What could be more satisfying than de-cluttering the entire house or completely remodeling the kitchen to utmost perfection? How about getting someone else to do it? Someone like Good Housekeeping's organizing guru Lorie Marrero, or designer Gary Paul who will come to your home for a one-day House Beautiful bedroom makeover.
Only because the mere thought is like bubble bath for the mind, sign yourself up or nominate a friend for these fabulous makeover sweeps going on now:
1. Good Housekeeping's $25,000 Kitchen Makeover

All you have to do is sign up and upload a pic of your kitchen to enter GoodHousekeeping.com's "Win a Kitchen Makeover" sponsored by Samsung. You can vote for your picture as many times as you want. For $25,000 worth of gift cards, that's a small price to pay. Turn on your favorite movie, put your feet up and start clicking!
2. Macy's/Hearst Communication's The Hotel Collection Designer Visions Sweepstakes

Ever lamented that your fancy hotel sheets won't fit in your suitcase? The grand prize winner of Macy/Hearst's sweeps wins $1,000 worth of Hotel Collection bedding plus a visit from designer Gary Paul for a one-day bedrooom makeover. Room service and exotic locale unforunately not included.

4. "Live with Regis and Kelly" Home For The Holiday Makeover
Expires 10/27/09
Re-route your letter to Santa this year to Regis and Kelly to win this home makeover sweeps for you or a loved one. According to the rules, all you need to do is tell them "who needs the makeover and why, how long it's been since you (or your nominee) have been home, the one person you (or your nominee) want to surprise." I'd include a pic of your best puppy dog eyes as well, just for good measure.
5. Good Housekeeping's Clutter Makeover Contest
Expires 11/30/09
Two out of five people in the U.S. are admitted pack rats (okay, those numbers aren't exactly scientific but based on observations of my own family). Now's the chance to let your messiness pay off - write a short 250 word essay and submit to Good Housekeeping along with photos to win an organizing makeover worth $5,000. Contest expires November 30th, which gives you plenty of time reach the artistic peak of your dishevelment.
