You finally convince her to come back to your place, and as you work your way over to the couch, she takes one look at your beer-and-food-stained thrift store mess, and bails.

Blame it on years of conditioning from using public restrooms, but chicks refuse to put their ass on anything that's not clean and germ free. So take a quick look around your place. If:
-- Your carpet hasn’t been cleaned since you moved in. Or since the place was built...
-- You’ve flipped over your couch cushions over so many times there's no way to hide the stains...
-- Your source of light and mood lighting is a neon Bacardi sign, left over from your days in the frat house... then it's time for a makeover.

And that don't mean you have to drop a lot of cake to do it. For about $300 you can update your living room's look, just by getting a few key items from SureFit.com.

Couch badly stained or ripped? Throw a slipcover on it. And I aint talking about your grandmama's slipcover. SureFit has been making covers for couches, recliners, loveseats, folding chairs, and pretty much anything you can sit on, since 1914, using the latest designs and styles.

Check out the coffee-colored Twill Supreme cover pictured above. It fits a variety of couch shapes, can make any crappy couch look model-room ready, and it's like getting a brand new couch for about $110.

Throw the Canyon Mosaic rug, over those unidentifiable blotches on the carpet and you're good to go. At a big 5 feet x 7 and a half feet, and $105 bucks, it'll make the room look brand new for not a lot of money. (And the mosaic design helps hide new stains.)

Finish off the transformation with the 48", Japanese-style floor lamp. At just $89, it's got simple, clean lines that'll match whatever you've got going on now, and the cylindrical linen shade throws off soft, warm light - perfect for setting a mood.

Three pieces, about $300 bucks, and your pad is looking tight. And this Friday, September 26, I'm going to give one of you lucky bastards all three pieces - SureFit's Twill Supreme couch cover, the Canyon Mosaic rug and the Japanese-style lamp - so you can get your own place in shape.
