I really need help :(
"Hi my name is Quiyana and I'm 15. My room is in terrible shape. I have a broken twin bed that I can't sleep on because it hurts my back so I have to sleep on a messed up air mattress. My 2 dressers are messed up and broken from being in storage and my TV is incredibly old. My carpet isn't in the best state and my knobs fall off my closet doors. Plus i've had the same bed sheets from 2010. I really want to be a makeup artist and a hairstylist (I'm actually pretty good for my age) but when I invite my friends over to get their hair or makeup done, I'm too embarrassed to let my friends into my room. My parents always told me I was going to remodel my room, but they have bills to pay. It doesn't help that my room is bigger so I know there are many things I can do to it. My dream room would be a cosmetology based room. Please consider giving me the makeover, I'd appreciate it more than anything :)"

Stuck in my parents Home.
"Hello My husband and I got married 9 yrs ago and moved in with My daddy for 7yrs before he went to Assisted living. Over time we updated a few things to make it our place. We had the home to ourselves about a yr and a half when my brother moved in with us. Then we had to re-group have not been able to move forward with any plans. We 3 need our own space. My husband and I have had to pay the balance of Dad's care for awhile and still have to pay a few items so we are on a tight budget. Also, I have to make all the decisions and take care of the household and it is very draining mentally and physically. So any help on getting our home our own and not my parents would be appreciated. Sincerely, Sallie Rae in SC"

And it's only 500 square feet big, and I'm not sure what to do to update this tiny space on a budget. I could really use a pro for this blank slate!"

The clock brings me back to the 70's and would look great on the fireplace, the vase speaks for itself, the fine art paper print I love Love, I am great at painting and putting colors together, in interior design of the room, "furniture, etc" that I leave to you.

Beige Blah Walls
"We just resigned our lease for another two years (ends July 31, 2012). We've been in this same 1-bedroom apartment since July 2004 and we are just ready for, and needing, a change. When we moved in we never thought we'd stay long, and here we are, going to spend at least 8 years in the apartment. We have very high ceilings which are great, but it leaves so much beige blah wall space and I'm too intimidated to try to paint it on my own. Additionally, we have more or less a hodge podge of furniture acquired from over the years. I'd love for Jennifer Levy to come over and help us arrange the apartment so it feels more like a home, and less like a rental.

Why Do You Need a Room Design Makeover
"My mom is turning 94 and is living in the same house since she was married over 65 years ago. She spends her time watching tv in a chair in the living room or watching tv in her bedroom. She lives on just a monthly social security payment. Her original furniture is crumbling and she doesn't have the money to fix the plaster walls that have been damaged by water leaks in her bedroom. Her home was always her pride and joy and she taught us to treat our homes with respect and care as well. I would love to give her the chance to feel proud of her home again and to watch her tv in a warm comfortable setting"

I am an only child so I was the only one to handle everything and to lose my family so fast (dad died 6 months before them) I got rather depressed. I still haven't unpacked a thing, as I have no space and now I am in a cluttered mess where nothing matches at all. I need help! At least one room put back to a decent, nice to look at, want to show off, proud to live in space would be heaven to me. It is impossible to relax, watch tv, communicate or just sit in silence when it is such a mish mash mess. I will slowly get my home back to my own again, very slowly since I am also disabled but that's another story. Also it would be nice to have help to get started, and to have one room to look upon for ideas and references, and to give me that push to get the rest to be just as wonderful. Also the change would lift me up and help me to get better since I believe surroundings have a lot to do with how you feel along with food and exercise. "

"I have a small bedroom that I ahve tranformed into a study/den. I have book cases on one wall, a window on another, and a loveseat, desk, and floor lamp opposite the book cases. The book cases are DIY from IKEA, as is the desk -- I would really love to make this room into a retreat where I can relax, read, work on the computer, and even take a nap - but right now it feels boxy and austere, not very welcoming. It could really use a decorator's touch and some cohesiveness. It would be a plus if it could also double as a BR for when I have a guest (the air mattress just isn't cutting it!) PLEASE HELP!! "

Boring Boring Boring .. Help!
"My husband's office is where he spends most of his waking hours, and there is a daily parade of beloved and treasured patients parading in and out, all day, every day, even weekends! At the very least THEY/his Patients DESERVE a waiting room that shows how much they are treasured, and welcomed, and is soothing at the same time - after all, it is a dentist's office! It would be nice, too, to incorporate some of HIS personality into it too. It's not "just an office", it's not just a place of professional business, it's a One Man Business, and it NEEDS to reflect the caring and fun nature of this one (wonderful) man, too. Can You Help me to help my "style-terrified" spouse, to do something Wonderful for the 100's of patients who come in to see him? I'm afraid to begin, or do much without professional guidance ... THANK YOU! Bless you for listening, and if you are able to help me, to help him, to welcome ALL these deserving patients into welcoming atmosphere which is what they deserve, you would be helping SO MANY! Thank you!"

My landlady is 80 years old and she says I am the first person who has ever taken care of the home and I know it would be a blessing to her as well as a gift for me. I have done some work in the living and dining rooms but If that would work better I would love that as well. The kitchen, what can I say, you would have to see it to believe it. I know most make overs are done when the person owns the home but I would love for someone to give a gift to a renter. I will be here at least 5 more years and believe me, the inside of rentals in Jersey City don't even begin to touch the inside of a bad house in Dallas. I know there is no one that would appreciate it more than me. I look forward to hearing from you!! ??"

1973--need I say more?
"My home was built in 1973--a log cabin with log interior walls, a huge (it has its own zip code) fieldstone fireplace, cathedral ceiling, and a once cream colored now dirt colored carpet in the living room. My husband bought the place in 1993 and he and his brother lived there thus it became the testosterone hangout (explains the dirt colored carpet). No matter how much femininity I try to put into the living room, it gets chewed up and spit out. If I had to go upstairs more I would throw up--red, sculpted carpet, low slanted ceilings and one very tiny window.

"A blissful bedroom would be my wish for an interior make-over. Bedroom should be serene and peaceful and right now my bedroom is anything but serenity. I would like it to be a place my husband and I could go to retreat, refresh, and reunite our spirits."

Fab Room Makeover
"I am currently working from home, but my office is the guest bedroom which means that I have to work around the bed, dresser and other bedroom furniture. I would like to make this my office space and have it reflect my personality. This would be fab if I won it - just the consultation alone would be great."

So needed
"Hello, Last September my daughter was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. She is an artist and would give art lessons in her small home. Last winter, the snow caused the ceiling in her studio to collapse, causing damage to her rug, furniture etc. Her basement became flooded, and a tree branch come through the roof. It is difficult enough dealing with chemo, and being told by the doctors that she must avoid stress, but all this was all too much. The cancer has returned to her bowels, and although her friends and I have put her house together the best we can, it would be wonderful if she could win this package to spruce up her home. Thank you, Corinne"

Changes
"I recently retired from full time teaching. Unfortunately, this is not a happy occasion, since I retired due to health reasons. Perhaps a change in my home environment could make my home more inviting as my "new place to be." I went from being here occassionally to being here the majority of the time. I'm trying to find a way to distract myself from the void left by no longer doing what I LOVED to do!"

Ocean home!!
"43 surgeries, 3 auto immune diseases and for Xmas last year my dear husband was diagnosed with neck/head cancer. He is my Rock and always has done everything for me. We need a new family room make over so bad but can't afford it as he is on County Cancer treatments and can't work, we miss home, West Coast so badly, plus the Ocean blues, cream yellow and white would be so peaceful where we all gather to rest and talk. Thank you."

I'm in transition
"this is my last year of teaching and I'm retiring from THIS job and on to reinvent myself in another way. I'm excited for the change, but nervous also...what will I become when I grow up? So I have this wonderful living room with new wood flooring, but furniture that I purchased when my mind was in a different time. My kids say it's not that bad, but I just need some tweaking to make the room come together. Right now it's in transition, like me!"

dual-purpose room
"my husband and I moved into a new home three months ago and are at a loss -- well, let's say I'm more at a loss than he is ;-) -- about our "library" (a/k/a our guest room). It needs to be a place where we feel comfortable curling up with a good book and also serve as a crisp, no-nonsense space for the occasional guests. I definitely could use some professional advice on how to make this room do double-duty."

Let there be light!!!!
"My family and I have a walkout basement, that the walkout was not taken advantage of. There is one single door (does have glass) and a small window on the entire wall. I have tried to recreate a Charleston garden (Charleston,SC my favorite place in the world!) in our backyard and it is so charming. When we are in the basement, the lack of windows and doors can't take advantage of the wonderful view. I would love a professionals opinion!"

We are about to celebrate our 35 wedding anniversary and we will be renewing our marriage vows AND our life vows...to live each day with as much joy as we can...to dedicate ourselves to being the best that we can...and to smile often and long. That's the message I'd love for people to come away with as they enter our home and especially as they leave it. "
