Greetings!
We have some exciting news to share today! Â 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) Â (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 house could definitely use some Lettered Cottage love! We are currently getting started on several projects, all geared towards moving our 1992-built home out of the 90s…ha!
I live in the Augusta, Georgia, area and I cook/write about food for a living, so I could feed you well!
Can’t wait to see more about your project!
Susan
Please come and re-do a room or two or three in my ranch style home built in 1958 in Houston, Texas. My den has a terrible layout and we could use some fresh ideas.
Colleen
Colleen Waldheim, SK Canada. A Canadian location would mean a big road trip for the two of you to visit.

I can’t believe how many Canadian’s there are on the list. I live in Prince Rupert, BC (Canada). I would love to have you and Kevin come up to help us. We have a great house that could use your skills. We also built a “shed” next door that has a completely unfinished 1000 sqft loft that has endless potential – gabled windows, ocean view, vaulted ceiling and completely open – no walls. Living in northern BC we could offer pacific ocean fishing – crab feasts. We are hardworking – have lots of tools, just need your inspiration. Please, please, please!!!!
Jen

Bethany
YES! YES! YES!!! Please come to my house in Des Moines, Iowa!!! My house needs some TLC!

I would love your help with some rooms in my house! I live in a subdivision where every house seems to look like the other LOL AND I actually live in Prattville, AL We are active duty military and have been here for three plus years and don’t seem to be leaving any time soon. I would love help making the space uniquely ours!
Audra
YES, PLEASE come and help turn my cookie-cutter house into MY HOME! My style is A LOVE FOR ALL THINGS WHITE mixed with ANYTHING FRENCH and REPURPOSED OLD WOOD EVERYWHERE with a sprinkle of TARGET CLEARANCE topped off with A LITTLE BLING!!
Let me know when I need to pick you up from the airport 🙂 PASCO, WA
Raquel
Oh please! No shy! Come to Oklahoma, visit this Peruvian girl, do some magic and turn my brand-new house into a country-beachy cottage… Too much for a challenge???
Carolyn
I would love a good room redo! I live in Pensacola, FL so I am not too far from you!
Jen Jones
Oh and I would love to help others. I can sew, paint, and used many a power tool in my time (including building my daughter’s bed from scratch!).
Mindy
YES, YES, YES!! Come and redo a room or two or three at my parents’ house. I don’t live there, but they are in the middle of remodeling their kitchen and are stuck with quite a few decisions. They would love to work on other rooms and desperately NEED HELP!! 🙂 They have so many cool antique pieces but need to figure out how to use them while giving their little home an update! They live in Southern California.
Alison
Come on down to fort worth TX!! My house needs your help!! I love projects and would be thrilled to have your wonderfully talented minds take over! Our master bedroom with the old lady-hand-me-down furniture needs your help 🙂 thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea/opportunity!!
Beth
Yes. PLEASE. Oh my goodness. I need you guys. I Soooo need you. Your design ideas are exactly what I want to do in my house. Am I the only one in Peoria, IL??? We have 2 brick walls in our house and lots and lots of rustic outdoor siding but it is INSIDE. I am longing to paint it all and make it look cottagey (is that even word?) I would love for you to come!
Kim
I’m near St. Louis, MO but could go to Jefferson City to help with your first commenter should you all go there. 😉
I’d love to help out in some way if you come up this way…I LOVE to decorate and I LOVE to paint…although I’m SLOW because my hands hurt me but I STILL love it!!!
Linda
Love your blog, look at it daily. Need some help with a 30+year old bathroom reno. Live in beautiful Surf City Ca.
( Huntington Beach)
Lee Anne Porter
Oh my goodness! I would love you to come over to my place! We live in a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house in Charleston, SC! However our house is a cookie cutter house in a cookie cutter neighborhood…lacking all of that charm of all the historic Charleston homes downtown. I’d like help adding some “oldness” to my house…ya know, making it feel less cookie-cutterish and more unique and cottage like…maybe some beadboard, decorative molding, etc. I’d be up for anything! I also have a persnickety 1/2 bath that is awkward. The placement of the toilet/mirror is weird. I’m just not sure how to work with it. Please come! I can sew, paint, refinish furniture, sand furniture, and am up for just about anything!
MommaHen
I’ll take option C : BOTH!! I am moving into an EXTREME fixer-up and need as much help as possible. I also dream of helping others create beautiful spaces!
I can’t wait to see what’s up your sleeve!
Oh and I live in Lewis Co. Kentucky (aka middle of no where)
Ace
I’d love to do either! I live in San Francisco, CA, near the beach in a 1939 “Sunset-style” house – most of the house is upstairs and you enter through a tunnel.
Dani M.
My husband is an active duty military man in the Navy. Because we move every three years, we are having a hard time nailing down a “look” that can move with us. We would love the opportunity to have you both help us to make our rental home feel like a true home. We have just moved to Chula Vista, CA. 🙂
Pamelotta
Have I got a show for you! I live in Clyde, Texas in a 6 year old home that my husband and I built to look like a farm house that’s been here a little longer than that 😉 I’ve emailed a picture of my living room hoping to be chosen for a ‘pick my presto’ because I don’t like the way I decorated my house when we first moved in and I’m ready for a change. 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.
I just posted pics of it on my blog if you need a visual! 😉
Jenny B.
I don’t think any of your readers would turn down this opportunity! You guys are AMAZING!!! I’ve never seen a room of yours that I didn’t like. I would love to have you come re-do a room in my house. I’m getting ready to transform a nursery into a playroom and a playroom/office/supposed-to-be-a-formal-dining-room into an office/homeschool room. My kitchen, master bedroom and bath could all use some love too. I live in Northwest Arkansas. Y’all come! 🙂
Lauren
Yes!!! I’d love you guys to help us redo a room or two or three 🙂 I love looking at your blog for inspiration but I have a hard time actually making my vision come to life in our own home! We live in South Orange County, California. So excited for you guys.
Kim @ Life Analytical
I love both options! I’m in Pittsburgh.
Bethany
I’d love to help! I dont have any super helpful skills but I love to paint, craft and build!
Bethany in Southeast, Louisiana
Elizabeth@themustardceiling
This is a fabulous idea! I would love to watch your show. You can come to Clovis, NM to redo a room or I would love to help.
Sheri
Oh, Layla, all of these options are a dream! I live in Pensacola, Florida, in a home we just moved into a few months ago. It’s an older brick colonial, and since all the old aluminum wiring had to be replaced, I have about 40 patched holes in my living room that are crying out for some vision! If you end up in this area, I’d love to chat about ways I might could help out!
Becky M.
I have a little interior decorating business in Central Illinois, I’d love to help work on a space with you both. It sounds like a lot of fun!

Joanie

sara @ it's good to be queen
um… YES PLEASE!!! i would love to have a room redone. we just moved into an olderish (built in 1980) house that has some quirky rooms. we have a long skinny room that is a bear to figure out what the heck to do with. pretty much every room in the house needs a makeover. think, 80’s wood trim awesomeness. we’re haivng a baby in august and need to create a nursery in a room with no closet…eeeks! tons of potential here. 🙂

You can come over anytime you want and help me! My husband and I are in the process of remolding a 1989 home that we bought last year and my pregnant belly is not letting me do much these days:) We’re just a few hours away in Woodstock/GA!!
Heather
I would Love Love Love to have Kevin and Layla over to makeover a room and I would also Love to help makeover someone else’s room too. I can help with anything.

Amanda
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!! 🙂
amy jupin
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!
Anjali
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. 🙂
Laura
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.
MotherShip
Are you kidding? OF COURSE any of us would participate in something like that. We keep coming here because we like YOU and we like what YOU DO. Can’t wait to find out the solution to this mystery!
