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!)
We live near Kalamazoo, MI! I would love a redo of my whole house, but mainly my kitchen. Or my bathroom. Yeah, my bathroom. 🙂
P.S. My daughter and I both have 50’s ranch houses near a public golf course in Tampa, FL
How awesomely blessed it would be to have you come and HELP with this big ol house Jesus gave us to use for ministry!! Colorado is a beautiful place to visit too!
Ummm, yes please! You guys have the most amazing style I’d be honoured to have you work on a room or two or three or every room in my house. Even if you never make here to Canada (Ottawa, Ontario) I would most definitely watch your show. Oh, and I can paint a mean wall too!!
You can come help us redecorate/remodel anything! We want to do our master bathroom/kitchen….oh everything in our house.
Goshen, Indiana US (2 hours from Chicago)
OMG! I would love for you guys to come and redo a bunch of our rooms! We are closing on our first home tomorrow and we have so many ideas on what to do with the house, thanks to your blog. It’d be better if ya’ll just did it though 😉
We live in Johnson City, NY!
Abso-freaking-lutely for both. I’d love to help and be helped.
Location: near Manhattan, KS
I LOVE Layla & Kevin! Good luck in your latest endeavors!
How exciting! You can come to my house anytime – We live in Waycross Ga – and my living room needs some help…and my dining room, too!
Yes! Come on down to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida! We would have so much fun!
Man, Oh, Man! Do I have a house full of rooms for you to tackle!
I live in Raleigh, NC and would love to welcome you in our home.
I would die to have your help with a room re-do! That would be so much fun. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hoping I see you soon!
Help? We so need some help. The back side of our cottagey cottage is … well… desperate! We’ve got lots of fabulous trinkets and treasures we’ve inherited, but how to make them fit without… well… making ’em tacky? We could so use any help.
As for giving help? Me? Notsomuch, but the ol’ spouse? Yeah. He’s good and a quick learner. Precise should be his middle name!
Our town, Clemson, SC, is halfway between CLT and ATL.
I’m totally intrigued to see what is ahead for you two!
You could have absolute free reign with ALL of my home. If only you could come to Australia 🙁 It would be more than a dream come true. Can’t wait to see you weave your magic over some other lucky families homes x
I would love to have you re-do a couple of rooms in my house (OK, I’ll be honest–I have some rooms that need a “First time DO”!). I live in Columbus OH, and I would be willing to help out with others’ projects! I do some sewing, I love refinishing and painting furniture, and I can do some mean edging with my Purdy paintbrush when painting rooms!
Pick a room, any room… or two or three! Our home is in serious need of some help! We live in Bay City, MI and the only room I really like is my daughter’s nursery!
Signed, YES, please!
Sincerely,
Phoenix, AZ
Yes and Yes! We have a old funky Victorian in a small town in Maryland. We love your blog–actually just sent you some before/after photos of a window seat-turned-guest bed inspired by your reading room re-do. You can come to our house anytime. We have lots of projects…and we are more than willing to help out!
How fun! If y’all are around Indianapolis, IN, I’d love for you to stop by my house. My husband and I are DIY-ers and are slowly updating our first home.
HECK TO THE YES! Both A and B! I’m down with all that is crafty goodness!

This is simply just so exciting! My imagination is going hog-wild, picturing you 2 on tv, with all the inspiration you’ve got going!
A) you can come redo any/all part/parts of my house, inside & out! I’ll even give you directions to my parents house–they’ve been in the same 1890’s dairy farmer house since 1975 😉
B) working with the 2 of you sounds like a dream come true! I love painting so much that my kids sneak and call their daddy when I start going thru the paint chips 😉 I’d loooooove to help you work on someone else’s home!
C) I’m in Cincinnati, OH…the very utmost “northern” point of the great 127 yardsale! But I’d follow ya anywhere to help too 😉

Oh I wish we owned the place we are living in now. Well I guess you could still come out if you want to help us make a temporary two bedroom duplex feel stylish and homey. 🙂 We are in Central Washington’s wine country.
UM…SIGN ME UP!
Sarah- Kanata, Ontario (Ottawa area) Canada
Are you kidding? My door is always open to the two of you. Oh my goodness, it would be such fun to work with you. How soon can you get here? I live in Westminster (just north of Baltimore) MD.
oh, this would be a dream come true. i live in kaysville utah with my two kids, in a cute little 1400 sq ft bungalo/cottage. we need you… our house needs you!!
I would love your help! Seven kids + homeschooling = not enough time for reno. I’m in the Twin Cities.
I would love for you to help me in my kitchen…I actually love all the finishes in my kitchen but it is NOT functional. That would be a dream come true. I live in Keller, TX which is in between Dallas and Ft. Worth!
ABSOLUTELY YES!!! We’re moving into a new home (in Charlotte, NC) with very few furnishings just a week from today. Your casual style would be perfect for us…. pick any room…. or two…. they’re all up for grabs! We need your help!
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.
I also would love to help you guys out in any way possible. If you are ever in my area I would be more than willing to lend a helping hand!
um… dream come true!! My husband and I just bought our first place… a short sale in need of lots of love. I would be thrilled and overly grateful to have you do a redo in any (or many!!) room of our rooms! : )
Beverly, MA
Hello! I live in Richmond, TX (a suburb of Houston) and I’d love to have you come redo my living room! It’s a big open floor plan room…and between the too light walls, light tile floors, 10 foot ceilings…it’s TOO light! I need some help grounding the space and making it more cozy. I’m a quilter, stitcher, sewer, etc., and I’d love to help out if I can, too!
I’m in for both! I would love you to redo some rooms in our home (or the outdoor space! that would be fun…). Also, I am a painter – as in, I have a small business painting wooden signs and canvases. I’ve re-created many a pottery barn painting in my day 🙂 I live in Beach Lake, PA, USA! Good luck, I’d love to see you guys on TV – you’d be great!!
You can come to our home anytime! Nashville, TN
You can re-do the living room, kitchen/family room, and/or bedroom of our 1978 split entry (ugh ugh) house, but it’s in Minnetonka MN. Anyone who can come up with an inviting plan for that awful railing side of the living room is a genius to me. Kitchen was redone (badly and incompletely-bad bad planner) and really needs help and correcting.
You can rescue me anytime! xo
Who wouldn’t be down with y’all redoing a room?? Everything you post is gorgeous. You could have your choice of which room in my house to redo. The rub? It’s a rental. However, it has AMAZEBALLS character to work with. (12 foot ceilings. Dormer windows. Slanted ceilings in the attic.)
I’m in Columbus, Georgia, which is SO not far from Alabama. Disclaimer? If I met you, I may try desperately to be friends with you. Fair warning.
let me clarify… not LOTS of love. You won’t be working in bad conditions. Its actually in pretty good condition, just needs some help to help bring back its character and charm!
beverly, ma
Yes please!!! That would be BEYOND a dream!!
My kitchen looks like a 1987 wood cabin that needs to be put out of its misery. My husband and I are currently at a stand still as we can’t agree with the direction the kitchen should take. I am no artist, but my husband would be fabulous for murals and I’d love to help out with painting and crafts.
We’re located in Woodstock, Georgia (metro-Atlanta)
Kitchen, master bedroom and kid’s room (and maybe a bathroom, too!) in our 1950s ranch in the heart of Columbia, South Carolina.
Layla! Congratulations on this fabulous gig! I would love to assist you in making over our kitchen/breakfast area! I love your style and often check your blog for inspiration! Huntsville, AL
Um, yes please! We just got permission from the landlords to paint and redo parts of the kitchen. And guess what? In the letter I sent, I used before and afters pictures of your kitchen for persuasion. Because I have almost the same oak cabinets, cream laminate counters, and white appliances. Plus, the most horrendous vinyl floors you’ve ever seen! They climb the walls! No kidding.
I posted about it here, but haven’t started in yet…
