If you’ve ever watched an episode of Property Brothers, Fixer Upper or Love It Or List It on HGTV, you know how affordable it can be to give a room in your house a major refresh. A coat of paint, or a new planter can make a world of difference when it comes to the cozyness or stylishness of your living space.
Greg and I tried our own hand at a DIY do-over, turning our rarely-used guest room into a functioning home office with a Murphy bed … all for less than $600!
Now, you’ve got the chance to bring your Pinterest “Dream Home” board to life with a $5000 gift card from Houzz. If you’re the lucky winner, you’ll be able to shop from millions of stylish home products, and give a room (or maybe the whole house!) the refresh you’ve been daydreaming about.
… with $5000, you may even have cash to spare! If you’ve got some left over, you could:
Gift something lovely to a friend or family member
Donate a piece of needed furniture to a local shelter or a chapter of Habitat for Humanity
Help out a new immigrant or refugee with some basics for a new home
… the options are endless!
Want to be eligible to win this week’s MEGA Summer prize?
If you’re not yet an OhmConnect user, get registered. Not only could you be eligible to win $5000 to spend at Houzz, but you’ll be entered into a program that actually pays you to save energy on a weekly basis. We might be a bit biased, but we think it’s pretty sweet ;)
Keep an eye out for #OhmHour notifications you receive this week
If you spot a MEGA #OhmHour in your inbox, take a close look at the goal set for you. (They will something along the lines of "use 1 kWh or less." These targets are tailored to your own personal energy use, so everyone has an equal chance of hitting the goal.)
If you achieve your goal, you will be put in the pool of others who did the same and one name will be randomly selected as the reward recipient
Tune in on Sunday at 5pm to OhmConnect’s Facebook page to watch the live broadcast of the winners, alongside other important MEGA Summer updates (Pro tip: to get a notification when we go live, ‘like’ the Facebook page ahead of time.)
If you don’t win this week’s prize but you successfully meet your MEGA #OhmHour goals three times during the MEGA Summer promotion, you’ll be entered to win our end-of-summer grand prize of $100,000. (Amazing, right?!)
