Decorating Consultation GIVEAWAY!!


UPDATE: This Giveaway has ended! Thank you!!

I think that many of you reading this are already familiar with the ridiculously talented Layla, of The Lettered Cottage. If you don’t know Layla’s work, head over to her blog and check out her talents in interior design. And look for her on the next season of HGTV’s Design Star-because even if casting hasn’t been finalized yet, she has made it far in the audition process already and I know in my heart that she will be there. Layla offers Design Consultation Services through her blog. You send her a photo or photos of the room you want help with and, depending on the design consultation you chose, she will either send you detailed written feedback on how to design your room or photos of your room re-designed, or a 3D image of your room redesigned. It’s pure magic, friends!

I normally dive head-first into decorating projects on my own, but when we moved into the new house, I had absolute designer’s block when it came to our living room. I think I was scared to start because I was scared I would make mistakes, waste money, and end up in a room that wasn’t worthy of the time and effort it took to build the new house. Talk about unnecessary pressure to put on myself-no wonder my creativity was stifled. 🙁 I turned to Layla for help and she jump-started my creativity for me!! 🙂 To give you an idea of her design services, I had her do a photo consultation for me and below are two of three different room views she designed for my living room. (Please don’t judge the befores!)

I am giving away a FREE written design consultation with Layla! Everyone deserves a beautiful space and Layla will not disappoint. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment to this post before Monday night, February 9th, and I will use a random number generator to select a winner to be announced on Tuesday!

Blessings, Friends!

Erin

  3. Hi Erin! Thanks for letting me know about the zebra rug. I’m going to snag your “button” code and post it next week on my sidebar if that is okay!? I do a kind of weekly roving button/link posting to new and cool blogs that I discover.
    I like all of the additional blog photos on your sidebar. This is a nicely designed site! 😉 Have a great weekend!

  4. Layla sent me over to your blog from her post. I’m a big fan of hers. My birthday is Sunday, maybe it will bring more karma for the random generator to pick me. We are thinking about doing an addition and I’m afraid of making mistakes too. I’m not sure if she wants to take on an imaginary space. (Your blog is beautiful BTW.)

  9. I could desperately use help. I have a vintage condo in Chicago and just came seem to find the right style to do the space justice.

  10. How blessed you are to have Layla help you out!! I follow her blog and I actually sent her an e-mail one day asking about some fabric. She emailed me back and I was so tickled!! She may as well be famous in my book and she emailed me back!!! It is funny how blog land works. I follow a person’s blog and I feel like I know them personally when in reality I have never actually met them. So I guess what I am saying to the random picker thingy…..pick me pick me!!!

  13. Layla has such a fantastic talent and is so generous to share it with all of us. Thanks to her blog, I found your blog and can’t wait to snoop around. The Guest Bedroom walls are amazing!

  18. Oh how I have thought a million times about a consult from Layla!! I love her blog and I love yours as well! We (hubby, jay 10, alana 8, baby schuyler 20 months, and baby aiden 6 months, and a new pug, myself) moved into a fixer upper about a year ago! We have been “camping” out downstairs for months,while trying to gut upstairs for the bedrooms! Needless to say the novelty has worn off. Oh, to have ideas for at least one space to be completed!! Oh to go to bed before midnight clean from dirt and grime!!
    Someday!!!

  44. Ooh what a great giveaway – I’ve been reading her blog for a while and really hope she makes it onto Design Star! My fingers are crossed for her! And I’m excited to discover your blog today too – I love the photos of your “new old” house. So lovely.

  51. My husband and I just purchased our first home – a forclosure – and have been fixing it up for the past two weeks. I have a knack for decorating and love how our place is coming together… except for one awkward room. Technically, it is the 4th bedroom, but at 8×14, with weird, sloping walls, I’m stumped. I’ve been thinking about purchasing one of Layla’s consultations, so this is a perfect contest for me! Thanks!

  54. I love the before and afters that Layla did for you!!! It is always amazing what she can do with only a few pics and measurements!!

    I love the bedding in your master – I don’t think I have ever noticed it before today!!

    Best of luck to everyone entering – if you win you will learn it is such a treat to work with Layla! 🙂

  55. I absolutely adore Layla…been following her for months now. I love everything she does and even remarked about her in my first ever blog that I began last week. She has inspired me everytime I logged on to her Lettered cottage. I am beginning a redo of our 1970’s living room complete with popcorn glittered ceilings and gold linolium floors…please choose me!!! 🙂

  75. I just stumbled onto your blog from a comment you left on Stephanie’s “Living in a Boy’s World.” Love your blog and will have to add it to my favorites! We just moved into an older home and I’m at a total loss as to how to decorate our den/family room!! Thanks for offering such an awesome giveaway!! 🙂

  78. Oh my goodness! I would LOVE to win a design consulation with Layla! Seriously love it!

    I’m in much the same situation with my family room. We built our house a little over 6 months ago and the family room was designed around a specific piece of furniture that we cannot afford to purchase right now. I feel completely blocked and stifled about how to arrange what we already have.

    I love your blog too!

  85. Oh wow, I NEED this! I wanted to sign up to have Layla make-over my entire house (a bungalow built in 1920 – a real live cottage!) but now we are stuck doing some boring stuff…like a new roof for the garage and repairs to the home roof. = (

  92. We built a new home 3 years ago, and it is still not completely decorated. We are working with a very small budget, and I’m also afraid of not getting it decorated right the first time. I love Layla’s blog and would be super excited to win her consultation!

  93. sign me up! I would love a fresh eye to just re-do my stale living/dining areas! I have been following Layla’s blog for quite a while and love her fresh slant on her home- it amazes me how she always has an idea! Truth to the saying “youth is wasted on the young!”. Thanks for making her consultation available! Pick me!

  106. I have the weirdest fake Frank Lloyd Wright Living Room ever,–with brick & a glass cupola and wood walls. The room shape is weird, but man o man it is soooo cool. If I only knew what to do with the furniture. I believe you would be doing a public service helping this poor room out of the 1960’s. I hereby enter and remain your hopeful winning entry. Yours if you’ll have me, Jane

  107. I love Layla’s blog too! I sneak a peek every chance I get for ideas.

    My little place in the woods could sure use some professional help. It isn’t ‘night’ yet, I hope I’m not too late to enter.

    By the way, I like the bottom living room. I just love the green walls, they are so calming.

  116. Help save my marriage! We have an empty living room–okay, not exactly empty–there’s my great-grandmother’s piano, an eliptical exerciser and an antique side table with the Nativity scene still on it from Christmas! See how much I need Layla’s help?! Have a terrific day and good luck to everyone!

  117. Oh Erin…I think this is meant to be! I just got off the phone with my very favorite 4-year old niece ~ her name is Erin as well! I went on for my daily dose of “Layla” as I have been calling it these days…and I find her announcement about your give-away. I have followed her for a while, and am in LOVE with everything the talented Miss Layla does! I could only be so lucky as to have her help with one of my rooms. And then to see the photos of your house…just to die for! I know in my heart I am going to win, just as you know Layla is going to be on Design Star! hahahaha…Thanks for the inspiration!

I love Layla and I know she could help me with my oh so boring kitchen/dining/family room (yes, they are all in one open space!)
