Greetings!
We have some exciting news to share today! We’ve been working on something “design TV-related” for a while now, and we’re really excited about the direction it’s moving in.
Think: our blog in 3D…meaning, low-dough/high-smile room redos, real-life DIY adventures, and lots of YOU!
At this point, we need to see if you’d be into A) having us over to help you redo a room or two (or three!), and/or B) helping us redo someone’s elses space(s). (Maybe you’re a mural artist, or a seamstress, or you’d just like to lend a helping hand by painting a wall or working on a craft project with us, etc.)
We also need to know what area you live in. (City/State/Country) (You can live anywhere, and every comment will be read!)
We hoping to round up as many responses as we can in the next 48 hours, so if you’re interested, and you have time to leave a comment, please do!
We’re working with some super-talented and creative folks and they’re very interested in seeing the response to this post, so please don’t be shy, and thank you so much! We’ll definitely keep you posted and we hope to hug you soon!
PS- We’d also like to invite you to join us on Facebook & Twitter!
(We’re seeking responses on those sites too! Thank You!)

I go to art school with a lot of really talented people. Which means two things- I know many of them would love to participate (myself included) and we are all poor starving artists who would love to have help with our apartments!
Best of luck! I hope to hear more about this soon.
PS: I’m located in central Ohio 🙂
Lisa
Yes to any and all!!!

SERIOUSLY? You can have you way with my entire house 🙂 Board and batten, blue ticking linens etc? Bring it on girlfriend!
Bellingham, WA (yup, Pacific NW Coastal town 🙂
Erin
My house is always open! I absolutely love your style! Old Lyme, CT USA
Stephanie
Ummm…yes!!! You can help me with ANY room of our house. The dining room is a total snore. The newly-finished basement is a blank canvas waiting to be turned into the ultimate family room. We’ve got lots of options for you!!! Minneapolis, MN
Wendy
Man you can come do my house anytime. Pick a room. The master bedroom is in desperate need, but I can probably handle that one my own eventually. However, I can not for the life of me figure out how to place furniture in the front room!
Cedar Hills, Utah

I’d love to see what you could do with our guestroom/office/hopefully-someday-also-a-workout-space…or honestly any space in or around our home! Or I’d love to lend a hand, too, and just soak up inspiration. We’re in Alexandira, VA (=DC metro-area).
PS: Pretty new to reading your blog, but loving it so far!

SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Do you have to ask? I would absolutely LOVE having you visit with your tool belts. I live in a house with a great floor plan that is blah blah blah builder boring. We’ve been doing things to spruce it up as we can, but I’m in such a rut! Especially with my ginormous open great room (family room, kitchen, dining), my tiny formal dining room that has been repurposed into a music room (all the kids play instruments), and my girls’ room–they have the coolest bed in the world built by their daddy, but the nastiest pepto bismol pink walls EV-AH! I welcome you to go wild in any of these spaces.
We live in a suburb of Indianapolis, IN, have three kids, a happy dog, and the coolest playscape on the block (also built by the bionic daddy). My husband and I are pretty competent DIY-ers, but we’ve been running out of steam and inspiration, lately. Come give us the jolt we need!
danielle
yes, please!! our bedroom needs you 🙂

(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.

Kourtney
I would love for you to come redo my guest bedroom or my nursery!! Houston, Texas!
Janna
Ummm, YES!!!! Would LOVE to have you redo a room, or 2, or 3 in my home. I absolutely adore your work. I don’t have any special talents, but would be happy to help on someone else’s home if you’re in the area. Pasco, Washington
Brooke
I would love to have y’all come to redo my house… but sadly it’s a rental 🙁 not much can be done. If you guys should end up in Dallas/ Ft. Worth area or Tyler/ Longview I would love to help in whatever way possible! I can paint, sew, craft, whatever! Most of all…? I can take directions!
Congrat’s! Can’t wait to see what you guys are up to!
Janine

patty siegmund
Oh dear. The Golden Girls called our family room and they want their 1980’s miami knock-down texture walls back.
Yes. It’s that bad. COME!!! Come do my 400+ sqft family room that is overwhelming me!!!!! It’s U.G.L.Y.
Love your blog.
Joy
It sounds like a lot of fun! I’m a seamstress and could lend a helping hand in that department. If you send me a short email thriftyparsonageliving(at)gmail(dot)com I’ll tell you where I live.
Lindsey
Ummm, yes!! I’d love to have you over. I have a home where there are 4 others just like it on the street. I’d love to be able to have my own individuality among all the sameness. The rooms that I’d focus on are a family room, kitchen, bathroom.
I love your style and would be seriously starstruck if you came to visit. We are in Bountiful, UT.
patty siegmund
BTW, that was a long distance call for The Golden Girls. We’re just south of Seattle in the good ole state of Washington!
Brooke
Woohoo! I’m on the Texas Gulf Coast, and would love to have some help on a redo in my own space, as well as helping you do other projects! I’m a decent seamstress, and a better carpenter, thanks to Ana White!
Becky
Count me in sister! We’ve got a very large bonus room above our garage that for the last 10 years has been my husband’s man cave. Man cave=empty. A couch and a TV. Would love to have your help making it into a functional, fun space! I’m crafty (I copied your dining room light) and my husband’s pretty handy w/ the power tools. Fishers, IN
andrea
Oh please pick me! Actually I have a challenge for you….we live in an apartment and are in desterpate need for a overhaul!
Andrea in glendale, Arizona. (phoenix area)
Virginia
My husband and I (along with our 2-year-old little girl, Lily:) just bought my great-grandmother’s house and, needless to say, we could use a lot of help! We’re located in West Virginia…I know you want to come here…it’s ALMOST HEAVEN ya know 🙂
Esther
I would LOVE to have you come do a room in my house. I’ve even been trying to figure out the camera so I could send you a “presto/change-o” situation. I live in Salem, Oregon in a 120 year old house. You come in the front door and it splits the front room in half – I cannot figure out how to arrange it! I love your work!! I would also love to help, but about all I can do is paint walls and sew a few straight lines.
Melissa B
Please come do mine. I’d love that. St. George, Utah, USA
Rebekah Renfrow
YES!
Orlando, FL
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!
Rebekah
Jennie
You guys have the greatest style ever, and we would love you to come help “cottage up” our suburban Chicago, IL house!!! We love the idea of feeling like we’re by water, even though we’re not. Our whole family would be happy to help out in any way!!! We have several different rooms waiting for help…..
Mary Craig Hart
Ooh! Yes, please! Moving in a few days to a new house that needs our personality! I’m in Johnson City, TN!
Shanna
Yes! The “where” is TBD because we are trying to sell our home … but we are in the Philadelphia suburbs. We’ll either be staying put (if we cannot sell) or moving to a bigger home that needs lots of TLC 🙂
sam
I would have quite a few rooms in my house that could use a makeover. I live in Minnesota.
Rachel
So yeah my husband started a project of redoing our fireplace and bookshelves…. and it’s been about 4 months and it’s not finished. So yeah maybe you could help us. AND help me figure out what I want to do with the rest of the living room while I’m at it! I’d love it!
We live in Silver Spring, MD.
Cassie
I would love to have you makeover a room in my house!! I’m in Dutton, MT
barb
Holy moley – the only thing better than seeing you guys on tv would be seeing you design my space!!!!!! I live right outside Philadelphia, PA.
Carol
I am in Waco, Texas and would LOVE to have you guys over. I have a 1936 cottage with a converted attic, which was turned into two bedrooms and a half bath. The issue is that it wasn’t done well at all, so we have to go back and re-do their re-do, if you know what I mean. Contact me anytime!

Oh, you could re-do my entire house… but I live in Norway 😉
Angie

Hi Layla! I love your blog! I am in Chelsea, AL (suburb of Birmingham). You are welcome to any room in my house…come on…like now! I am working hard to get rid of the 90’s/early 2000’s look of my house. Ready for a little more calm…Oh & I forgot to mention that my husband makes frames. You would love them…very beach/cottagey. They would look amazing in your Tybee houses. I told my husband last night after looking at your ezine that we needed to rent one of those cottages.. our website is http://www.connorclaireframes.com (named after our two girls). the website is not the greatest but it will give you an idea or you can find us on facebook:)
You two are so talented..any way…pick me!
Erikka
Yes please! We are in the process of redoing our living room. SO much work is going into this room and I would die to have any room in my house re-done. I live in a small town outside of Bradford, PA (home of the Zippo lighter). You are welcome to come and do what ever your creative heart wants to.
Lisa R.
AAHH!! Come my way!! You’d even be close enough to have a visit w/ family, Layla (I’m in ND)!
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.
Help! 🙂
Karilyn
I really need some help in our great room. I have no idea what to do. It really is the heart of our home and I would love it if it just looked more like us. We live close to Little Falls, Minnesota. Keep up the good work!
jessa
Yes please! We have an 1950s mid-century modern type home that we bought last year and haven’t done much to yet. Seriously it needs a loving touch.
Carol
Did I mention that we only have TWO closets in the entire house? …and don’t even get me started on our kitchen and dining area. PLEASE come see us!!! Texas is a really hospitable state, I’ll have you know.

My house is screaming for some TLC love! I live just outside of Chicago, IL. 🙂
Cambria Memmott
Wow! What an oppurtunity. I always dream of having a room redone in my house, but the problem is that I live in MEXICO (Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua to be exact- 3 hours south of El Paso, TX) so I never think of it as a possibility. I am from AZ, but we moved to Mexico 5 years ago to pursue my husbands dream of farming. I love to decorate, paint, craft, anything! I have a monstrous living room that is the most akward space in our house that I can’t figure out what to do with and a kitchen that is in bad need of some serious demo. You could have some serious sledgehammer fun here! Good luck with your new adventures! I love your blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Lucy
If I can be of any help….I love to sew and embroider ! Please come check out my work. Since you ask… I could use a yard, screen room or bedroom makeover. I live in Tampa, Florida….come on down!
Joni Ward
would love to help. I have 2 sewing machine and a serger. Love to paint and craft and did drapes years ago when we lived in Texas. Live in Orange County, CA. Brea is the little town.
But…..I would also love for you to redo my livingroom in the home. Tall cathedral ceilings and large window.
Lindsay
Yes, please! We need some serious help in a historic home in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
Katie
Option A – I love the projects you guys have tackled. I live in Nampa, ID.
Terrie M
Really, really you would come do a room or two or three for me!! What a dream come true!!!
I have my master bedroom, family room, living room, craft room, homeschool room and my basement to redo! So many rooms could use your magic touch!!!
I live in Ann Arbor, MI
