For anyone who’s ever fantasized about HGTV knocking on their door and telling them they’re getting a home makeover, the network’s new HGTV’d series is hell-bent on making that dream come true! Starting June 6th, HGTV is taking their show on the road with a shiny red 18-wheeler, set to fulfill the home makeover fantasies of people looking for some uplifting change. HGTV’s team of design stars will travel across America, visiting families and transforming outdated living rooms, dull basements and boring backyards into one-of-a-kind spaces for enjoyment. To help celebrate the launch of the new series, we’ve teamed up with HGTV to give one lucky reader a $100 AMEX gift certificate to spend on a little green home makeover for themselves. Jump ahead for details on how to win!
