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 *please* come to my house in Tallahassee, FL. So many rooms need help.
Woo Hoo!!!!!!! Mendon, Massachusetts! Remember, New England is so beautiful in the fall!
Yes to both!!! I would love for you to help decorate my home…. and would love to help someone else as well.
I live in Hingham, MA. Good luck with the project sounds like a great idea!
A please! I’d love for you to come and re-do a room in my house! Westchester County, NY
Come up North to my house. Stamford, CT and you can visit NYC…only 40 mins away! I’ve been a long subscriber of your blog and I have yet to see something I didn’t like. It would be an honor to have your magic and talent in my house.
Such a fun Idea! Would love to have a room or two or three done by ya’ll! I’m just outside of Boston. I sew , paint, craft.

Layla & Kevin,
y 9-year daughter has a bedroom that needs help. We painted it lilac, but can’t seem to figure out what to do with it. Right now it is a hodgepodge of furniture and really needs help. Would you consider coming to Warner Robins, GA (15 miles south of Macon) for a room rescue?
Thank you, Krys
Would love to have you up to Seattle, WA to make our second bedroom/office an actual second bedroom/office! DIY was a condition of the house purchase – 2 rooms down, 4 to go, would love your help!
Oh please, oh please, oh please!! I SOOO need your wonderful touch!! Please come to Santa Clarita, CA (just outside of Los Angeles). Pretty, pretty please!
So excited!
I’m a mom of three girls in Visalia, CA. My house was built in 2009 and we moved in as soon as it was finished. I love the open floorplan and large windows that come with a newer home, but I hate that there are few to no architectural features or elements to the house–I’d love to have your help with fixing it! I have so many ideas but just as many design dilemmas in my house. For example, all the corners in my house (including window wells) are finished with a curved drywall edge instead of a 90 degree angle. While this is nice, I would love to frame out my windows with molding and add a nice wood sill, but I’m unsure how to do this with the curved edges. And while some finishes are nice–ceramic tile floors and counters in the bathrooms and granite in the kitchen, others, like our oak cabinets, massive bathroom mirrors, and all light fixtures are VERY builder grade. My house needs some personality and charm! Please help.
I’m all for option A! I love your chabby chic style and I’d be really interested to see what you could do for our rental house. I’m in Richmond, VA
Awesome! We don’t need help in our house (does that make us sound snobbish? We’re not we just like to do DIY together as a couple bonding thing :)) BUT, we are excellent painters, on any surface. We can also wax, stain, oil, and clean rather well too!! We’re not so handy with power tools though haha. We’re located in Lexington, KY so if you ever need help anywhere in Kentucky we’re here for you!
Ummm… hello… come to my house!!!! We are renters and will be for a LONG time because we are Military. We live in O’Fallon, IL (20 miles from St. Louis). And I can paint a mean wall and sew a few simple things (I am far from being a seamstress though).
I would love help with just about any room in my house. I especial have 2 bathrooms, a master bedroom, a frontroom, a great room, a full length back deck, and a covered patio that I would love to have some TLC with. I’m in Provo, UT (really close to Sundance and Park City.) I would be willing to help if the site was close to my home. (about 30 miles in any direction.) I’m a big do it yourselfer. Painted several walls, cabinets, and furniture. I can also sew.
Yes, please! I’d love your help redoing some of our spaces — indoor, or outdoor! We have a 3br, 2ba house. We live in southern California.
Layla! That is SO awesome! David and I would love for and Kevin to come help us work on our 100 year old home that we’ve been restoring low-dough-DIY-style. It would be a dream come true, since many of your projects have inspired us with our own home.
We’d also TOTALLY be up for project. I sew all of our curtains and pillows in the house, we’ve built a lot of our furniture (not to mention some awesome IKEA hacks), and we paint and refinish floors…you name it, we’re up for it!
We are in Macon, GA…not too far down the road from you guys. I met you in ATL at the Pioneer Woman’s booksigning (maybe you remember?)
Take a look at our house and projects, at http://www.melissadark.blogspot.com
My email is [email protected]
So excited for you guys!
Melissa
Umm…..where should I begin? I would pretty much die to have you guys come redo a room in my house. And I’m up for helping other redo’s too! I’m in the Nashville, TN area 🙂
Yes, yes a thousand times YES! I’d love for you to design a room in my home! C’mon up to the Great White North (I’m actually in south western Ontario) and see what we’re all about!!
Laurie
wow!!! Yes, come to my house! My house is just 5 years old and we are thinking of taking out the wall well, making an arched opening, between the kitchen and the dining room to make it one room….
We are ready for anything/everything!
COME OV’AH!!

First, so glad to hear you are working on a tv project. You guys are destined to be a tv success and I have always thought that. I am game for any type of project with the exception of sewing, not a strength of mine. Love painting furniture, crafts, decorating – the whole kit and caboodle. I am located just about an hour outside of NYC in Orange County, NY. Good luck with everything!
Wow! What an invitation! We rent, but it’s from my husband’s grandparents so we have a lot of creative freedom when it comes to the house and it would be awesome to have you here. It’s a cute house but still has so much un-realized potential. I’d also love to help you guys with someone else’s space… I am an “advanced beginner” sewer, an avid crafter, love to paint walls and have a working knowledge of power tools (as does my husband). We are definitely diy-ers and I would love to learn from you guys! Also, we live in a town just outside Peoria, IL.
Good luck with everything! Sounds like some very exciting stuff!
Of course I would LOVE for you to come on over & create some magic in my home ~ you know you’d love to come to Danvers, MA. It would be so much fun! xo
I’d love to help on other people’s places! I’m a budget decorator in Minneapolis, MN, and in addition to general design, can make draperies, paint murals, hang gallery walls, and make-over furniture.
Curious what you’re up to!
Heather
My house is decorated pretty nicely but there are a few room that still need major TLC!! The kitchen is pretty standard and the 1/2 bath need some lovin.
I’d love to come pitch in on a project, I enjoy remodeling, design, decorating, painting, furniture refurbishing…
I live in Orange County CA (southern CA)
I live in Utah and I would LOVE for you to work on my house! Good luck 🙂
ooh ooh, me! I’m in a suburb of Chicago, IL. And you could do any room at all. It’s that bad.
I’d love for you guys to come do a room (or two) in my house– or help you with one! I love knocking down walls and painting 🙂 I’m in Alaska, though so it’s a bit out of your way!
I can sew. I can tape like a maniac (as in around woodwork, etc.). I am available only on weekends, however, as I work full time. Also have a cozy little 970 s.f. place (read: mobile home) in Orange Beach, AL which you are welcome to re-do-do-do to your heart’s content! It’s in a small park of 8 mobile homes on the water side of the beach road – the only location in Baldwin County zoned for mobile homes on the beach side, I believe. Been there since the 50’s.
I’d love to help any way I can if you work weekends! I live in Birmingham.
Hey L & K,
We would love for you to come help us re-do some rooms in our house. We’ve already copied your old dining room wall….the one you took down. (We’re slow) and we’re currently trying to copy your kitchen. We live in Gilbert, AZ and have a cute house that has a lot of …potential. We have 4 kids and this is our first home!
Jared and Rebecca Shaver
P.S. You’re welcome to have a go at my house in Vestavia, as well!
Um, yes please!! You can do our bedroom, bathroom and basement and anything else you would like. We live in chicago..well actually a suburb of it called Geneva. Please come up here.
come to my house 🙂 The master bedroom is desperate for a face lift!
Gymea Bay – Sydney – New South Wales – AUSTRALIA!!!!
LOL!
I would love to have your help! My fiancee and I are getting ready to move from Michigan to the Bay Area in Cali and are going to need some help getting our home just the way we want it =)
New hope, PA, USA
Our bedroom is BAD…B-oring paint color, A-sheet set from before we got together, D-ecorated like a tween’s bedroom
We are getting married this summer and I’m ashamed at the state of where we will sleep as husband and wife!!
I would love to have Layla and Kevin come and work some magic in my home. I live in L.A. (lower Alabama) in Daphne. Daphne is a small city about 35 minutes north of Gulf Shores and about 20 minutes from Mobile. I LOVE your work and would LOVE for you to work your magic in my home. I can’t say I am a seamstress or an artist, but can definitely lend a hand, especially in the painting department. 🙂
Are you kidding? Yes, PLEASE! We have a 1920’s colonial in Rochester NY. We are in need of help with our kitchen (I’m scared, but I know the cabinets should be painted), and living room (really big, but with 2 sets of french doors, 2 large radiators, a fireplace and an entry way, we have no idea how to arrange the place)!!
Come on over!
Kev/Layla..

Want to visit Portland?! Come see me in Sandy, OR. I would love for you to help me make my dream home!
um heck yeah! on all three counts. You could redo my entire house if you want! Murfreesboro TN
You are welcome at our house anytime. Old farmhouse redone twenty five years ago in need of serious dyi. A husband who is great and speaking and preaching, but no dyi ability whatsoever. Would love for him to learn and I guarantee you’ll have doing it.
I would definitely be up for a little TLC! Both options sound like a lot of fun… I live in Newcastle, Ontario, Canada (East of Toronto)… so if you ever find yourselves way up here, you’re more than welcome at my home and I’d be happy to help out in any way that I can.

I’m not sure if you’ll have anyone turn down your offer! I’m in the tiny farming community of Greencreek, ID and I would love to have your help with my 1930’s farmhouse. It’s sure got some interesting (in a not so good way) features!
LOVE to have you come and redo a room or two. We have a 1950’s house in Fort Collins, CO!
Wow, this TV thing sounds sooooo cool, Layla and Kevin! You guys are going to get bombarded with comments no doubt! 🙂 I have a 10×40 screened in porch that I really don’t know what to do with in my log home. I’d like to make it feel cottagy out there but am completely lacking in inspiration. I also have a couple rooms that could use your magic touch. I live in Efland, NC–feel free to pop in anytime. 🙂 As for helping out, I can paint my heart out, have novice sewing skills, and am game to hammer, glue, and all that good stuff.
YES!!! A) I would love for you guys to help us out. Alas, I’m a student, so I’m gonna volunteer for my mom’s house (in honor of mother’s day). She loves interior design and is the hardest-working, best-gardening mom ever!
Knoxville, TN – mid-sized city, home to the state university..
B) If you’re ever over our way, we’ve got plenty of talent! My boyfriend and I build furniture (he knows practical handman skills), my mom sews/paints/everything DIY. there’s little we can’t do.
Ohmigosh! I would l would love to have help with decorating my home! I can also do a mean cut-in when painting walls, doors and furniture, so I’m willing to chip in and help! My family and I are in gorgeous Austin, Texas!
We would love for you both to come and visit us anytime in Kansas City, MO!
Layla,
I have often cringed at some of the “help” I’ve seen on popular design shows. You and Kevin are the ONLY design team I’d welcome into my home:) I live in Commerce, Texas, a small college town, in the northeast part of Texas and only an hour from the world famous Canton First Monday Trade Days. My home is about 110 years old and we always have a room, or three, in some state of remodel. My den is next on the list, and I’d love to put in a reading nook, a dressing room, a shower in my bathroom….it existing shower is where I store my luggage! I can send pictures, my husband is handy, and we have a circle of wonderful friends that would be good company!
Danna
Help me! Help me! 🙂 My fiance and I are sooo in limbo with his living room. The house is older but has gone through renovations with the previous owner. Right now…there is a dark brown leather couch & chair in there & that’s it. We really wanted it DYI a built-in bookshelf & entertainment center but we’re so lost on where to start. The living room is one of the first rooms you see when you walk in & it stinks that it’s sooo BLAH!

Um, yes. If you’re coming to the Tampa, Florida area, I can offer my sewing skills, and I have quite a few boring rooms aching for some help! I’m currently in the process of putting up a beadboard kitchen backsplash a la The Lettered Cottage.
