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!)

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!!! Maybe YOU can find horizontal planks behind OUR drywall….we’ve yet to find it! 🙂

We just bought an outdated house in Ohio and I’ve started the mental decorating already. I was thinking to myself the other night that I sure wish you could come help me decide what to do and here is this post! Its a decorating miracle right? You can come do any room anytime.
emily @ the happy home
feel free to come by and help us with ANY room in the house! my name’s emily, and i live in los angeles!
Julie Lollar
I desperately need your help! My house is a mess! The master bath and closet is pitiful. We have a half finished paint job throughout the house. The floor is torn up in our formal dining room and the ceiling also needs repair in there! I could go on and on and on.
I’d also be interested in helping. We live in Frisco Texas. 😉

Cat
Interested in visiting Belize? (it’s in Central America). We live in a tiny 570sq-ft house we built ourselves on a beautiful farm. There is definately plenty of room for redos, though!
Trisha
We’re in!!! We are looking to add kitchen cabinets and countertops in a smart way to coordinate with the original 1980’s kitchen we’ve got… it’s updated a little, but it still needs plenty of help! We need to replace fluorescent box lighting, a ceiling fan, and organize a pantry/laundry room, too.
And friends? We’ve got plenty of them! A couple we know has recently renovated their kitchen and are looking to update a few other areas of the house now.
Pick us! We’re all about it!
Trisha
BTW, here’s how far we’ve gotten so far:

Jenny
I forgot to mention that our circa 1880’s house is located in central Illinois & that on EVERY renovation we’ve done we’ve found something really cool…like newspaper from the 50’s being used for insulation, a secret doorway & let’s not forget the logs which hold the roof over our kitchen…seriously cool stuff!

Hiya Kev, Layla
The fact that you asked question A made me snort (with a compressed giggle). As IF a reader of your blogbaby would say NO but thanks!
In response to question B) but of course I’d lend a hand. It’s all about pay it forward. My hubby is a handy musician as well (kinda put a pun in there) and when he’s away, I sink myself into design projects in our home.
We’re up in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.

Well if we’re being honest here than I’d rather option A 🙂 But it would be fun to help out with a remodel too!! And I’m sure we would learn a lot just being around you two so that we could take it and apply it to our own homes! I’m in the Lombard, IL. (Suburb of Chicago)
Mimi Beem
Wow!!! Our family would L-O-V-E for you to come to our house!!! We especially need help with our living room (currently it is our Play Station 3/piano/office room) and adjacent formal dining room–it has been “in the works” for almost 8 years. Our Master Bedroom could also use some help. I have been sewing since I was 12 (I’m almost 40) and I can paint up a storm. We have 3 kids (ages 9,11 and 13). We live in Lake Oswego, Oregon–about 10 miles south of Portland.

Kimmie Elks
Well, 2 1/2 years ago we moved into a bigger home when we decided to move my Husbands 84 year old Father in to live with us, (myself, husband and our 9 y/o daughter). 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! We live in Largo, FL. just 5 minutes from the Gulf beaches!
Thanks! Kimmie
Amy Kelley Bell
I would love to have a house redone. We had some damage to our roof in the recent tornadoes and water leaked into our walls. We’re probably going to have to have the sheetrock ripped out of our bathroom and part of our bedroom. It’s a nightmare! I’d love some help making the new space a pretty one.
I live in North Little Rock, Arkansas, in the adorable historic/arts district known as Argenta. My home was an old conductors house, built in 1913. It’s a constant work in progress, but I lurve it 🙂
I would also be willing to help with a redo on any other homes in the central Arkansas area. I paint, I sew… I’m a pretty crafty bitch!
Deneen
I am sure I can find a room for ya! Murfreesboro, Tennessee
I am an artist of different mediums and can hand paint and distress furniture.
Sarah
YES, YES, YES, we need your help. I have 5 boys ages 8 – 2 months so needless to say we are pretty busy with them. 2 are special needs and have lots of appointments. Our Master Bedroom needs re-doing and we could definitely use the help 🙂 We live in Ontario, Canada
stacy
it’s about time y’all got a tv gig! and the answer is yes! i would love to 1) have some help in our little cottage in columbia, sc and 2) if my help was requested in my area i’d be all over that, too!
can’t wait to see what’s next for you guys!
knmkendall
Really?? You bet I do! We have a big fixer upper house that we need lots of imagination for and help with–inside and out. We live just north of Santa Barbara, CA (Lompoc).
Tara
Hi there!
We’d love to host you but you’d best be ready to head north. Like, way. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. The city’s nickname is CowTown and we play host to one of the biggest rodeos in the world. I’m smack in the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, about 40 minutes away from Banff National Park, the oldest national park in Canada. I love your style – I’ve got two young boys, a couple of rescued mutts and a husband who loves things to look clean and tidy but who rarely gets his wish. Poor fella.
So if you feel like a road trip – and you do like a road trip – point your way west and north. I’ll meet you where the grass meets the sky!
