  3. My den needs the most help! So many things going on in that room: small windows, sub-level = COLD, and it houses the washer/dryer and has our misc. office items. It definitely has an identity crisis. Thanks for the giveaway!! Happy T-giving!!

  10. My living room, for sure! I have a series of pieces that I love; some Goodwill makeovers, a looooong couch and a wonderful “boyfriend chair” that we love. I even made drapes on my new sewing machine that came out beautifully! I just can’t seem to pull it all together. It’s missing…something…or a series of somethings. I hate having my living room look half done.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Kate!

  17. We have a formal living room that we use only for my kids piano practice. I would love to make it a beautiful place to hang out, practice piano or even watch tv.

    Thanks for the great opportunity!!

  60. Can’t wait to check them out. I would ask for help with our playroom. Right now it’s just a hodgepodge of leftover furniture that won’t fit anywhere else. I’d like it to reflect more if our children’s personalities. Happy Thanksgiving!

  61. I am in dire need of a room update. My living room is my playroom and the first room you see when you walk in the door. While it’s VERY funtional, my children are now 10 and 5 and I don’t know how to update it to reflect their ages and get out of the “little kid playroom mode” and have it still functional as a playroom but be quite a bit more sophisticated. This would be a huge blessing to receive some help. Right now…I just stare at it…a lot! Happy Thanksgiving!

  62. My basement needs the whole nine yards. It is a wasteland for the unwanted items of the past…some help and motivation would be great!

  63. My master bedroom needs help. We moved a year ago and that is the room I am struggling with the most.

  65. PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!! We are almost done building our house, and we have a two story great room that has one wall with a fireplace flanked by two story windows, one wall that mys husband insists that we hang a giant flat screen tv on, one wall that is nothing but windows, and the other “wall” is the walkway between the staircase and the open room. I NEED HELP!!! Thanks for a great giveaway.

  66. We added a closed three season porch onto the back of the house which is sitting empty waiting for inspiration:)

  67. Great giveaway! I think I’d go with my living room. Or family room. Hope I have the chance to figure it out! Thanks for the opportunity! Happy Thanksgiving.

  68. My guest room is definitely in need of the most help. I have worked on the other rooms in my house and left it for last. Thanks for the chance to enter!

  69. The living room! It’s completely mismatched and reminds me of my husband’s ex-wife. :)

  70. No way! I love love love Kelly + Olive! Plans for our addition/remodel have been submitted to the city. I need help with everything but i need the most help in the great room. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  71. I love Kelly and Olive!! We are in need of some style in our living room, which is now a play room/music room/computer room/art room! Yikes, help!!

  72. Wow! What a great giveaway! We are trying to sell our house but already have another one picked out. I think I’d choose the living/family room because that’s the first room you see when you enter the house. Thanks!!

  73. We are just finishing a whole house remodel and need help! My husband and I are clueless! Please help us with our new Great Room — we don’t want to make any mistakes! Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving!

  74. Recently updated the upstairs attic space into a master bedroom – it’s painted and carpeted but is still a blank slate. Have a couple Restoration-ish antique pieces in very dark wood, but otherwise bare. Would LOVE some guidance! Really wanting to finally use some ikats or suzani fabrics :)

  75. Wow what an amazing giveaway – my master bedroom is in need of some serious help. I have spent some time working on all the other rooms in my home, but I have not found anything to inspire my master bedroom re-do.

  76. Ohhhhh! I would LOVE some help in my family room. It is an “odd” layout and could REALLY use some help!

  77. Our family room needs a redo. We have tall ceilings in a small room and have put anything on walls since we don’t know what to do. Our tv wall consists of 4 unlawfully cabinets to dimly hold stuff and hold up tv.

  78. For sure my family room. It’s right off the kitchen and dining room and a very open floor plan and I don’t like what I see. Thanks for this chance to enter. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  79. I also left a comment on Facebook. Oh, please pick me, oh please, oh please, oh please….I’d be so very thankful. ;)

  80. I have a cavern of a basement family room that could use an inspiring facelift. Thanks!

  81. We are moving into a new house next month and I’m struggling with what to do with the formal living room. I’d like it to be a cozy place to hang out and for my boys to play but I don’t want it to look like the kids have taken over. I’m thinking lots of hidden storage and soft surfaces. I would love some help with this space!

  82. I love them and I love this giveaway! The room that needs the most help isn’t mine – but the living room of my best friend. She’s a new psychologist (33 years old and out of school for the first time!). She just moved to a new town and wants to make her first real apartment a home, but needs all the help she can get.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  83. My family room is looking weary. I’m not sure how to give it a fresh look as it is tied to so many room in the house. Happy Turkey Day!

  84. the room that I need the most help with is my basement family room. It’s long and narrow and of course the giant flat screen is there. Currently it has wall papered panelling board and baton a mess of niches and a really bad built in left by the former owners.
    Thanks for such a cool giveaway,

  85. Definitely my living room! It’s long and narrow and I’ve struggled with furniture placement since we moved in this house in 2000. My family spends a ton of time in there and I would love it to reflect our fun loving family better!

  86. My bedroom would love a little lovin’. Since it’s the room in the house that never gets viewed by others, it has been sadly neglected because I don’t know where to start!

  87. Well, to be honest, every room in my home needs help, but the one that needs it the most would be my living area. It’s a big space in a smaller home, and I definitely do not have the design mind to make it look like it should. I have been living in this space for almost 2 years, and I have yet to invite any acquaintances over because I don’t like the look and feel of my space. It just doesn’t feel very inviting to me, so I could really use a room board to help me figure this out.

  88. We are moving and I am at a loss as to how to arrange our. Ew great room. This would befabulous.

  89. Our den is L-shaped and the L-portion is sunken 17 inches. We need help with this room because of it’s odd shape and different levels!

  90. My greatroom needs the most help. I have a babygrand piano that takes up space – I can’t seem to find the balance. Thank you!

  91. My Dining Room desperately needs the most help. It sits in the middle of the house and therefore has no window. I need a space that’s modern with a mix of traditional. Looking forward to winning!!!!!

  92. Oh, the living room. Most definitely! I consider myself to be a creative person, and I haven’t been able to do a thing with it.

  93. I would love to win this for a dear friend, who needs some serious help with her living room. (Sorry if you’re reading this, MSH!) She’s asked ME for help, but it would be so much better to bring in some pros!

  94. I could use some help with my master bedroom. Skylights and an off-center pointed ceiling are not helping with furniture placement and wall decor.

  95. I need living room or bedroom help. We’re moving into a new house and are pretty much starting from scratch and my other half is clueless so he needs some direction!

  96. PicK me!! Pick me!!! I need some serious help with my family room!!! The flat screen has dominated the room and it has me stumped!! :(. Help!!!

  97. Oh my! Our living room is bare! We’ve been looking for inspiration and could really use the help!

  98. Our new masterbedroom nees some styling love, we have some great individual pieces, but I’m having issues making it cohesive.

  99. My livingroom needs some help. We have no window coverings and old furniture that needs to be replaced.

  100. All the rooms need help!! But the living room is probably the hardest, since it is small, open to the kitchen, and needs to include an office space as well as living area.

  101. My family room is currently victim to my decorating ADD and has no theme (or should I say 10 themes!). I would be very thankful to be the winner of this wonderful prize. And I’m sure my poor husband would be even more thankful to see a room with some direction ;o)

  102. I actually hope that I could win this and gift it to my sister. :) They are having a baby and could use a definite direction for either their nursery or living room before the baby comes!

  103. We’re looking to buy another house. So, if I was lucky enough to win this contest, I’d use it for that house and it would probably be the guest bedroom. Great giveaway. Thanks!

  104. My family room has stumped me for 16 years. It’s the only room I am baffled by.

  105. My master bedroom needs the most help. It has a very small square footage and we have an equally small budget. :o)

  106. I would actually like to make over a new shop i’m planning to open soon!! and barring that from happening- i need help with our basement which i plan to convert to a playroom for my kids.

  107. We moved to a “new” old, 1898 home a year ago and are still trying to figure out so many spaces: open plan living, dining, kitchen; family room in lower level; and master bedroom…any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for a grand giveaway.

  108. Our family room needs help. We’ve had the same furniture for almost 20 years. Time for a change!

  109. Oh, we are getting ready to do some drywall work and I need help in designing our living room. I hope I win!

  111. Since we moved into our house in august 2010 we’ve done nothing to our master bed/suite. Same wallpaper, empty walls and old linens furniture. Would love a design guru to help!

  112. It would be great to have help designing a nursery for our new little one coming this spring!

  113. I really need help designing my living room with layout, furniture, colors, everything!

  114. Gosh, so many rooms in our house need some work, but the one I’d like to focus on first is our living room. Thanks!

  115. Our dining room is a completely wasted space in our home. It’s where we pile up stuff that we don’t know what to do with. It would be great to have a functioning space to use.

  116. As I’m newly married and am looking to furnish our new home starting from scratch, I would love to have an inspiration board for our living room!

  117. I have a house that we’re moving in to Nov 30th! My greatroom off of the kitchen (open concept) is a blank canvas and I’m starting to panic b/c I’m not sure where I want to start. Guidance would be a blessing at this point :)

  118. I would love to win full room mood board which includes a 5-7 page presentation from kelly + oliver.

    My fire place room needs major help from kelly + oliver.

    Thank you

  119. My master bedrom is 16 x 19 feet of boringness and desperately needs some design help. Thanks for the opportunity!

  120. My master bedroom needs the most help. I just recently got married and we are on a tight budget. Right now our bedroom looks BLAH and I need help in making it a retreat where we can both go and relax. Thanks for the opportunity.

  121. My bedroom needs some help! No matter what I do, it just doesn’t have that welcoming “relax in me” vibe!

  122. My Family Room is so in need of a makeover but we are having such a hard time choosing colors. It is totally the wrong shade of yellow now!

  123. I need this for my Master Bedroom! We have such a small space, I need help with creative design :)

  124. I would love a living room design board! My boyfriend and I are moving in together next month and we have completely different tastes. We definitely need some professional help, or at least a referee!

  125. Our Master Bedroom needs a ton of attention! We moved our stuff in, stuck it in the room and that’s been it… It’s the room hubs and I spend the most time in, and of course, the most neglected which is not cool! :)

  126. OH!!!! Please, please, please jumpstart my kitchen/eating area!! It is sooooo dull and I hate to even go in to cook! And if I do cook, I hate to clean it up!! Why bother?? LOL! PICK ME! PICK ME! or…a more deserving soul would be fine….I guess….Thank you!!!!

  127. My basement great room needs some help! We finished the space a few years ago, bought a few furniture pieces, but alas, it needs some help! A way to share the space with kids as well as a nice seating area by the fireplace…

  128. I would definitely need some help.I like so many things but hard time coordinating.
    Thank you for the give away.I would be lucky if picked.

  129. We have a great room that is roughly divided into living area, dining area and kitchen. We’re trying to figure out a plan for this space that coordinates the three areas. We’ve lived in this house for two years and now it is time we make it ‘ours’.

  130. We are renovating an old house so we need LOTS of help but the room I think could use it the most is the living room.

  131. My living room needs the most help. I moved in 8 months ago and between working and running after my toddler twins I have very little time/energy left for shopping and creativity. Things are even more challenging for me because we bought a craftsman with all dark wood trim and I am really at a loss as how to decorate. Seems like all I see is with homes with white trim so its difficult to get the right inspiration. I really hope you pick me and come to my rescue :-)

  132. Great giveaway! I desperately need help in my family room. It’s a great space with amazing potential, but I just can’t seem to pull it together.

  133. I would love some help with my home office as well as my family room! I have some furniture pieces now, but need help with all the great details that make rooms comfy, cozy and organized!

  134. Its hard to decide on one room since we moved in a little over a year ago. However, I think the biggest impact would be our study/living room since its on the main floor and we spent the most time there. Even my husband agrees its time to “complete” it.

  135. I would love to have some direction in my dining room. We never eat in there because it is so drab and the lighting is terrible. I would love your input!!!

  136. Several room, but my Family Room is in desperate need of style and an update. I’m lost when it comes to the best use of this space!

  137. I would love some help pulling my family room together! It’s a blank slate at the moment. Maybe this will be my lucky day!!! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous prize!

  138. I need a look and a feel that is not too “done”, lively, fun- even though I am aging!! My whole house is drab but the master bedroom is small and really UNDONE, so I would start there.

  139. Well…every room could use a bit of help, but my “front room” is the most in need to help. It has an identity crisis and we need an intervention “stat”! ;)

  140. Oh my! I’ve just made it in under the gun! LOL The room I desperately need help with is my sunroom/dining room. (Yep, this is just one room.) I would love to get some advice on this room. Thanks so much for the opportunity! And Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!

  141. My entry/sitting/living room are desperately in need of help! We have no clue how to make it functional but attractive.

  142. Its a toss up between my living room and master bedroom, but since my MB has burnt orange walls we should start there! ;)

  143. So I am guessing I missed the deadline for this one…I would want help with my formal sitting room. We just moved into our new house last Friday and I’ve never had a sitting room before!

  144. Man O’ Man.. My living room. We have high, vaulted ceilings. I have managed to spruce up the entry way, dining room, and have an idea for the staircase. I am lost with what to do about the living room.
