Get a Brand New Kitchen If You're Chosen by TV Makeover Show

We get a lot of announcements and offers, most of which never make it onto All Life Is Local, but we thought the one below was too intriguing to pass up. It's from IKEA, the sponsor of the reality TV Show "Fix This Kitchen" on A&E, Saturdays at 9:30am.  Here's the deal in a nutshell:

1. You need to have a sad-looking kitchen that's desperately in need of a makeover.

2. You need to be an enthusiastic cook, preferably with a bouncy, perky, TV-ready personality.

3. The nomination form must be filled out by someone other than you, who lives in the DC metropolitan area. 

Now here's the deal in the sponsor's own words. (Be sure to read the fine print at the end.)

Important: The Accomplice and Nominee must live within the same area. Also, either the Accomplice or Nominee must own the home that is to be renovated. If not, the actual homeowner must consent to the makeover and be responsible for the tax implications (see below).

**Please note: Although all of the materials and labor for the kitchen makeover are given to the Nominee free of charge, we are required by law to notify the IRS of the transaction. As a result, the Nominee will be responsible to pay taxes on the total cost of the makeover.
