Decor&You Challenges Denver-Area Residents to a Closet Clean-Up

DENVER, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring cleaning is in the air, and the DecorDesigners of Decor&You in Colorado, along with the storage solution experts at Rubbermaid, have teamed up to bring the ultimate clean-up to one cluttered closet in the Denver area.  Today, the two companies launched Colorado's Closet Clean-Up Challenge, an online contest that will award one lucky winner a complete closet makeover valued at up to $10,000.

Residents in the Denver metro and surrounding areas may enter the contest beginning today through June 13, 2011 at www.facebook.com/decorandyouhr or www.facebook.com/decorandyoucolorado. To enter, Denver-area residents will need to upload a photo of their cluttered closet along with a brief explanation of why it is in desperate need of a makeover. Five finalists will be selected, and the Decor&You and Rubbermaid team will choose one grand prize winner to receive a dream closet designed by Decor&You featuring Rubbermaid's Heirloom Collection.  

"At Decor&You, we believe no one should have to start their day with the frustration of digging through their closet," said Linnore Gonzales, Territory Director of Decor&You in Denver.  "Our decor designers cannot wait for this ultimate spring cleaning challenge and the opportunity to help our winner conquer the clutter and love the space they are in."

Designed to maximize space and style, Rubbermaid's Heirloom Collection features drawers, islands, shoe shelves and jewelry storage that create a durable storage system with lasting beauty.  The winner of Colorado's Closet Clean-Up Challenge will enjoy a new closet design and installation, including furniture, lighting and accessories.  Contestants must be 18 years or older to enter and reside in the Denver metro and surrounding areas.  Challenge rules and regulations can be found at www.facebook.com/decorandyouhr.
