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!)

    I’d love to have you come re-do a room or a bunch of rooms in my house. I live in Lexington, KY.

  2. Callie

    May 5, 2011 at 8:55 pm

    Oh yeah! Our bathroom has been begging for a redo since we moved in last June. We’ve ALMOST started several times, but each time realized we don’t have a cohesive idea of how it should all look (and now are waiting for our 1st baby to arrive any day now instead.) We could definitely use your help here in Boston, MA!

    YES Please!!!! I live in Creston, OH about 10 Minutes from Wooster Oh and one hour from Cleveland, OH. I can totally help someone else too as I paint, sew and am generally crafty.

  4. Katie

    May 5, 2011 at 8:56 pm

    One of our bathroom’s needs a MAJOR update! Cleveland, OH – well a suburb less than 20 minutes from cleveland – please help:)

    ohmigosh, absolutely! i’d love for you to come redo a room or three! we’re in the ann arbor area in michigan.

  6. Jenn

    May 5, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    It would be amazing to have your help in my home! I would definitely be interested. I live in Fort Collins, CO.

  7. Cyndi Avery

    May 5, 2011 at 8:57 pm

    Room redo, by you, yes for sure! I live in Newton, Iowa. We are gutting a house, taking it back to studs and putting up drywall and I have NO design skills. No color matching ability…I would love to have you do bedrooms (3), bathroom (1), Living Room (1), Stupid room, really don’t get the point of this space and a kitchen.

    That would be WAY cool!

  8. leen

    May 5, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    Yay! How very exciting! Girl you know we are i. You can come here and help us out with our decorating dilemmas or we can help you out with as many wall decals as you need.
    You already know that we are in south eastern north carolina, just north of Wilmington.

  9. Allison

    May 5, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    I would totally give you my kitchen to re-do.

  10. Debbie W.

    May 5, 2011 at 9:00 pm

    I would love for you to come help me with my teeny tiny house. You can redo anything you’d like! I live in a 900 square foot guest house that is a challenge to decorate and find space for storage. When I built it (close to my parents so I could help take care of them), I didn’t really think I’d still be here 20 years later. It looks the same now that it did then. I have absolutely no talent when it comes to domestic anything. Help would be greatly appreciated! Location: Eads, Tennessee (close to Memphis). Thanks!

  11. Laurie A

    May 5, 2011 at 9:00 pm

    Wow! Way exciting! I would put any room in my house in your hands and I’d be more than willing to take direction. Care to visit New Paltz, NY (near Poughkeepsie)?

  12. Didi

    May 5, 2011 at 9:01 pm

    I’m looking to buy a house now, but when everything’s finalized, you’re welcome to come down to Florida and help me decorate! 🙂

  13. Lexie

    May 5, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    Yes, please! How exciting! You have free reign in any room of my house, b/c I would be more than please to have them look like every room in your house. I would also be more than willing to help with what you need-my husband is great diy-er, and I am crafty: sewing, painting, and even some graphics design are my faves although I’m willing to try almost anything. We live in the far northwest suburbs of Chicago.

  14. Laina

    May 5, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    That would be incredible!! i have a couple rooms you could pick from in Chattanooga TN!!

  15. Victoria

    May 5, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    Yes please oh please oh PULEEEEZZZZZE.

    My dining room, living room and bedroom. You guys could make it amazing no doubt. It’d be so fun. We’d play cool tunes and I’d make you yummy snacks. You could bring your pup too and our dog would be his friend.

    So, what I’m saying is…YOU’RE INVITED!!

    I live in Rochester, NY.

  16. Alicia

    May 5, 2011 at 9:05 pm

    I would love to have you re-do some rooms in my house! I have:

    – a tiny dining room that I would love to reinvent as a craft/sewing room;
    – a room for two girls (ages 11 and 9) that has no personality. I would love to make a great “tween” room for them
    – a hodge podge guest room desperately aspires to be so much more
    – anything else you’d like to help with is a-ok with me!

    We live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

    Thank you for this great opportunity! Alicia

    We just bought a house about a month ago. Every room needs work, but I have ideas for most of them. However, our family room opens to our kitchen, with a column right smack dab in the middle of the space the divides the two rooms and it is giving me a major headache trying to figure out furniture layout, etc. in the family room.

    we are in Suwanee, GA about 30 minutes from Atlanta, GA. Come if you want a major challenge 😉

  18. Emily J

    May 5, 2011 at 9:06 pm

    Yes!!! I would love to have a room redo by y’all or help out. I’m probably not good for much more than painting but it would be fun!! I’m in The Woodlands, TX, just a few minutes north of Houston.

  19. Hilary

    May 5, 2011 at 9:06 pm

    Layla and Kev…I would be so honored and thrilled to have you come to our home. I need some serious help in our bedroom. I’m just at a loss. We live in a small, two bedroom cape and I’ve never liked our bedroom. No matter what I attempt to do to it it never seems to meet my expectations. I LOVE everything you design! Your aesthetic, your color choices, the simplicity of your design….it’s everything that I love. Please come to beautiful New Hampshire and help me with my bedroom disaster! I would be so very grateful.

    yes and yes! sounds dreamy!!

    We moved into a brand new house last June and I’m still trying to get the house to “speak to me”. You can have at any room in my house that you’d like! I like just outside of St. Louis. Oh, and hi to your reader from Jeff City – think she was your first commenter! I’ll be in Jeff tomorrow. Thanks L&K!

  22. Audrey

    May 5, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    I can’t even imagine how much better you could make my house look…I am accessories challenged. Plus I have triplet 4 year old boys. So, the decor up to this point is what I like to call “Day Care Chic”. We are definitely ready to move on from that. We are in Austin, TX.

    We probably need the most help with the dining/entry, upstairs family/game room. But quite honestly the kitchen & living room could use some TLC as well 😉

  23. Jennifer

    May 5, 2011 at 9:09 pm

    Come to Austin Texas!!! I have a dining room (disguised as a living room) and a guest bedroom that needs SERIOUS help. Please come

  24. Lindsey @ Diffendwelling

    May 5, 2011 at 9:09 pm

    HOW EXCITING!!!!! I SO want to help!! or have rooms redone by AMAZING you. We live in the Dallas area (about 30 minutes north).

    May 5, 2011 at 9:09 pm

    oh…my MULLET!
    Yep, you read that correctly!
    We live in a darling English Tudor home built in 1927. We love the house…however…the previous owners put on an addition in the early 80s. Unfortunately they did the kitchen and master bath. Oie vay. NOT GOOD!
    We call this portion of the house THE MULLET! It just doesn’t belong! We’re talking forest green, cheesy oak, brass fixtures, cream, black grout, carpet IN the bathroom….the list goes on and on.
    This would make for some SERIOUSLY amazing before and afters….not to mention the endless humor it would provide for all involved!
    🙂
    Grand Rapids, Michigan!

    Oh how I would love design help! My husband and I are in the process of building right here in Prattville Al. If Everything goes as scheduled we will be in the house 1 jul. I would love to assist you in any project you all are working on. I can sew, paint, stain, use power tools. I love your design and I would love to incorporate your style in our new home. You wouldn’t have to go very far! Please pick us 🙂

    we’re in franklin, tennessee… about 20 mins from downtown nashville! i’d absolutely LOVE some help with our family room. we entertain a lot and i can’t seem to pull things together the way i’d like.

    come hang out layla and kevin… you’d have a blast at our house with my husband, our three boys and our sweet spaniel, millie.

    good luck!

    Ogden, Utah. You are welcomed ANYTIME!

  29. CJ @ STC.com

    May 5, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    How exciting! Layla, I think you & Kev would be perfect on TV! Your style is really needed more on design shows anyway!

    Of course, if you are ever interested in coming to the eastern shore of Maryland (Chestertown, to be exact) to a town with cute, historic charm and a home in desperate need of a way to open up the kitchen and living area, be our guest! Jason and I work at the True Value in town (which his family owns) so we are definitely trained and ready with power tools, rental equipment, paint, you name it.

  30. Courtnie

    May 5, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    My husband and I live in Montgomery, Alabama. We live in a historic neighborhood, Cloverdale. Our house was built in 1925 and we would love some of your expertise! Our bathrooms are in serious need of renovation and we don’t have bundles of $$ to spend to say the least–we’re expecting our third baby so it’s the last thing on our minds at the moment!

  31. Stacy

    May 5, 2011 at 9:11 pm

    I love your style and I think it would be awesome to work with you in my house!

    It isn’t a big house but you can pick any room, the whole house, outside, inside – whatever!

    Hope to see you on tv soon!

    Olive Branch, MS (outside of Memphis,TN)

    Oh happy day!

    Come to Knoxville, Tennessee!

  33. Julie Gregory

    I would love your design help! I live in Destin, Florida…and you guys can stay on my air mattress!

    Naples, FL…as many rooms as you would like! My house is in need of a serious makeover 🙂

    REALLY outdated kitchen
    Original 1960’s Terrazzo floors
    Bad paint job-well-I had to move in FAST…
    No style or substance!
    A house full of hand me down furniture

    OH how fun! I would love to have you guys put your touch on any room in my home….especially our home office, we are at a lost! We live in Conway, Arkansas!

  36. Christen

    May 5, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    I would LOVE option A if you are in the Dallas area. We live in Savannah, TX (or Southern Oklahoma as my friends and family call it) which is about 45 min north of Downtown Dallas. I am also always up for lending a hand because my creative brain is not always churning in my own home. So excited for what’s to come on your blog…you both inspire me with your talent!!

  38. Liza

    May 5, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    If you come to Boston, MA, we would love, love, love your help. We have a living room that needs some love and our nursery for our little guy . . . who is adopted and has an amazing adoption story. We would love to connect with you guys. We live on the North Shore of Boston, beautiful area of the world.

  39. Ashley

    May 5, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    Oh, Layla!!! You could redo my whole house! I have a 1980’s house in Birmingham that could use SO MUCH help! How much fun would that be?!? Take your pick from our master bedroom, our horrid bathrooms, downstairs den/playroom/office/guest room, our kitchen with dark cabinets and faux wood laminate countertops. The options are endless. BTW, after reading your blog about Southern Accents in Cullman, I drove up to Cullman one day last week (pre-tornado). INCREDIBLE stuff! They had so many pieces with fabulous character!

  40. Sarah

    May 5, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    Please come to my house and help me redo a room or two! I live in Stillwater, MN (a suburb of the twin cities) and would love help with my fun modern farmhouse.

    Sarah

    Wouldn’t that be awesome! Love to see you here–Cedar Rapids, IA.

    May 5, 2011 at 9:19 pm

    A & B, baby! Got a cookie-cutter house that I would love to transform from apartment-like environment to a real cozy home. Also a garage full of broken furniture that I’m dreaming of restoring and my hubby hating… Dallas, TX – Come and visit us please!

  44. Charity

    May 5, 2011 at 9:19 pm

    Come back to Savannah!! I have 2700 sq feet of builder boring.. I am trying my best to remove
    the boring but with my 3 small kids it’s painfully slow… I have a Huge flex room that needs to function as a work space for my husband who works from home, a craft/sew space for me plus a guest room space… Help us!!… And visit Tybee at the same Time!! :))). Love you guys!!

  45. Jennifer Clark

    May 5, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    Hi,
    I would love for you to come over to our house! We live in Sunny Southern California. To be exact Huntington Beach, CA. Our coastal/beach cottage would love some TLC!
    Thank you!

  46. Stephanie

    May 5, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    I would absolutely love to have you come to my house in Vancouver, Canada. But since that probably won’t happen, I really hope to watch what exciting plans you have for other people, so please please please make whatever you do available to us Canadians too!!! I’ve never posted to your blog before, but I adore your site and it is on my favourites so I can follow all your adventures and try to replicate some of your ideas! If you ever make your way over to Canada, my house could definitely use your magic touch.

    Good luck,
    Steph

  47. Shannon

    May 5, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    Could this be destiny? I just discovered your site yesterday and LOVED your passion and your vision. I checked back today and found this amazing opportunity. My family of 5 own a little cottage on the creek in S. Minneapolis. I have many unique found objects and so many wonderful intentions but have not been able to honor the spaces. I am a bit consumed with wanting to connect to the house , with wanting to flow and live from room to room without the constant feeling that “I have to figure out this room….” and your help would be unbelievable! In turn we would help you do anything that we can!!! Thanks for opportunity… Shannon, Tim, Cy, Hazel and Tigerlil’.

  48. Melissa

    May 5, 2011 at 9:22 pm

    I would LOVE your touch on any room in my home! I feel like you bring my heart to life so you could honestly have free reign anywhere in my house. If I had to pick though, I think I would really love a kitchen face lift. I live in the Orlando, FL area and would love the chance to work alongside you. I don’t have any amazing talents but feel confident enough to sew (except clothing and zippers but…curtains or envelope pillows I should be good with), paint or craft most things. I can be a Jill of all trades. Oh and I also have a hunky hubby who Kevin could hang out with …they could cause all kids of handyman mayhem together. I have a good number of family, friends and neighbors who would love to get in on this fun event if you needed a few houses in one area. I am very excited to see you all become successful doing something you love! Congratulations!

  49. Chrisitne Coates

    May 5, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    Ummm of course I would LOVE for you to makeover any room in my house, especially my master bedroom. I live in Spring Hill, TN (near Nashville)

  50. Michelle Yost

    May 5, 2011 at 9:23 pm

    Layla, I adore everything you do! Please come do a room in my house! Clovis, CA.
