Iam thinking of adding on to the entire house, to make every room 10 feet larger.thats how the house needed to be built in the first place. if i win , thats what we will do . thank you
as i said , i would add to the entire house, why, because its to small.
I love HGTV. I watch it often there are so many beautifully decorated rooms. I enjoy looking at houses being remodeled or refurbished. I can only imagine how wonderful my house could look if I can ever bring out the beauty in it. The curb qppeals are great on HGTV. I have learned a lot from watching HGTV. I am a little more knowledgeable when talking with a contractor or selecting materials. Going along for a ride with HGTV has boosted my pride. Watching HGTV is very relaxing and stress free for me. I enjoy traveling the US and foreign countries with HGTV. The houses rooms and gardens transformations are amazing on HGTV. Thanks for the great programs on HGTV.

HGTV is my very favorite site. I will use the money to redo dated kitchen and redo bath to accomadite my disabled veteran husband. HGTV is so much fun to watch and think how I would love doing the things that get done on different shows. Cable news is getting so mean and depressing that it is a great joy to have HGTV and watch the transformation done on the different shows. Thank you HGTV you are such a popular informative station.
I watch your show every day. It allows me to dream as well as be happy for all those you help to change living styles. I live in Michigan and it gets cold! I live in an old house so the original windows make my heat bill jump! Needless to say, an entire house of new windows would proivde a skip to my heart and a warm place for my son who lives with me. He is 35, has mental retardation and autism. To dream beyond windows of warmth would allow me to extend my living space to welcome his friends and other families with people who have disabilities. I learn from your show. Color is important, placement of things is important, but most of all the love that “lives” in the homes your wonderful design artists share when they work with families is a joy to watch! Thank you for the contest and all the other good work that comes from HGTV.
I love to watch HGTV (it is what I wathc the majority of the time) and often see so many things I would like to do to my home. Being a single mother and having two children in college, I don’t have the money or time to do most of the things I would like. I have often thought of things I would like to do–new wood floors, granite countertops, bathroom remodel, central air, and there are many repairs that are needed. I would have to prioritize if I won. But my dream would be to have Candice Olsen decorate my whole house.
Bathrooms in need of renovation.
I would like hardwood floors.
Finish replacing enegy saving windows.
Adding a room between the garage and the house.
I love everything on hgtv. I have absolutely no gift when it comes to decorating. That’s why I’m in such “awe” of all the designers. But like thousands of people, Candace Olsen just takes my breathe away, everytime I watch her do magic when she transforms a room. I’ve lived in my very small home for 35yrs. Every room is rundown. I use to love to have holidays here. But now, I’m too ashamed to have people over. Which makes me so sad. OH-what a dream it would be to have Candace come & do her magic at my house. Watching hgtv is such fun, because you get a chance to see so many people change their lives & be proud of where they live. Thank you for that. Barbara E. Williams
I entered for this and was hoping that maybe my name was here for a finalist. I didn’t know about it until October 2 and entered and it was and happened to be last day. Just my luck but did get in I can say that much.
I have absolutely no luck when entering these type of things. I purchsed my home about three years ago after moving from California to be closer to parents. My husband and I have had to repeatedly have my father come and stay with us do to his declining health. We had planned to paint our living room and then find out what going on with our upstairs bathroom and later on we would like to update and expand our kithen space. Currently we have our two son’s staying with us do do the economy and our daughter just had surgery and finally started back working, but is in need of financal assistance. Do not get me wrong, I have been blessed just to have acquired our house and even if I am not chosen I will remain focused and take care of my family
dear hgtv
I have dreamed of redoing my inlaws kitchen since we spent out honey moon in there newly bouse over 10 years ago. the kitchen is dated to some time in the 50’s and has done nothing but fall apart on them more and more each year. we resently moved in with them and sad to say that now we have 5 people who cant really cook iv always dreamed of being able to cook but never had a budget to pratice with. if we won i would up date my inlaw kitchen and the back yard for my 2 year old and make it kid safe since they have a pool. if any money is left i would adopt a baby girl that my husband and i dream about .
My husband has traveled for his job as a railroader all of our marriage. He has missed watching his children grow up and has made many sacrifices in order to provide for his family, sometimes traveling as far as 15 hours away from home. After working a 10-12 hour working day, he sometimes had to drive 15 hours just to spend one day with us before having to travel 15 hours back.
We are purchasing a 4 acre piece of land with a foreclosure on it. IT is in terrible shape, and needs to be completely gutted on the inside, and needs a new roof immediately. But it has always been his dream to have some land to raise bees on, and to have a small garden.
We are buying it for a pretty good price, but it will take every cent we have with no money left for repairs.
I would love to give my husband a nice home to retire in so that he can take a much deserved break from the very hard physical labor that he has endured for 34 years. One of the unsung heros of America, a railroader.
I guess every one thinks that when their working a job, there hoping that their job will last a lifetime. But things changed for us we were hoping that we could remodel our home , but things just didn’t work out, I lost my job in 2008 then my husband lost his in 2010. But we still have our home. I hope that we might be the next winners of the sweetstakes so we can remodel our home. Have a blessed Day.
We live in a home that was built for overnight guest who love the outdoors so they would buy property near disney. Every rooms in the house has massive windows which leave little wall space. The kitchen has great views, but no upper cabinets, it style is of the 50’s so laminate counter tops, cypress wood walls. The cabinet doors don’t shut and counter tops are peeling and coming unglued. It has so much potenial without taking the views away. The master bathroom also needs help. A mutiple mesh of different color green tiles. The toilet and sinks even are green.
I am a single mom with a 17 year old boy at home. I have a 350 square foot single car garage. Last year I put together a small game room for my son and his friends. I put a wall up and only used half the area.
This year I made a bedroom on the other side of the wall. My son loves his freedom.
However, there is no plumbing outside to be able to add a kitchen and bathroom. I would love to make this space into a one-bedroom apartment. My son will live at home with me until he finishes College and then I could rent the apartment for extra income when my son moves out on his own.
Please help my dream come true. For my son and for my future.
Thank you for considering my application.
I love all the shows on HGTV. Pam
Iwould love to have a new second bathroom. The one now is 33 years old.Needs to be up dated. Ihave lived in florida for 33 years now .Had to retire due to economy 2008. hope to save money to do this would love to win a new bath. lOVE my home ALWAYS took great pride in it.Thats my story Thanks .
I watch your show at every opportunity that I get because it’s so full of budget minded ideas. The home that I live in right now is an older one and it need some serious updating from the kitchen to the bathrooms. But I’m on a very tight budget and about the only thing I can do is paint. I love to cook and my kitchen is small and needs to be updated. My bathrooms are also very small and I would like to make one of them bigger. My dining area has serious floor issues, concrete which are all cracked [We bought the house like this] and the rest of the rooms well they need help too.
Once again great show I looove it.
Our home was built in 1932. It is small but very comfortable. Homes built then, are lacking closets or storage. We have tried to be creative, making space for everything that families have in 2010.
When I watch HGTV I have visions of knocking down walls, and making the space we have, more funtional. We have lived in our home for 17 years, my husband and I are both 59 yrs. of age, and won’t look for another home. We’ve recently added Real Touch flooring to our living and dining room. I’ll never have carpet again!!!!!! We have ceramic tile in our kitchen and hope to carry the Real Touch all the way through the rest of our home. Our bathroom is a disaster!!!! Thats the next project.
If I were to win the makeover, we would do everyhting, we have in mind……….all at once……..instead of waiting between projects to get our desired outcome.
This would be the perfect thing to finish our retirement home. We have been living here for 13 years and never quite got it finished, due to some set backs, and things aren’t the same on a fixed income. Our whole home could be done to our perfection.
most any thang is ok with me.
dear hgtv I have always dreamed of a large bedroom, with bath and room to move around in. Would love kitchen and living space all in one.I dream of home repair all the time, guess i will go on dreaming.Thanks
