Interior designer Kristine Neri-Magturo of Abode & Co., transformed a modest home into a cozy space for a single mom and her five kids.

Have your possessions taken over your current living space? Do you need to breathe new life into your outdated home? Do you need help revamping your crib to make it more livable but are overwhelmed at the prospect? Don’t despair! Real Living is here to help.

In 50 words or less, simply tell us why your living space deserves a transformation for a chance to win The Ultimate Makeover 2015. This contest is open to readers residing in their current residence, whether owned or leased, for at least two years. Areas covered are Metro Manila and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Bulacan, or Rizal.

“Our Ultimate Makeover is one of the longest running free makeovers in the country,” says Real Living editor in chief Rachelle Medina. “With this makeover, the lucky winner gets a complete renovation of the major areas of their home from one of our designers. Plus the homeowner gets a lot more in the process—a valuable lesson in making the most out of their space, no matter the floor area or budget.” It comes as no surprise that upon revisiting past makeover winners, many of the owners have maintained their home and some have even improved it further since the initial renovation.

“When it comes to sprucing up their homes, Real Living’s devoted readers have turned to the magazine for more than a decade with one goal: for inspiration on achieving their dream home. Time and time again they’ve told us the before and after photos in our Real Makeover section have motivated them to see the endless possibilities in their own challenging areas,” says Real Living’s associate publisher Tom Castañeda. “For us, the Ultimate Makeover is our chance to thank our readers for their continued support, with one lucky reader getting a major overhaul in their home. And with the gracious support of our sponsors, Robinsons Department Store, Boysen, JamesHardie and Handyman, and the vision of Real Living’s talented design team, someone will get to see their dream of a better home realized for free!”

All you have to do is to send your entry with your full name, birth date, occupation, telephone numbers, e-mail address, and complete home address along with your brief answer to the question: Why does your space deserve an ultimate makeover? Don’t forget to include at least three clear photos of the area or rooms that need a makeover, as well as a solo photo of yourself or a photo of you with your family.
