Yes! I’m all for option A. (I would be into Option B if I had some cool, unique talent to share.) We’re hoping to do our basement soon now that we’ve dealt with some water issues. And we’re all about doing it on a budget! We’re definitely thinking about bringing some “cottage” love to the space. Whatever you guys end up doing, though, this seems like a fun and exciting new adventure!

Hi!

I live in a 1920′s home in the historical neighborhood of Highland Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Some of the more “unique” features of my home, (most pre-existing) are:

-a mural of Lady & the Tramp on my laundry room floor;
-a face coming out of the wall that peers at you as sit on your throne in the basement bathroom;
-a room with 2 walls of casement windows;
-an original brick fireplace with the “alpha” and the “omega” brickwork;
-2 kitchens;
-3 fireplaces;
-the world’s laziest dog who can’t wait to give you LOTS of kisses!

We’d LOVE to have you over at the house. My roommate and I are both lawyers who work hard and play hard. We have a crowd of crazy, fun, and diverse friends who range from non-profit employees to residents at the local university hospital. We get together all the time for important occasions like Sunday dinner or helping with a renovation project.

Layla- I would love to have you help re-do a little cottage that my parents have on their property. They live Grandbay, AL. So excited because no one will ever come down this far for anything! Every home improvement T.V. show is typically based out of CA. Since Montgomery is relatively close ( a little over three hours away) perhaps it may be not be too far!

My Parents built this little cottage to live in while they were building/DIY’in their home. It’s been empty for a while and needs some TLC. Our goal is to fix it up to have a place for my Grandparents to stay/visit/live in the event they can’t stay by themselves.

You guys are great… best of luck for your new 3D endeavors.

ABSOLUTELY!!! We are moving into a new (to me) house that was a foreclosure…which means A LOT of work must be done.

And since it’s a college town I know I could round up a lot of our students to help. Please, Please pick us!!

Mandy Ford says:

Oh my goodness now exciting! I could SO use your help with our kitchen/dining room. It is one large room with very outdated cabinets/counter/sink etc. and needs so much help. We have more of a midcentury/vintage vibe going on in our house though – but I know you could rock that as well. We are in Richmond, Indiana which is right on the Ohio border. And I’m totally going to name drop, but we have a mutual friend – Erin of Rare and Beautiful Treasures. She lives close to me – how fun would it be to do the makeover together?! I’ll stop rambling now but just the thought of having your help to make over our space makes me giddy!

This is totally cool! I am trying to figure out renovations in our home and would LOVE the help. I think you also asked what “talents” I have. Can I offered up my husband?

Oh my goodness! My husband and I read your blog everyday together (we’re both big DIYers now that we have our 1940′s cottage). We live in Valdosta, Georgia. Our home is beautiful and has a ton of character. However, a few year’s back, an addition was made to the house (an office, master bedroom, and bathroom) to connect the home to a freestanding garage. Unfortunately when the owners did this, they did little to ensure this new part of the house maintained the wonderful charm and character found throughout the rest of the house.

Also, we’d be happy to help with your projects! I am really creative/crafty and my husband works for a commercial construction company. We’d love to be a part of your new endeavor. I just started a blog and you can find it at http://www.zachandcallie.blogspot.com

So excited for you and we sincerely hope it works out for you!

There is nothing quite like finding peace and solace in your own home. Iâ€™ve had many life changing events in the past few years that caused me to hasten my retirement. From my own health, my dadâ€™s death and my sweet mother moving in with us. Since then, I have been on a continous mission to try and find a calming order in my home. Being a caregiver when everyone says to care â€œfor yourselfâ€ is an impossible job. I have found that I canâ€™t focus on any one thing because I am trying to focus on everyone else. I daily play Design on a Dime by moving around the things I have! HELPâ€¦.. I would love some guidance to finally be able to put my feet up and say, â€œAhâ€¦..Iâ€™m home.â€

We would LOVE for you to come and redo as many rooms in our home as you want! Den, kitchen, master br, office, guest room, are all in desperate need as well as the basement that we can’t figure out what to do with that was never finished. Built in 1961 I believe. We are desperate for help since we are lacking in creativity. Our friends just took pity on us and came over and painted our living room and dining room. They also switched them (we would never have thought of it) but I think it is still lacking something. We live in the Nashville, TN area.

(Long time Reader subscriber, first time poster) We have a master bedroom that is desperate for attention. We love our bedding, but haven’t done a thing with the rest of the room. I can’t seem to find white bedroom furniture that wasn’t intended for either children or frilly Aunt Gladys, so we’ve been living with a mishmash of Ikea and hand-me-downs. The walls and ceiling are still the matte pale beige that the previous homeowners had the builder spray (who sprays a ceiling beige?) and like most busy couples the last place you decorate is the room that only you two see. We’re in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin (which would be a 30 min trip from the Milwaukee airport and a 60 min trip from Chicago’s O’Hare). I have an art degree but no time, and my husband has lots of ambition but little skills, which is why we’re stuck here. I refer to our taste as Kennedy-compound chic.

Whatever room you would like to do or redo; the whole house if you would like the challenge. I can sew, paint and handle a hammer and nails. Thinking about this for a minute, we have 3 strapping teen boys that could use room redos (who in the world does boys rooms? – scrap that, pb does a great job on boys rooms). Our daughter is at college and her room has turned into the guest room, it could use a touch up too. Anyway, good luck on your adventure!

I think our living room is the next room on the chopping block. Either that or our master bedroom.
The living room has entirely too much wood in there for my taste, and I had yet to figure out my style when I painted the walls a dark red. Think barnyard meets oak nightmare.
Our master is a blank canvas…has been for the last 6 years. White textured walls, ANCIENT carpet, no headboard, my husband’s grandma’s dresser and nightstand…you get the drift.

My husband and I have been slowly changing our 1980′s basic builder home into our own little “beach cottage” one white slipcover, painted brick, and plank of white paneling at a time over the past 3 1/2 years. We’re really good at demo and then slowly bringing our ideas to fruition….a really nice way to say we love the price and appeal of DIY, but it takes us for-ever! Our master bath has been half-demoed for over a year and our master and nursery (1st baby on the way in August!) have been left untouched. I’ve been inspired by so many of your projects over the last few years and would LOVE for y’all to work your magic on any or all of our spaces!!!

He was living alone in Miami, FL. in the home my Husband grew up in. It was the best decision we’ve ever made! The lessons it taught our daughter are invaluable life lessons. Sadly, he passed away a year ago. As for the house, we have not been able to do any updating that we had planned on doing. Our kitchen is large but is seriously outdated!

I’m a mom of three girls in Visalia, CA. My house was built in 2009 and we moved in as soon as it was finished. I love the open floorplan and large windows that come with a newer home, but I hate that there are few to no architectural features or elements to the house–I’d love to have your help with fixing it! I have so many ideas but just as many design dilemmas in my house. For example, all the corners in my house (including window wells) are finished with a curved drywall edge instead of a 90 degree angle. While this is nice, I would love to frame out my windows with molding and add a nice wood sill, but I’m unsure how to do this with the curved edges. And while some finishes are nice–ceramic tile floors and counters in the bathrooms and granite in the kitchen, others, like our oak cabinets, massive bathroom mirrors, and all light fixtures are VERY builder grade. My house needs some personality and charm! Please help.

Awesome! We don’t need help in our house (does that make us sound snobbish? We’re not we just like to do DIY together as a couple bonding thing ) BUT, we are excellent painters, on any surface. We can also wax, stain, oil, and clean rather well too!! We’re not so handy with power tools though haha. We’re located in Lexington, KY so if you ever need help anywhere in Kentucky we’re here for you!

It’s just not me. My husband has said we can replace furniture and paint and I’ve been scouting thrift stores for pieces that are my style.

Meanwhile…my mom and dad just built the house next door to us which is a little stone cottage built in 1939 that needs a major overhaul on the inside. But it’s so full of charm already! They will be working on that project over the summer with plans to have it ready for our family Christmas.

Wouldn’t you LOVE to spend some time on the East Coast this summer?? I’m in Wilmington, DE in a sad little 1950′s rancher that is in need of some serious, serious help. Imagine popcorn paint as far as the eye can see….. ew. I’ve tried to put my own spin on the decor, but with no decorating budget I’ve had to come up with some very creative solutions. I am trying to use the old college hand-me-downs and dress them up where I can while infusing my spaces with some fresh items but it doesn’t seem to be working…

My family owns a lighting store and we’d be willing to help in any way we can!!

pinch me. no, seriously, pinch me! are you guys prepared for all of these responses??!!?!
y’all must have fell and bumped your heads. at the same time! ha!

we live in north alabama, just a hop, skip and a jump away!
and like you, we have started the adoption process.

we could use help in turning our youngest son’s room into a shared space for two, since our new son will be moving in by the end of the year hopefully!

and while it would be wonderful for you to help us on that project, my parents recently made the move from new jersey to alabama and i would LOVE to help you help them get a master bedroom of their dreams!
they help us each and every day and it would be so much fun to surprise them with something like that!

best of luck on all of your upcoming projects! i enjoy your blog so very much!

Ummm.. yes, PLEASE! How could anyone say no to this wonderful offer. I live in a house that from the outside is very cottage-like, but unfortunately, the inside leaves a lot to be desired. I have been a student for the past 9 years so my budget has been pretty limited. I would LOVE to host you guys (I’m a phenomenal cook so there’s a bonus for the time spent!) as we re-do a few rooms. How I would love to come home to a house that actually feels like “me.” Let’s get this party going….

Oh, yeah, I live in Nashville, TN.

Wow–what an opportunity! We just moved into a new (to us, it was built in 1964) house and I have one room where the furniture placement is making me crazy trying to balance a fireplace, built-in bookshelves and the tv plus maintaining a clear traffic path to the stairs. It’s quite the challenge! I love your cottage style, so come on over! We’re just up the road in Hoover, Alabama.

Umm……is that really a question? I would absolutely LOVE for Layla and Kevin to head out to SUNNY SAN DIEGO and take over as many rooms in my house as possible. My husband and I are loving the newlywed life and feel so fortunate to be able to own a home to grow into. However, as I am sure many can relate, Newlywed + New Home = Empty/hand-me-down poor excuse for anything close to designed!

We call our bathroom the Tribute to the 70′s rock out room, our living room the P90X gym, and our office the storage room. They are all up for grabs!

I’d also LOVE to help withy any and all projects you run into out this way. I grew up with a grandma who had a paint brush in her hand every other weekend and can follow directions with best of them!

Hi Layla!

Met you in MN at Junk Bonanza when you were shooting – I worked with Ki……just moved home to Portland, Oregon into a great home that we have been doing some cosmetic renovations in. However, still LOTS of work to be done! The “bonus room” first comes to mind as a great room to work with – it will be a hang out space for our two daughters (ages 9 and 12) – not so much a playroom but more a stylish hangout space.

What a fabulous opportunity! Well deserved.

Hi Layla & Kevin, As I type this we are in the midst of moving to a suburb northwest of Chicago (we move in on Monday!). We bought an 1819 farmhouse which has been redone and is very pretty, but the guest cottage desperately needs your magic worked on it! It is basically a blank slate with a living area, a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. But I can just picture it with a Tybee kind of vibe to it. You can see photos here: http://www.511oakknoll.com. My fingers and toes are crossed!

Well, you ought to be having a hay-day with all these responses! Of course, I’ve got a room I’d be tickled pink to redo – literally! You can even see it on my blog because it is on my list of things to redo. Just go to http://beeinteriors.blogspot.com/2011/04/laundry.html to see just how bad my laundry room really is and my ideas for it! I’d also love to help in anyway. I do murals (this is just too cool!), paint furniture, etc. You can see some of everything on my blog to give you an idea. Thanks for the invite!

Oh my gosh! To have a Lettered Cottage makeover would be amazing. We live in at 1928 house that some crazy person redid in the 70′s and we’ve slowly been trying to replace it’s original charm. We are stuck on both the kitchen and bathroom which 1) we can’t figure out exactly what to do and 2) our DIY skills only go so far (which is why my kitchen cabinets now have three different colors on them!).

We live in San Leandro, CA which is across the bay from San Francisco (great scenic shots for you!).

KandLe (this is my brangelina name for you!) it could be no more fun for you than to come to Bowling Green, KY and help us make our home that has been on a 3 year remodel journey get her final push of makeover love. Think five young children, a dog with an attitude, Kentucky country living, wrap around porch, ponds, and some rooms that are in need of some Kandle loving!! We can paint, sew, knock down walls, cut and hang moulding, bargain shop and laugh and goof off while we are doing it!!

I would LOVE to have you come to our home to redecorate. We just moved to Lincoln, NE into a much bigger house than our last place and I have more ideas than time for making this house into our home. I love beach cottage decor and I’m struggling with how to integrate it into this more traditional, newer home than our last house (which was definitely more of a cottage). So I would absolutely love to see what you would recommend for our house. If you can come to the Midwest, we would love to have you!

I love, love, love your design style and am always coming to your blog for inspiration. However, we have been renters for a few years are are having trouble thinking of ways to reflect our style in a way that can travel with us and not involve much “construction” (e.g. nailing planks to the wall or tearing out a closet). I would always welcome you to come and help us out in any way possible. We currently rent in Austin, TX.

We also have friends with in 30 minutes of us that are expecting their 2nd at the end of the summer and will be moving into their new house soon- and HOLY COW that thing needs paint and help ALL OVER.
I know you guys know how the thought of adding a little one makes that to do list grow and grow and seem so urgent!

Needless to say, we are super busy and I haven’t had time to do anything with her nursery. I Love with a capital L the cottage style and am hoping to give our baby a perfect cottage/whimsical nursery that will also work for her as she gets older. We also need to convert our office into an office/guest room since baby girl is taking over. That said, we also have a blank canvas formal living room and an attached dining room that could use some sprucin’ up. Take your pick!

Hallelujah! Come on down to sunny San Diego!!! My husband and I are in dire need of some Kevin & Layla stylin.’ We have been long time followers of your blog and are HGTV fanatics! (Always waiting for them to film in the San Diego area) Dustin and I are both young teachers that bought our first home about 2 years ago. While we love having a place to call home… we haven’t really had the budget to make it “ours.” We live in a lovable house full of hand-me-downs. Let’s just say there’s lots of potential. My parents live close by. My mom is a part time seamstress and my Dad works as an amateur photographer, and Dustin and I are wannabe DIYers that would all love to pitch in and help out. We share your love of all things beach related and would LOVE for you guys to come share your inspiration with us. This would be the ultimate dream come true! Thanks so much!

This community has warmly welcomed us and we feel very at home.
We have spent the last several years updating the “bones” of our

we are working on the interior… that’s where you come in!!! I have

Oh wow! What an amazing opportunity for some lucky person/people to have you and Kevin do a makeover! I love your style and could only dream of having your help. However, if you are interested, I’m REALLY stuck in my decorating efforts of a few rooms in a house we bought on a 30 acre horse farm located about 30 minutes east of Tampa, Florida. I have the funds for decorating, but I’ve pretty much hit a brick wall when it comes to ideas. (I do plan to incorporate many of your ideas from the “Bright” design plan into my “formal” dining room though.) Could I entice you to come here by offering a horseback ride…or two? If you had time to make it a “working vacation” you would be really close to Tampa’s Busch Gardens, and only about an hour away from all the Orlando theme parks.

P.S. Probably my best DIY skill is painting. I’m a VERY neat painter.

My husband and I would love to be involved in a project with you! Mike is quickly racking up expertise with everything (electrical, drywall, framing) and I’m learning how to support him in everything! We live in Minneapolis, MN and would be up for day trip somewhere! I’m a teacher, so I actually have a lot of time this summer that I could donate to a fun and crafty cause (although I am admittedly the less skilled of this Allen team.) If we would be blessed enough to receive your amazing styling, I think I’d choose the dining room/living room (it’s one long room) because we’ve had some color drama with the paint and can’t quite decide on anything for the walls. If you’re able to wait a year on the room makeover, we’ll be finished with our basement renovation by then (say a prayer that we really are finished in a year!?!) and you could help us with the decor down there instead!

I can’t wait to see your projects, wherever and with whomever they may be!

My husband actually believes that a camp chair from Bass Pro should be a piece of furniture in our family room in the basement we (the royal we-I mean he) are finishing. Help me!

I live in Denmark, WI (10 miles south of Green Bay). I could also use some help with my living room/kitchen/dining area. It doesn’t look finished. I have a tendency to be spare with my decor and I might have gone a bit too spare. But I’m not too sure what to add. And I don’t want to look like I have a ton of junk. So I guess I need help in 2 places. Priority on the camp chair situation please!

Thanks a bunch!
Michelle

Love it! How about my “1970s harvest gold bathroom?” It has lots of potential. I am in Irvine, CA. I might be able to help you, too, with things like painting if you are nearby (sorry, I don’t sew!). Steph.

What a blessing it would be for you to come to Scotts, Michigan (USA) and put your amazing talent to work in our home. Even more… I would love for you to come and transform my sister’s home. It is in need of much love!! I am willing to help in anyway I can!

Any chance you’d like to come to Cincinnati, OH? Should I mention that there’s a prime reality TV audience here?? (That’s actually true.) I’ve got a condo in a building from 1880 that was re-done. The re-do just seems sterile (plus there’s this weird bump-out in the living room that no designer I’ve talked to has been able to come up with a solution for!). You could have your pick of rooms – I couldn’t even decide, as I *love* every room re-do from your house that you post on here! (and every room in my house needs help!) Good luck with everything!

We just bought our house a few months ago and we would love to have you guys come and put some love anywhere in our new house. You can take your pick… we got an empty bedroom, bathroom, dining room, man cave or living room.
