of help.

  7. Our bedroom needs a makeover. We’ve redone every other room but our bedroom. A new bedroom suit, complete with dressers is on our to-do list once we have the money.

  8. My drab, colorless living room needs a makeover. I’m sick of it. It needs a splash of color to brighten it up. I could use a new rug , lampshades and candles to spruce it up. A cheap way to makeover a room without going broke but really makes a difference. I’m thinking a bright, dark blue or teal color.

  9. Our kitchen is begging for a makeover, food won’t even cook in there!

  10. My living room is not decorated at all. It is just a bunch of odd pieces thrown together.

  11. My Kitchen could use the makeover most, We’ve needed a new center island for some time now, one that my husbands chair could go under easily.
    Thanks for the chance!

  12. My bedroom

  121. I would love to makeover our family room which is the main room of our house that we all congregate together in most of the time! This room desperately needs a major makeover because it is not comfortable for all the functions that it has going on in it. We have 3 young children, 2 dogs and my husband and I have lots of hobbies and this is the room where we do most everything! It served as our TV room, our home office, and where the kids play and it is always a disorganized mess! It needs to be redesigned so each part of the room serves a unique purpose and it is layed out so we all can enjoy our passions comfortably and effectively. The room is large and this can be done with some professional help and some inspiration! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
