Is your bedroom a nightmare?
No sooner had wrapped up its “Living Room Search and Rescue” contest (in which the online home store enlisted TV designer Angelo Surmelis to overhaul one Pittsburgh-area living room that had literally gone to the dogs), CSN announced its “Big Bad Bedroom Break-Up Contest.” The winner of this contest must be someone with a nightmare of a bedroom.
