Hang out with my friends and you’ll learn quickly that we take pride in sniffing out deals like relentless little bloodhounds. The bigger, the better; and if it’s free, the rules is–take no prisoners. Just come home with the prize.
Well, friends–you finally may have met your match. There’s a downright feeding frenzy across the nation as word gets out about Celebrating Home’s $5,000 dining room sweepstakes on Facebook.
Yes, CH is giving away a five thousand dollar dining room makeover and throwing in two design pros to create the ultimate entertaining space from top-to-bottom.
Since I write for CH, I can only watch (rats!), then flee the scene for a break now and then from the non-stop ringing phone and avalanche of e-mails pouring in from the bajillions of you wanting to know:
•”Seriously, $5,000?”
•”Will CH’s super-dooper, designer-in-chief Jeff Floyd and renowned artist Susan Winget
really mastermind the makeover?”
•”Can I choose from anything in CH’s lineup?”
•”All I have to do is click on ‘enter to win’ on CH’s Facebook page?
–Yes, Yes. Yes, Yes–
As excitement grows, so does your list of questions. So I beelined it to Jeff Floyd and Susan Winget to find out what makes this the coolest contest ever to take place on Facebook and in CH history.
•What do you mean by a dining room makeover?
“Susan and I will design a dining room that fits the winner’s needs. “For some people that may mean starting from scratch. For others, it may mean a bit of paint and layering in accessories that work with existing furnishings that they love. Sky’s the limit up to $5,000 so it’s going to be fabulously fun!”–Jeff
•How involved will you all be in the transformation?
“From concept to installation, we’ll be on the job working hand-in-hand with the winner to create a gameplan, then select products and guide the transformation.” –Jeff & Susan
•How do you typically work with homeowners when providing design guidance?
“I truly believe your home should be a reflection of you and your tastes, likes/dislikes, personality and aspirations. So the first meeting is all about listening and doing very little talking (I know–hard for me!). From that dialogue, a plan will be devised and tweaked until the space speaks to that person and their family.–Jeff
“As a product designer rather than an interior designer, I don’t often get to work with homeowners. However, while designing my product lines, I’ve learned a lot about trends and what people want in their homes–product that’s both beautiful and functional. How to make that happen will be top of mind with me as we meet with the contest winner.”–Susan
•What kind of trends work well in a dining room today?
” These days the words ‘dining room’ have taken on a whole new meaning because we live in homes with very few formal areas. A dining room may be reserved for special occasions or be an eat-in kitchen space used every day. Whatever the case, our makeover will fit the winner’s lifestyle. Trends only matter if they are relevant to the homeowner’s personality.”–Jeff
•What excites you most about this contest?
“It’s thrilling to be able to participate in the creative process of home decorating with whomever the lucky winner will be. I’ve found, both in our studio and with our customers, that the process of creative collaboration is so rewarding. In this case, being able to take a specific individual’s personality into account make it all the more exciting.”–Susan
“The unknown! Where, who, what, how? How will we get there–airplane train, bus, car, wagon, foot? It’s all a mystery right now and I can’t wait for it to unfold!”–Jeff
On whose doorstep will Jeff and Susan land? Could be yours but only if…you enter to win (now through midnight CST on March 10, 2012)!
