Calling All E-Friends

May 5, 2011 By Layla

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!)

      Oh sorry, in my excitement I forgot to mention I live in Michigan! As a state we need all the help we can get 😉

        Plus I’d be more than willing to let you use my house for a video demo if you need one!
        Very excited for you but I guess you can see that huh? 🙂

    How exciting! We live in Columbus Ohio, with our 2 kids and fluffy bichon pup. Our basement playroom and laundry could use some of your magic touch!

    If you were in the area, I’d also help with someone else’s place–no special skills, but I can sew and paint!

    Good luck with this venture!

    OH I would LOVE for you to come to Acworth, GA (just NW of Atlanta – NOT FAR FROM AL) to redo my daughter’s room (she’s 8) and my son’s room (he’s 6). Super high ceilings, big windows – LOTS of potential — I just don’t have a decorating bone in my body. FREE REIGN … and we have a shabby chic/rustic feel going on in our home. Hpw exciting for y’all!

  4. Summer

    May 5, 2011 at 7:42 pm

    Ummmmm..yes please!!!!!
    Every room in my place would love your touch. I would also love to help do anything…I LOVE to paint…seriously!

    Yes! I would *love* for you to redo my drab living room here in Houston, TX. I’m a major DIYer and have done lots of projects including painting, building shelves, tile work- all while raising five kids.

  9. Nana

    May 5, 2011 at 7:46 pm

    Absolutely love your style, and you can redo any room you want! I’ve been a seamstress for most of my life, and would love to contribute!

  10. Jenni Carver

    May 5, 2011 at 7:50 pm

    Uh – yes please! Come on over. Our master bedroom needs you. And our craft room, that too. 🙂 As for what I have to offer…well, I make a mean heart-flower! Or I could supply salsa to the crew??

  12. Lisa

    May 5, 2011 at 7:50 pm

    Working with you guys would be a dream come true! We are in the process of redoing our basement and adding a half bath down there.

  13. Cyle Lewis

    May 5, 2011 at 7:51 pm

    Why, yes of course. We live in Saint Simons Island, Ga. just over the causeway in Historic Brunswick. Home built 1949. The husband is a musician. He and Kevin would get along well. We are about 45 minutes from the cottage you remodeled on Tybee. It would be Fun Layla!

  14. Mrs Amber King

    May 5, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    MY BATH ROOM and laundry area….we are planning on redoing them this next late winter early spring. Worley/ID/USA!

  15. Cayla

    May 5, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    Well, I’d sure love to have you here in Indianapolis, but who really needs your help is my sister in Burlington,NC. Their ‘last’ baby turned out to be twins and THEN they had a ‘surprise’ and now have 5 kids in a too-small house. Problem is, almost EVERY house on their street is for sale so they need your help to make it stand out & sell! Pretty please?

  16. amy cornwell

    May 5, 2011 at 7:52 pm

    I’d love to participate. My house needs some Kevin & Layla love REALLY BAD! I’m on the North side of Indianapolis and would love to have you come into town!

  17. Kari

    May 5, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    Come redo my living room pretty please. Northern Virginia!

  18. Tamara

    May 5, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    Sure! I bought a 100 year old home 4 months of ago and am working like crazy so I can at least move into it. It will by no means be anywhere near done anytime soon! It does have some cool features and 4 fireplaces, but only one had a mantle, the others were hidden behind drywall. We will redo the outside too. Oh, we are in the north burbs of Atlana, GA.

  19. Angela

    May 5, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    So, I am going to add to the millions of posts you are going to get, and HOPE and PRAY you find mine unique! 😉

    I live in Fishers, IN, a subburb of Indianapolis. I am DIYer who basicially flies by the seat of her britches…I mean pants. I get an idea and I can’t sleep until I figure out a way to achieve it. (Like, when my husband went out of town and tore out the old, reach-in pantry and made a walk-in.)

    I would LOVE to work with you guys on my own space or help out with someon else’s. If you are interested at all, check out my blog to find out a little more about me. OH and I live close to Sarah, the Thrifty Decor chick!…My fingers are crossed and waiting to hear from you!!!!!

    May 5, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    Come on over!! House is mostly neutral. With some different ceiling angles. My hubby and I like to decorate and have done a lot of the painting and wallpapering in our other home. Would love to have you redo any room you would like. We also have a basement! Just moved in two years ago and hubby has been a full time student ever since.

      May 5, 2011 at 8:00 pm

      Sorry I forgot we live in Decatur, Indiana

  21. Allison @ House of Hepworths

    May 5, 2011 at 7:58 pm

    Layla, OMG heck ya I’d love for you to come redo a room of mine! You guys are all kinds of awesome. I hope your show works out because you’d rock the house. You are so fun IRL! I’m glad we were able to meet and hang out at Blissdom.

    If you came to my house to redo a room, you’d have to come to Austin Texas. Will that work for you? 😉

      for real. I’d have to add cable stations to our current line up if it were a station I didn’t have!

  22. Meredith

    May 5, 2011 at 7:58 pm

    A) Yes!!! Definitely! I’ve been working on decorating my new house but a lot of it has gone untouched so far. I’d love to get our guest room put together, right now it’s a junk room!

    • Meredith

      May 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm

      Woops, forgot to add that I’m in Baltimore, MD.

  23. Anne Sam

    May 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm

    Um you are more than welcome anytime to help redo a room or three in our home! I’m not uber creative, but I can paint a wall and I know how to sew (I can also follow directions pretty well:))! I’m in Glastonbury, CT (USA).

  24. Jessica

    May 5, 2011 at 7:59 pm

    Yes, please! I love your style and would be thrilled to have you incorporate some of it into my home. Bucks County, PA, just north of Philadelphia. (Lots of great history and old homes- you wouldn’t regret a trip here!)

  25. Becky

    May 5, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    Yes! I would love your help decorating, and I would love to help you work on someone else’s house! I live in Waldorf, MD, USA.

  26. Kimba

    May 5, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    GIRL! I could go either way on this. I’d love to open up my home to y’all. I’ve got undone rooms that would love a touch of Layla. OR I could wield a mean paintbrush and/or glue gun for you!

  27. Kate Petro

    May 5, 2011 at 8:00 pm

    Seriously??? O’my word would I be so honored to have you help me in my new house…we (the hubs and I) have been married for 7 years…have 3 kids, moved 5 times! and we just bought our first house!!! Super exciting, yet super overwhelming! I would also love to help you with other jobs if you were in this area. I can paint, and do some easy sewing projects.
    I live in Geneva, Illinois…which is about 60min west of Chicago.
    Good luck on this new adventure!!

    You can come to maine and do anything in my home that you want! Would love, love to have you! This is so exciting! I can’t wait to hear more about what you guys are doing!

  29. Rebecca

    May 5, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    You’d be very welcome at my house in Dallas, TX – as many rooms as you wanted to do! Also, my Mom would love to have you come help her redo her honey oak kitchen in her ranch house on my parents’ farm in Perryville, AR!

  30. Kimba

    May 5, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    GIRL! I could go either way on this. I’d love to open up my home to y’all. I’ve got undone rooms that would love a touch of Layla. OR I could wield a mean paintbrush and/or glue gun for you! We’re in the Pittsburgh (Southwestern PA) area.

    May 5, 2011 at 8:02 pm

    We could use lots of inspiration here in Louisville Ky about now! just found out we’re having our 3rd in November, which will mean moving the older 2 into a room together…ALSO our basement flooded/ leaked a lot during this recent bout of rain and after we get the leakage issue fixed (which sounds like it’s going to require a sump pump installation) we’re hoping to have one huge finished room (instead of the current 1/2 finished 1/2 not) to make look snappy on a budget.
    We also have friends with in 30 minutes of us that are expecting their 2nd at the end of the summer and will be moving into their new house soon- and HOLY COW that thing needs paint and help ALL OVER.
    I know you guys know how the thought of adding a little one makes that to do list grow and grow and seem so urgent!
    I’m an armature-ish seamstress that could possibly help on other projects if you’re in the area (as in like hemming something if it didn’t need to be perfect looking… ;p)

    May 5, 2011 at 8:03 pm

    Fun stuff! My hubby and I are getting ready to build a craftsman cottage on the family farm just west of Richmond, va. We’d love help giving our new home some old home character. The master bedroom, dinning room, and library could really use your touch! We love the idea of creating a wonder wall like yours or adding some kind of special woodwork. We love a mix on new, vintage, and handmade. We are big diy learners and I have a crafty streak so we’d be happy to help with any projects you can cook up!

    I am so excited to see how your 3-d adventure unfolds! What an awesome opportunity!

  33. Ginger

    May 5, 2011 at 8:03 pm

    Come on over. I would love to have you here. Near Chicago. I can’t wait to see what’s in the works.

  34. Whitney

    May 5, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    Um, how about I just leave the keys under the mat and you can do the whole house?!?!?! Yes, powers that be, I’d be TOTALLY interested in having TLC redo my room/house/doormat. Atlanta, GA would love us some Layla.

  35. Jennifer T.

    May 5, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    My name is Jennifer, my husband is Lucas, and this August, we are welcoming our baby girl Emily Elizabeth (yes, like the girl from Clifford the Big Red Dog) into the world. She’s our first baby and she NEEDS a perfect nursery! I’m a full-time children’s librarian, a part-time blog designer, a part-time worship leader, a part time grad-student and my husband works full time, goes to school full time, leads worship with me, and is just plain amazing…did I mention I’m supposed to be graduating two weeks before baby girl arrives? Needless to say, we are super busy and I haven’t had time to do anything with her nursery. I Love with a capital L the cottage style and am hoping to give our baby a perfect cottage/whimsical nursery that will also work for her as she gets older. We also need to convert our office into an office/guest room since baby girl is taking over. That said, we also have a blank canvas formal living room and an attached dining room that could use some sprucin’ up. Take your pick!

    We live in the Promised Land, smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth. We have two weenie dogs who think they are people and act as such. If you come visit us, you’ll eat some of the best Mexican food and BBQ in the history of the world, be charmed by Texas twang, and if you do a really good job, you might even get to swim in our pool. 🙂

    May 5, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    I would let you redo my entire house are you kidding! Las Vegas, NV come see do! Obviously it would be a blast to just come meet you and help where we can help!

  37. Misty

    May 5, 2011 at 8:04 pm

    Would sooo love a room redo by the two of you! I live in Owasso, OK.

  38. C.E.R.

    May 5, 2011 at 8:05 pm

    Would absolutely LOVE for you and Kevin to come to my neck of the woods for a hug and a redo. I’m in Grayslake, IL (http://www.prairiecrossing.com).

  39. Courtney Keller

    May 5, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    YES PLEASE!!! You could redo any room in my home. We just closed on our 1960’s home this week and every room is in need of updating. Our home has so much potential, but it needs a lots of style. It has beautiful hardwood floors and good structure. I LOVE your style (I stock your blog for ideas) and was going to email you a pick my presto (I still will) crossing my fingers that you pick my room, but you in person would be WAY BETTER! Any room, any time! I live in Lodi, CA (which may disqualify me, cause no one wants to come here…you might know the C. Clearwater song “stuck in Lodi”- ya thats us!). Thanks and good luck with your blog. It is inspiring!

  40. Cindy

    May 5, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    What a dream come true it would be to have y’all help out with my basement! It’s currently a very uninspired playroom/guestroom, but my kids are getting older (8 and 10) and we’d love the chance to style it up, while keeping the option of using it as a guestroom when needed (currently, we have 2 pull out chairs
    for beds in the space).

    We’re located in Atlanta, GA and I’d be more than happy to put in any kind of work y’all need! Congratulations to y’all on this opportunity!!

    May 5, 2011 at 8:07 pm

    i would love for you to redo my daughter’s house…they bought it 7 years ago and the equity and value has gone from $119,000 (price they bought it for) to being assessed at $35,000 last year because of the hit the economy and housing market has taken in michigan. they are essentially stuck in this house and can’t get a loan to fix it up….we would love to surprise her and her family with a redo of a couple of rooms….

    she (and i) are in mid michigan (flint area). we would be so grateful if she and her husband could be considered for this…

    thanks and big hugs, cindy

  42. Alisha

    May 5, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    Congrats! New adventures are so exciting!
    For the love of Peter Frampton, I soooo have a house that’s begging for your help! 😉 We just closed on a house that every room has great potential in. I would rather be shot than paint, but would love to help “pay it forward” in any other way.
    We’re in High Point, North Carolina (the HOME FURNISHINGS CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!!!) and I would love to show you my secret little “where furniture goes to die” place that I know you’ll love!

  43. Carol

    May 5, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    It looks like only about 1,234 people responded ahead of me. I would love to have you redo a room in my little cottage on the beach in Ventura, CA. It would be fun to work with you. In my stay at home mom days I sewed for a variety of professional designers. I make all my own slipcovers, pillows, window seat cushions, etc.

  44. Sarah

    May 5, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    I already commented on facebook but will comment here too. I vote option A. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE times a billion for you to come and do a truly low cost redo of one of my rooms. I know that design on a dime does rooms for $1000 but to people like me, that’s not a dime, that’s a thousand dollars lol. I’d LOVE to see a desgin show redo rooms truly on a dime. Like for $100 if possible.
    I live just north of Vancouver Washington.

  45. Amy S

    May 5, 2011 at 8:08 pm

    Totally! I would love your help with my master bedroom and bath. Come on up to the Midwest…Grand Rapids, MI!!

  46. cindy

    May 5, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    oh, and i could help someone with furniture redo. i take goodwill ugly furniture and make it amazing…..

    thanks and big hugs again, cindy

  47. priscilla

    May 5, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    yes! please come help me redo a room, or multiple rooms, or myself. nashville, tn, baby!

  48. Kristin

    May 5, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    I would love for you to come and redo my living room. I have 80’s cherry colored wood paneling and could really use some sprucing up!

  49. Jacquie Carman

    May 5, 2011 at 8:11 pm

    Heck to the YEAH! We’d (I’m speaking for myself and my husband) be interested in either option. We gutted/renovated our house and the master bedroom, main bath and front room could all use some love. We’re handy and love to help out as well. We live in the great Hoosier state – central Indiana in a teeny tiny town called Hope.

    You would be AWESOME as hosts!

  50. Poppy

    May 5, 2011 at 8:13 pm

    I have an adorable 1920’s cottage on my property that is in need of some old fashioned inspiration. I would love to have you here in Southern Pines, NC. My husband and I are capable of tackling some DIY!
    P.S. I love your blog!!!
