    It would be a great help in redoing the bathroom but it would be a great help in paying for gas for the car.

  2. jackie s

    i’d use it to fund getting an ipad.. or just finish re-doing our dining room and office

    Hmmmmm… I would absolutely buy a *new* coffee table with that gift card. I’m redecorating on a non-existent budget…. selling off stuff I already have, and turning that money around (via craigslist) on used (and revamped by me) furniture. I’d love nothing more than to top the space off with a brand spanking new coffee table, center stage. Glass… or white marble maybe. Clean, chrome-y goodness.

  7. Alison

    Also, liked you & apartment guide on facebook. ;)

  8. Rachel

    I would get a new light fixture for the dining room!

  10. Tracey

    Ooh, $200 bucks burning a hole in my pocket….let’s see, I think I would put it toward new carpeting. Yes, I know everyone wants hardwood throughout but I still like carpet in the majority of our home.

  11. rachel

    I would spend $200 bucks on some new back to school clothes for me. Why should the kids get all the new clothes?

  12. nest of posies

    i would use it for our front porch. it’s so ugly right now, any spruce up would help. LOL. it needs a new paint job, desperately…so i would use the money to paint a painter.

  13. NancyO.

    I need a new water heater so it would probably go toward that…

  18. Stacy

    I would love to buy a new light fixture for the bedroom. I am so tired of the ceiling fan!

  19. Carolyn

    I’m in the middle of decorating my living room (moved into a new house and didn’t have any furniture in it!!) so all of the money would go towards that! Probably accessories and pillows and curtains at this point!

  20. Monica De Silvestro

    We are in the middle of a kitchen renovation, so I would probably put it towards a new over the range microwave. That way I can get rid of the dinosaur we now have :)

  21. Barbara (WA)

    Gee-whiz, where to start. I think I would most likely use it towards new bedroom carpeting…

  22. Erin

    I would buy three bar stools for our (current) stand up bar.

  23. melissa s

    A new living room rug.

  24. Erin Tobias

    I’d use it towards a leather chair for my living room…

  25. Meredith Gardner

    I’d use the money for paint and picture frames! Thanks!

  26. Rachel

    New kitchen chairs would be wonderful.

  27. Sarah

    Put it towards the car I’m saving for!

  28. lizinwfb

    Definately it would go towards bedding!

  29. Bri

    I would love to get some tile for the bathroom remodel I’ve been planning.

  30. Jessie

    I’d use it for plane tickets to go visit my dear friend. She just moved away and is expecting any day now!

  31. Kate

    I’ve bought fabric to have a great old chair recovered, so I’d love the gift card to pay for reupholstering!

  32. Emily

    I would use it towards getting my little boy’s “big boy bed” ready, or if it could be on me – for fall clothes :)

  33. Teri Brilhart

    I’d buy more books! Or maybe some shelves… :)

  34. cindy hicks

    since I’ve been unemployed now for almost 3 years, I’d probably use it for something practical (ugh), but I need a new floor in my small bathroom, where the tile has peeled up and has a stain on it. So that’s what I’d buy with the $200!

    Practical, but definitely necessary!

  35. beth

    I would love to have a new rug for my den. I just finished scraping the cottage cheese off my ceilings ,painting walls and trim, redid my fireplace (copied from Layla) got new slipcovers and now need a new rug! Thanks for the chance to win!

  36. Arianne

    Wow, $200 I would probably put it towards the new kitchen floor that we still haven’t got done. :) Those darn on-going projects that last ffoorreevveerr! ;)

  37. Ashley

    I would buy paint for our new home!

  38. Ashley

    I voted for you on Apartment guide!

  39. Emily

    I would buy a rug for the living room with the $200 gc!

  40. fawn

    I’d put it toward an upcoming trip. :)

  41. Elizabeth

    I have a baby on the way… so I’m sure I could find something for his/her room :)

  42. Nisa

    I’d use it to buy either an entryway or dining area pendant light!

  43. Shelley

    Hello! Thanks so much for this opportunity to win something! How fun! I would use the gift card to buy paint and hire someone to paint our stairway/entry area. We usually paint ourselves, but scaffolding/heights get to me. We haven’t repainted since we moved in in 1997, and since 6 kids roam these halls, it more than needs it!
    Blessings!

  44. Nisa

    I liked The Inspired Room on Facebook! (I’d buy either an entryway or dining room pendant with the $200)

  46. Kelli

    I’d spend sprucing up our master bedroom. We’ve been focusing on our kids’ rooms lately and our room remains in shambles. I think we deserve to have a pretty space of our own!

  47. Cassie

    I am in the middle of turning our third bedroom into a multi functioning room, I could soooo use that to organize and spruce things up in there! =D

  48. teresa

    I would use the $200 to add to the pot for the perfect wedding gift for my sister. I am planning on antique shopping in VT for a great piece of furniture for their home. My sister is a poor PhD student ready to be a grown-up with grown up things this would help!

  55. heather

    We are in the process of re-doing our upstairs right now to convert a bedroom into a playroom for our toddler. I would use the money to furnish out the room with fun, colorful accessories like laps, frames for her artwork, curtains and a tbke and chairs that are just her size!

  62. Kelly

    Would love some new art!

  63. leslie

    wow! that’s be a tough choice! It’d either be something fun for the basement that we’re having to re-do because of water damage earlier this year, or a momma roo for the new babe November!

  64. brooke

    I’m want to redo the bedroom, so I’d pick something that would make a great piece to do the rest of the room around.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  65. Alissa

    I think I’d buy a bench to put on my small front porch. Or some planters to put on either side of my front door. Something to increase my curb appeal!

  71. Judy

    My powder room needs a makeover – this would go towards that budget

  80. kathy h

    I’d do a mini remodel on the bathroom. I need to paint it, buy a new shower curtain and rugs — maybe towels if there is any money left over.

  88. Amber

    We moved into our apartment over a year ago and I spent a lot of time fixing up all of the rooms but our living room. I couldn’t quite figure out what to do with it until recently, and I’m sure it has felt quite neglected. I sure could use $200 to help me out! (to a student, $200 is a HUGE sum :))

    Love the giveaway!

  92. Paula

    Great giveaway! I’m coming out of retirement and going back in front of the classroom again so a gift card would come in very handily as I try and update my work wardrobe.

  93. heather ritchie

    Wow, I’m not even sure what I would do with $200 but you better believe I’ll find something to spend it on. I think either an accent chair for our living room or some patterned pillows or curtains. I need some pattern in my life right now. Ooooh, or maybe an accent table for the living room or a bench for the foot of the bed! I told you I could find something to spend it on ;)

  94. Dianne

    I would put it toward my “new couch” fund.

  95. Deb Martell

    Hunt for more fun things to paint!

    We still have the original light fixtures in our 1900 house, and *most* of them still work. If I had a $200 gift card, I’d buy a new light for our master bedroom, since it only half works (1 bulb out of 2).
