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!)
You guys can come and do however many rooms you want in my house!! I love your blog!
I have one for you. We live in Burkburnett, TX!!! My husband is a fireman and I am a legal assistant/fitness instructor. We have two boys and two dogs. We bought a foreclosed home that we have been trying to work on for three years. It has a pool in the back yard and lots of work to be done in almost every room. If I had to choose, I would choose either my living room or my kitchen. My kitchen is huge, with lovely 80’s white formica countertops and I am at a loss. Come to good ole Texas we would love to have ya’ll!!!!!!!!!
I own a 1950’s bungalow that we will be renovating from top to bottom. Please come see us in SoIL (southern Illinois). I wanna live in a Layla house;)
I agree I want to live in Layla’s house too. I love the kitchen.

Hi Layla! I am SO interested in design help! My husband and I are just about to close on our very first home, and it needs lots of TLC. 🙂 We live in Snellville, Georgia, just east of Atlanta. Cheers!
Ummmmm, YES PLEASE! I have a little man’s room, a foyer, and a living room that needs a ton of lovin! I am in Newark, DE and would LOVE to have your help!!! Also, I can sew and/or craft and would love to help you work on someone else’s space too. Heck, I’d just love to sit and talk to you for a while!
I’m in Grand Rapids, MI, USA and I have a house full of rooms that could use redoing. 😉
Congrats on your adventure – – sounds like it’s about to get even more exciting!
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!
OMG, is this for real?!?!? I would LOVE the opportunity to have you and Kevin over to help us with our home and I’d be willing to help you with someone else’s home! (I’m in Massachusetts)This is so exciting!
Sorry – forgot to mention I’m in Silver Spring, MD.
Fun! I’m in Silver Spring, too.
L&K, I’d love some help with my 80yo house. Our narrow living room is such a challenge! And we have so many windows that I’ve just lived with the hideous trim paint for far too long.
This would be AWESOME!
I most DEFINITELY have a room (who am I kidding? A HOUSE) that could use your creative touch! And if you were in our area, I could definitely lend a hand however you’d need.

I would love for you to redo my whole house!! I’m in Indianapolis, IN.
It’s a rental but we have been given pretty free reign. I rent a beautiful home in Hermosa Beach, CA and would love to have you both here for Option A. Good luck!
We are moving into a new home in Illinois next month and for the first time ever we are renting which poses certain challenges. I would be thrilled and honored to have you work on a room in our home!
Hey Kev & Layla! Count me in! I’d love to open up my home to your brilliant DIY talent! I also have a love for creativity & helping other people. (I’m a pretty good painter, seamstress, & idea girl.) I live in Utah. Hope to hear from you! {Have I used enough *exclamation” points!?!

My whole home could use you 2! Especially my living room (only one-no family room and small) and combo kitchen dining area! I hope you guys get this gig! HOW EXCITING!!

We’re in the process of buying a total fixer in the country just outside of the city limits of Gainesville, TX. Every room in it will need some sort of renovation. I would love some help and I love y’alls style. Good luck with your venture.
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.
i’d LOVE your help!! i live in toronto, ontario, canada and am a graphic designer and am willing to help if there were anyway you could use my skills. 🙂

I am also in jax – ponte vedra bch. Love seeing locals here! I’d love to redo some rooms here with your help! Come to our area!!

Hey there! from J’ville. I have a friend in B’ham who has a lake place near Jasper on Smith Lake. It would be right your alley! I have wanted to get my hands on it forever. Count me in for the sewing! I have a drapery workroom so its right up my alley!
I would love to have you redo some of our spaces and I would likewise love to help out with someone else’s if I could! (I sew! And can wield a paintbrush!) I live in Lehi, Utah.
Heck ya! That sounds awesome! We live in a tract home in suburbia. I’m in Arroyo Grande, CA. Between Monterey and Santa Barbara on the beautiful central coast. Did I mention we live close to wine country, too? 🙂
How exciting! We would LOVE to have you in our home to re-do a room or rooms. We have a lot of square footage with very little inspiration. We live in Atlanta, Georgia (Sandy Springs more specifically).

Oooh head on over to San Antonio, TX! I would love to help in any way that I can! I’d be happy to lend my sanding, painting, crafting skills or offer up a room in our new home for a redo! We just moved in a month ago so we are still in the first phase of organizing and decorating!
I could def use some help in my husband’s office/guest room (I think you can see the challenge right there) in Atlanta!
We’re wanna-be DIYers that need a kick in the butt to get us started here in Atlanta, GA and we’d love the help! We have a fairly new house that we’ve now noticed a lot of corners were cut on so most of our projects would be great DIY projects – adding some style to our cookie-cutter interior!
I love Option A and B!! 😀
Here’s a unique challenge for ya:
Seattle, WA
Airstream Studio

I would love for you guys to makeover a room(s) in my house! Houston, TX
how embarrasing! I am just outside Vancouver, B.C. Canada!!!
Oh wow! This would be fun. I have tried hard to accommodate our family in our tiny abode….3 kids under the age of 4 and very small quarters. Would love some creative help :)!! We live in Avon, CO.
Oh Wow! We’re moving into a home in late May that is very nice, but stuck in the early 90’s, but with some character underneath. Know what I mean??
I’d LOVE your help with some transformations!!! It would be tons of fun! I read your blog every day and was even planning to use it as a reference as we make our changes. I’m in Jacksonville, TX (east of Dallas) Love what y’all do~
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have you come do some decoration magic on my home! I live in South St Paul, MN!! 🙂
You KNOW you’ve been looking for a reason to travel to Canada! We live in a new, beautiful home that simply requires come character and finishing/lived in touches added. 🙂 With #3 arriving soon, hubby and I are short on time to get everything done ourselves. Funny, how I just e-mailed you this week and now you’ve posted this! Meant to be??? Hmmmmmm.
If you were to do any others while you were here, I’d be sure to lend a helping hand both with my own or someone else’s…alas, no special skills to share!!!
Congrats to you on this new adventure! Way to go!!!
Santa Barbara, Ca. Would love to have help with a room! Or help you guys with crafty projects.
Congratulations on this project!

You can come re-do some rooms in my house!!! I would love it!!!
St. Edward, Nebraska
I’ve replied on FB and twitter but wanted to here too…who wouldn’t want you to come and fix up a room? I would LOVE it! Count me in (northern Wisconsin). I knew you’d get a show eventually!
Girl, you know I’d love to help! 🙂 So thrilled for y’all!
{Have car. Will travel.}
xoxo
Oh my gosh! Layla and Myra – jackpot! I will dismantle my home just to have both of you come visit! I have a loft that I am overhauling into a craft room/Mom cave. Would love to have some creative help! I can sew and my husband is “handy!” Dayton, OH
ABSOLUTELY!!! We are moving into a new (to me) house that was a foreclosure…which means A LOT of work must be done. 🙂 It would be a dream for the two of you to come to my place here in College Station, TX (about 1 1/2 Northwest of Houston). I know you’d love to spend part of the hot summer in TEXAS, right?! And since it’s a college town I know I could round up a lot of our students to help. Please, Please pick us!!
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. 🙂
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!
