Makeover Contest Rules

As promised in Sunday's introduction of this column here are the rules for the makeover contest.
a) Set a budget
b) Choose one space only
c) The makeover will be cosmetic only i.e paint, window treatment, furniture, accessories.
d) No major renovation projects will qualify i.e no installation of kitchens, removal/replacement of bathtubs/vanities etc..
e) No water features
f) No design fees will be charged but labor for electrical work, carpentry (if needed) and handyman services must be paid from budget set by contest winner
g) A photo of the space must be submitted with entry
h)Entries must be submitted via email to nicole@oasisied.com by 12 p.m Friday, May 23, 2008
I) Entries from Broward and Miami-Dade only. We also reserve the right to consider travel distance in determining winner (pesky gas prices).

There you go. Count the pennies and enter away.
