Walmart $500 Bedroom Makeover Giveaway!
August 20, 2009 by Sandy
Just one of the Cute products that Your Zone at Walmart have to offer.
I was lucky enough to be asked by Walmart to do this bedroom makeover and I am thrilled to be able to pass it onto you. They provided me with a $500 gift card to redo one of my teens rooms. I have to present a video of the finished product to them and they will feature it on their “Get Inspired” area of their web site.
Walmart has a great line of products for Teen bedrooms called Your Zone. These are all mix and match, very reasonable priced products that make it both easy and affordable to completely redo a bedroom for a price that most of us can handle. I know for me, bedrooms are lower on the list of priorities for spending much money on…so this was so much fun to do. They have a really cool tool on their site that lets your virtually design your room. We were able to use the make over section and Tim helped to figure out what he wanted in his room. (Of course I had to make sure I had some organizing features in it too…you will see when my video is complete.)
We have 5 children living in our 2,000 sq ft home. We are a little cramped…but its all good. We have had our two teenage boys sharing a bedroom. Tim 16 years old and Drew, 15 years old have had a set of bunk beds, two dressers and not much else in this 12×12 room (approximate). I discussed this project and the two of them made the decision. Tim was going to stay upstairs and have his room redone by Walmart. Drew was going to go to the basement and have an unfinished portion of the basement made into his “Man Cave” (as he has nick named it) So off we go. Stay tuned to my blog as I will have pictures of Drew’s basement transformation too.
I will soon have Tim’s room complete. We have his bed up and most everything purchased, walls painted and we are almost ready to go. Stay tuned for the completion video.
RULES TO WIN (Please follow if you want to be eligible to win)
To have a chance to win this $500 gift card from Walmart to be used to purchase Your Zone products to redo your teens bedroom..this is what you need to do. I am going to include a little younger than teen also. I have 8 year old triplets and they love the products. So since I do need to pick a cut off age, instead of going 12- years and older (this is really geared more for the 12-17 year age group)….I am going to go down to 8 years old (by August 20, 2009) and no older than 17 years old…be eligible for this giveaway. The winner will not be picked by a voting process because I want all of you to have a fair chance.
You must agree to spend the $500 to redo the bedroom if you win. I would like a before and after picture that I can post on my site.

i like the walnut bunk bed. i also like the white one. my daughters share a room and they are in DIRE need of a bedroom set. my daughter is 11 and my step daughter is almost 14. it’s a mess. the bottom two drawers on the high boy broke. the other dresser doesn’t match. the beds are falling apart. the nice thing is, the walls are a pretty color!! on my husbands teacher budget, raising 5 kids, it’s hard to get them luxuries like nice bedroom sets. and boy, could we use this!!

Hey Sandy,
My soon-to-be 11 year old stepdaughter’s bedroom desperately needs a makeover! For one thing, my husband has tried to paint the room several time and he’s not the neatest painter, so her furniture has drips and drops all over the place. Also, she has finally stopped wetting the bed, so it’s time to celebrate with a new bed – I’m thinking either the zzz place to be bed in white or one of the loft collection speaker headboards, which would save so much space in her room and give my husband and I our stereo back!
I just stumbled this post, plus I already follow you on twitter, facebook, and LinkedIn!
I would choose the zone loft collection speaker headboard, brown cane, but Matt would have to decide that. I would like to win this for the 8 (almost 9yo) son of one our blogger mommies in our group. He would so appreciate it!

My son is eleven and has been begging for a loft bed; so the metal loft would probably be my favorite. However, my second choice (and the one I’d try to talk him into) would be the speaker headboards. VERY COOL!

Aaaaaaand Stumbled!
I would redo my 10 (soon to be 11) daughter’s room in the black and white polka dot bedding. I would love to use black, white and pink colors.
