Design Happens

After a week of clues for HGTV’s angelo:HOME Holiday Gift Giveaway, the last clue is finally here.  By now you definitely know that Angelo is the host of Rate My Space, but did you know that the show was inspired by our user generated gallery of the same name?  And this year we launched a Holiday section to let our fans show off all their exquisite holiday designs and decorations.  One of our top contributors, nyclq, uploaded a gallery jam packed with ways to update your dining room throughout the holiday season.

For the 5th clue, we want to know 2 different ways that nyclq dresses up her dining room table for the holidays.  There are lots of great ideas in there, so send us any two.

Now comes the part that everyone has been asking all week: “What do I do with all these answers?”  It’s as simple as sending an email to designhappens@hgtv.com by 12 noon Eastern on Monday, December 7, 2009. Use the subject line “HGTV’s angelo:HOME Holiday Gift Giveaway” and provide the answer to each of the five clues in the body of the email.  The winner will be chosen randomly from all of the correct emails and announced here on the blog on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.

Here’s a summary of everything you need to do:

1. Find the answers to all five clues here on Design Happens that we provided from Monday, November 30 through Friday, December 4.
2. Send an email to designhappens@hgtv.com between 9 AM Eastern Friday, December 4 and 12 noon Eastern Monday, December 7, 2009 with all five answers and the subject line “HGTV’s angelo:HOME Holiday Gift Giveaway”.
3. We’ll sort through all of the correct answers and choose one random email as the winner.
