I came up with this awesome idea because I truly love you all so much. This was the only way that I could express my gratitude for all of your support and love and encouragement. I want you all to know how seriously I fought to make this a reality. I have the best readers in the world. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
So now the mushy stuff is out of the way here is how its going to work. I rounded up my favorite sponsors. Products that I use personally and really believe in (cause you guys know I wouldn’t promote something that had guts that I didn’t love.)
This awesome contest wouldn’t be possible without THE BEST sponsors in the entire world. I love them like family, so show them some gratitude Vintage Revivals style mmmmkay?
(click their logo to go to their awesome sites)
(who has the most INSANE wall stencils ever. Like it took me DAYS to decide which one I wanted…. Literally DAYS. Click over and check them out. And you can use the code VINTAGE10 at check out to save 10%! That’s how much they love your guts. Holla!)
Here is where you (insert your name here) come in. I need someone’s house to go to!
How its going to work:
I need you to write a post on your blog explaining why I MUST come to your neck of the woods, what room we would work on, what furniture you have that you want to make awesome, why I am your bloggy idol. You know junk like that. If you want you can do a regular old post with pics or you can do a vlog, its your choice.
FYI This is not the just the ugliest house in America contest. I mean if your house is ug I want you to enter but, if your house is alright and you need some direction I want you to enter too. Heck even if your name is Nate Berkus or you were just on HGTV and you want me to come and hang out for a few days you can enter. Got it?
This contest is open to EVERYONE!
Starting Monday at 12:01 am there will be a linky party opening up.
**FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T HAVE BLOGS I HAVE STARTED ONE FOR YOUR SUBMISSIONS. YOU CAN EMAIL ME YOUR POST AND I WILL LINK IT UP FOR YOU** At the end of each day I will link up all posts that I received during the day. My email address is [email protected] and put in the subject line Giveaway Submission.
The linky party will stay open for almost 2 weeks. It will close Saturday April 30 at 12:00 AM MST. So that you will have plenty of time to get your submissions done.
Once it is closed there will be voting open for exactly 3 days. There will be a star underneath each link that you can click on to vote for it. So, if you are smart you will facebook, tweet, call, whatever it takes to send everyone you know over to vote for your link.
The top 10 will be chosen this way: 5 from the highest # of votes from the linky party and 5 from Random.org so that its not a giant popularity contest.
I will announce the top 10 on Wednesday May 4.
From these top 10 a panel of my BBFF’s will choose their top 3 favorite entries.
The top 3 will be announced on Friday May 6. At that time the voting is opened up to you. YOU GUYS will choose the winner.
The winner will be announced the following Friday.
The winner will get:
ME! For a few days anyway.
Enough supplies from Krylon, Purdy, Dutch Boy, Decoart, Scotch Blue, and Royal Design Studios to cover all of our makeover needs.
A completely different room. Vintage Revivals style.
We will go thrifting and be doing a lot of hard work so make sure that you are up for it before you enter your post. Also you should know that I will have some money for finding awesome stuff, but I would also like to use some stuff that you already have (I mean if you have awesome junk).
The Rules:
You must live in the continental United States.
You must display the Giveaway button in your post.
You must be a PUBLIC FOLLOWER of Vintage Revivals. You know, show the world that you love my guts.
You must be totally awesome.
You must be willing to go along with everything that I say…just kidding you can have a small opinion. Hahaha!
You must have walls that can be repainted.
The Deets:
I will be going where ever the winner lives sometime in June. Depending on what the winners summer schedule is like.
In the event that the winner cannot/doesn’t want to claim their prize then the second place contestant will be the new winner.
We will go over all major design ideas before hand. And yes, you will have input. But ya’ll should know that I fly by the seat of my pants 95% of the time…consider yourself warned.
So there you go! Is it Depends wearing worthy? I think so!
Now get off of your computer and go gets ta takin’ some pictures!
wholly cow…this is so awesome. I have been making over my home for about 5 years..but need direction in how to lay it out. can not wait to enter this giveaway!
Holy crap my pants excited.
Ohmygawd Winning this would SO be worth having to paint my walls when we move. I have junk and I think some of it is awesome. =] I also have too much furniture cramped in this space. Plus I would have little to no opinion since I suck at layout/furniture placement. I’m on the KY/TN border and would totally show you around wherever you’d like to go. 🙂 And I’m willing to work, I’ll put the kids to work even.
DUDE! I can’t seem to manage anything else other than DUDE! This would totally solve my problem of having to figure out a way to move next door to you and stalk you everyday! I am SOOOOOOOO entering this! I’ve got some junk that needs help AND my fav thrift store has 99 cent Mondays. Everything in the store (with a certain color tag) is 99 cents… EVERYTHING!
Besides, I think you’ll really, for real, love my guts!
This is AWESOME!!!! I’m already dreaming of you coming to Missouri…..
You Make Me Laugh! you do but I’m not gonna enter your awesome giveaway… not that I don’t think doing something like this would be mega mind blowing fun with you BUT I like my house just the way it is thankyouverymuch – I know, I’m weird not to mention picky as h*!! My house looks like a paint store threw up on the walls, each room a completely different color with tons of personlity (psycho? perhaps) But I will give you a giant shout-out on my blog even though you have thousands of followers and I recently broke 100, I’ll do it… cuz I like your crazy
I LOVE YOUR GUTS!! This is the best giveaway ever! I so desperately need your help! Not to mention I’m in South Florida and only 15 minutes from the beach so we would have fun hanging out and relaxing after a busy makeover!
SQUEEEE!!!! You did not exaggerate! Definitely the best giveaway ever!!!
Oh Em Gee! I would seriously pee my pants if I were to win “you” for a couple days…seriously?! My master bedroom needs some serious overhaul! And your ideas bouncing off of my ideas…would be like M&M’s you can’t just have one M…you gotta have both ;)right? I’m gonna get on this ASAP! You Rock Miss Mandi…I’m no Nate Berkus…but I do believe I’m worthy of your help 🙂
thank you, thank you, thank you for this opportunity!
If only! If I had my own house I would definatly be entering, but since we are on a military base and unable to paint or anything like that I think I’m going to have to let some other lucky lady win, even though I’d DIE with excitement at meeting you and having you redo a room for me!!!!!!
Wow Mandi! That’s so cool! Leave it to you to do something so awesome.
You are a BLOGLAND ROCKSTAR Mandi! I’m out cause I’m a Canadian eh? But I’m going to review, scrutinize and vote!!!!!! You rock baby.
This is the best GIVEAWAY EVA!!!!!! UM, how about I’ve already written a post asking for you to come to my house and HELP ME??!! I think it’s fate that you come here and redo my living room. Or my ugly bedroom. Or my ugly dining room. And June is my birthday month! This woud be the best birthday I’ve ever had. I would never ask for another present. Oh please pick me!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS. FREAKING. ROCKS! U were NOT kidding when u said u had the most amazing news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 U should totally come to my new house! It’s like a blank canvas! LOL
I just soaked through my depends. should have doubled up.
Thats sooo awsome!! I WISH I could get you to come to my house just because I would love to meet you, and I have no thrift store shopping buddy!!
Awesome idea Mandy! Thinking about which room I can enter…hmmmm, they could all use a lil help!
WHAT??? You have got to me kidding me….NO Look what I found Friday??
I was expecting look what I’m giving everyone on my Birthday!!
Ok….this will do:-)
Have a great Birthday!
SSsoooooo awesome! Wishing I wasn’t a renter today so we could paint my walls!
BAaaaaa! You will soon get to see a post about my “creepy bathroom”! It has potential!
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I have to go clean my living room RIGHT now so I can do a video. I need serious help, and I mean SERIOUS help, with my living room. This would be insanely awesome.
when you said “stay tuned” you weren’t kidding! …mentally writing a post about my crappy dining room as I type this…
unless of course it ends up being about my crappy living room…
or my crappy bedroom…
apparently choosing a room will be half the job!
HOLY SCHNIKES! If I didn’t just use the bathroom already… yes, I may have peed my pants.
Sweet Lord, which room should I pick? My dining room really needs help, but my bedroom is so boring. Can we only enter one room? Or can we let you choose when you arrive… like by declaring “this ug room needs help!”??
Plus this means I’m going to have to CLEAN before taking photos. Oh no…… Better get to work!
This would be AMAZING! I consider myself a designer also but having another one in my house… two brains… OMG! I have a formal living room that is so sad, it doesn’t belong in a house of a self proclaimed designer lol. The experience in and of itself would be INCREDIBLE! I can’t wait to do draw up my blog post this weekend!
Cheers! Sommer
OMG I JUST PEED MY PANTS!!! This was the best thing to come through my reader!!!! I AM WRITING MY POST RIGHT NOW. and totally having my random classmates and neighbors vote for me!!!! I MUST WIN!!!!! WRITING THE POST NOW!!!
Mandi, Mandi, MANDI! Can I just please tell you how AWESOME I think you are and how THRILLED I am that you sought us out to make our stencils part of your amazing and inspired giveaway. I can’t wait to watch the whole process and see what your creative brain comes up with. Oprah is retiring soon, you know, and the world needs a fresher Marta…just sayin’ 😉 Melanie
I forgot to add, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
OMG! I can’t believe you are doing this.. I am so excited. I mean I hardly think its fair that that I can’t brag about living right by the Beach, only because I live sooo close to you. I mean we have no Beach. But, I love your guts, and I am entering. I can’t wait to get started on my post. You just have to come to my house..Pretty Please…
Holy cow how awesome are you to do this!!! Seriously awesome!!
I’ve never been so frustruated to be in a rental as right now haha. Aarrrrgh!! Can’t paint my walls!!
I am so excited though to watch the process and see where you end up!
Did I say you’re awesome? 😉

How awesome for you and the winner! This is so exciting!!! Good Times~
Hoping you won’t be too disappointed to end up in my tiny town! This is a fabulous contest!
Are you freakin’ kidding me!?!? Do you ever sleep!?!? 🙂 How fun. I am super duper excited to watch this transpire.
You stop this awesome train right this second! Totally entering!!!! Eeeeee!
Fantastic! And I love that you were able to put it together.
What is the word I am looking for to describe you…? Oh. That’s right: AWESOME.
🙂
Amazing idea….I am so so so sad I live in Canada :(…you should expand it to Canada. I want your help and I would love to help you help me! 🙂 Good luck to the winner…so sad it won’t be me.
I think this takes the cake for coolest giveway!! Can’t wait to enter my submission. : )
This is such an awesome giveaway! Like I can’t really find the words to describe how awesome! I was totally in. Totally excited to enter my daughter’s room which desperately need you…until I came to the “must have walls that you can paint” part. Crap. We rent and they just will NOT let us paint (even if it’s already 4 or 5 different shades of “white” in a random pattern since we moved in). So…absolutely…crushed…
🙁
you HAVE to come to my house. i just bought a new (circa 1962, one owner) house and i will be moving into it in TWO weeks and the family room has RED floral wallpaper and RED shag carpet. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?! *cue the music* i need you more tonight…i need you more than ever. pickmepickmepickme. you won’t be sorry. ok. i will actually do a blog post and enter legitimately. i just wanted to sink my claws in early, ya know?
OMG how fun and totally awsome is this… too bad you couldnt come all the way to Hawaii!! june is a great time to vacay over here 🙂 I cant wait to see how this one turns out!!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I really need to think about my entry….it must be awesome because I think winning would be super duper fantastic! Best giveaway ever!
Nooooooooooooooooooo…..you said those big, bad words “must live in the continental US.” Why? Why am I moving from Texas to Canada in 2 weeks? Why can’t you come? So sad. So bummed. So wish I wasn’t moving because I have some awesome old pieces that I know you could help me with. On that note, last week I started a blog about decorating my new home and it was inspired by YOU! I’ve even put your linky thingy on my blog. Check it out: https://crystalspalazzo.blogspot.com/ In one of the posts, you’ll see a few of the old peices I want to spruce up. Really, we could have had some fun together!! Have fun with someone in the continental US. I still love your guts, even though I’m crying. 🙁
Alright! I’m here! Come pimp out my apartment…or my new house…hopefully house. Fingers crossed on that part!
Amanda
Mandi You are crazy! But in a good way of course! And its your BIRTHDAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! More like happy birthday to us! That is how awesome you are!
What if you have a room, but it doesn’t technically have walls yet, but it will before June (it better.)
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! OMG! HEHE! Wow! I want to win soooooooo bad! Reading this post gave me MAJOR butterflies in my stomach! 😀 That would be the BEST THING EVER! Espescially because I adore you… and to go thrifting with you… I might die. I hope I don’t. But I might. If I do will you still makeover my room? 😀 Alright. I’m so doing this! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Aly
I was so stoked to enter until I got to the part that said, “You must have walls that can be repainted.” I’m in an apartment and can’t. But I’ll have lots of fun voting for others! Maybe you can do this giveaway once or twice a year… I should have a house in a year or two. 🙂
MANDY, You HAVE to come to my house and do 3 or 4 rooms in my house! I know you only said ONE ROOM, but seriously, let’s do a whole home renovations! We would have so much fun! I may be 8 months prego at that time, but what more fun could I be having than having the biggest Blog Star of the day rip my house apart and put it back together. Oh, and bring your kids. They would love playing with my two little ones!
No.Stinking.Way. NO WAY! This is insane. Fantastic, but insane! What a fabulous idea! So excited to see you makeover someone’s room!
I somehow missed this the day it posted, but came via your new and equally amazing blog project. I will have to try and carve out the time to create and amazing post. If I win can you bring the Leprechaun toilet?
Oh Mandi you are freaking awesome! I think I say that on every comment I leave you, :). I wish I wasn’t a renter or I would so enter this, my living room needs some serious help, it is soooo boring!
Good luck to everyone who does enter though!
Hey Mandy! Cool giveaways. I was just wondering if more than one room could be entered? I was wanting to enter my kitchen and bathroom as seperate entries. Just curious. If not, that’s cool. Just though it was worth asking about. Really excited about getting my post up!
Come to my house and help me with my son’s dino room! But really, just wanted you to know that I mentioned your blog and your new blog on my blog 🙂
Eeek! mind staring with a completely blank and empty room??? I need help with my master bedroom!
I have put the annocement on my blog about your fantastic giveaway. I will add some pictures tomorrow. I would love you to do something to help organize my craft room.
Mandi, I love your blog. I just featured “Vicki” at Treasure & Tranquility 🙂

Oh MY Heck!!!! This is the contest for me! I have lived in my house for almost 10 years, and still haven’t painted my bedroom or done any real decorating in there because I just don’t know WHAT to do!!!!
And of course I come across this when it’s dark here and I can’t get a proper picture of the atrocity that is my master bath.
Morning
CAN.
NOT.
come.
soon.
enough.
Oh, now I feel even worse that I don’t live in the US…. Bah!
Envy envy envy!
