Just for entering, contestants will receive a special coupon for 20 percent off any item in the new Michael Payne Collection, and a second, 10 percent discount on their next purchase of any of the one million products offered on CSN Stores' 200 U.S. sites. The Michael Payne Collection includes contemporary and traditional furniture, rugs, mirrors and lighting that marry style with fun and elegance with affordability.
"Having a healthy relationship with your bedroom is an important part of leading a happy lifestyle," said Mr. Payne. "After all, you begin the day and end it in the same way – in your bedroom – so a strong bedroom bond can go a long way. If you start to lose interest in this special space, you need to re-think the relationship."
The grand prize package will feature a number of fashion-forward, Michael Payne finds from his partner brands including Lazar, SIS Covers, Barcelona Concepts, Foreign Accents, Shady Lady, Crystal Art Gallery, and Johnston Casuals. The winner's outdated sleeping sanctuary will be transformed into a bold and bright space where he or she can relax and unwind in a world of design bliss. On top of the grand prize package, the winner will also receive an in-home consultation by Mr. Payne.
"Colorful and contemporary accents are turning into a big 2010 trend," said CSN Stores' Accent Furniture Category Manager Ryan Fitzpatrick. "Michael continues to push the design envelope to new and exciting levels with his collection and we're excited to collaborate with him. The bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the home, and it deserves to benefit from Michael's special designs."
To enter the contest, people should log onto www.csnstores.com/bedroombreakup and briefly describe why they want to 'break up' with their bedroom and how their new, ideal bedroom would both look and feel. CSN is accepting entries today through April 15, 2010.
Mr. Payne and CSN's judges will choose the contest finalists, asking them to submit a picture of their troubled bedroom as the second phase of the contest. The grand, second and third-prize winners will be announced in mid-May and the bedroom relationship makeover will occur soon afterward.
The second prize has a retail value of $500 and includes a one-of-a-kind, two-panel bedroom divider autographed by Mr. Payne. The third prize is an elegant Michael Payne candle set and a $200 Gift Certificate to CSNStores.com.
