Have a "small space" in your house that could use a facelift? eBay and Family Circle Magazine want to know how you'd decorate and upgrade that kitchen nook, home office, nursery, or other small space as part of the "Designing Small Spaces" contest. Simply visit our contest page by September 25th to submit an essay of 250 words or less describing the space, and how you'd use your creativity and passion for finding unique products on eBay to make your vision for your small space a reality. You'll also need to upload a photo of the space that you'd like to redesign and enter the dimensions to be eligible for the contest.

Four finalists will be selected in October and given $2,000 that will be deposited in their PayPal accounts. They'll then shop on eBay to complete their redesign by December 15th - and receive a consultation with eBay's Design Director, Shawn Henderson!  In January, the eBay Community will vote for the grand prize winner, who will receive $5,000 to spend however they wish!

If you need a little inspiration, check out our previous winners and their redesigns. For more information and to enter, please see our Designing Small Pages contest page and read the official rules. We look forward to reading about your small space and how you'd like to transform it!
