Green Rooms in a Box — Series Logo

Green Rooms in a Box series: Vibrant, Luxurious Bedroom on a Dream Budget*Green Rooms in a Box series: Vintage Mod Dining Room Under $5000*Green Rooms in a Box series: Modern Boy's Nursery Under $2500

The Green Rooms in a Box series has been very well-received, with lots of readers expressing their admiration for it. Though it can be time consuming to find all the products to go into a room that is all green, I love doing it. So I want to challenge myself and reward my awesome, loyal readers at the same time. Here goes nothing:

Win your own Green Room in a Box!

I’m going to create an eco-friendly room plan for one lucky reader. To make it clear, you’ll be winning the room design plan — not the products to go in it.  I’ll do any room you want: living room, bedroom, office, playroom…whatever. I’ll work within the budget you set, and it can be a real budget or an imaginary one. To be fair, realize that if your budget is very low, your room will consist of reusing many of your current furnishings or shopping on Craigslist. I’ll do my best to stay true to your design preferences. You like shabby chic? I’ll honor it. Ultra contemporary? I’ll honor it. Here’s your chance to have the eco-friendly room of your dreams designed.

So how do you enter? This giveaway will be a little different from all my others. Instead of entering all subscribers, only commenters will be entered. That said, there’s still several ways to enter. Please be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry:

  1. Leave a comment about what room you want to have designed and why. Tell me a little bit about your budget (real or imaginary) and style. If you’re a bit indecisive, don’t worry. If you are the winner, you can feel free to ask for something different than what you said in your comment.
  2. If you haven’t already, sign up for Green Your Decor’s email updates by 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, October 17, 2008. You must verify your email subscription to be eligible. After you sign up, FeedBurner will send you a verification email. Please do not ignore it — your entry will be invalid if you do not verify. All current subscribers are eligible to win. Please leave a separate comment letting me know you’re an email subscriber.
  3. If you’d prefer to receive your updates via RSS, sign up for the GYD feed. Then please leave a comment letting me know that you’ve done so, and be sure to include your email address. RSS subscribers are anonymous otherwise.
  4. Blog about GreenYourDecor.com and post a link to your blog entry here in a separate comment.
  5. Stumble or give a thumbs up to any page at GreenYourDecor.com via StumbleUpon and post a link to your SU profile to verify your thumbs up in a separate comment.
  6. Fave Green Your Decor on Technorati. Then come back here and leave a comment with your Technorati user name so I can verify it.
  7. Tweet a link to Green Your Decor or this contest (it can be a tiny URL) and post a link to your twitter page or directly to the tweet in a separate comment.

So that means every participant can receive up to 7 entries. You have until 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, October 17, 2008, to enter. The prize will be delivered electronically, so entries from all over the world are welcome. A winner will be chosen via Random.org and contacted via email. The winner’s room will be posted here at Green Your Decor. Good luck everyone!

I bought a handyman special 5 years ago without a handyman and I can’t seem to bring all of the elements together. I just want something welcoming and simple. I need to replace the floor very soon but I can’t find a solution that is 1) sustainable 2) durable {I have dogs!} and 3)affordable. The old wall to wall carpeting must GO!

I not only want everything to be green (sustainable and low VOC) but I want it to feel green too. I love natural materials, but I’m looking for something that will last. The most important room is my living room which is also the entry room. Space is also a concern since the room is not large.

I’m an email subscriber. Thanks!

I would love to redo any room in our house green. Our goal is eventually to do the whole house, but we gotta start somewhere right? Well I think if we were to pick one room it would be our kitchen I think. We have about $10,000 saved for remodeling. We love the modern style, also anything with the bamboo or wood look to it!

I would love to have a luxury bathroom. A huge soaking tub and a mod new shower with multiple shower heads. Modern sleek lines. All white like a spa, but with natural elements like bamboo and green accents. Plants and candles too. Would love to have all or mostly natural eco-friendly products, but I have no idea what kind of budget that would entail.

Because we just re-designed our living room, I would love to have my boyfriend and my’s bedroom be next! From what I have been searching online, my ideal budget would be about $3000 – enough for a new bed frame, new sheets and comforter cover, some wall art, and hopefully eco-friendly bamboo flooring. We also would love to update our bookcases and TV stand. He loves black, but hopefully I could convince him to encorporate some pink! :-)

I would probably have you redesign one of our living areas. In one, we have 16,363 books and a stupid layout to deal with, and in the other, we have blah. Wow, I sound so positive. :-)

I sure would like to redo my room. I’ve spent everything I have on doing my son’s room (which he doesn’t even sleep in!) and I’m still stuck with my old, cheapo, mismatched stuff. If I could just get new pillows I would be happy. My old pillows are about as plush and cushy as my sheets. I really have been craving some organic wool pillows, but they’re so expensive. I could probably afford $800, tops. I don’t know what my style is. Sometimes I like earth tones and nature inspired looks, other times I like bright and exotic looks, and other times clean and modern. What do you get if you mix all those elements?
