If you’re not familiar with Young House Love, please run {do not walk} over to their site and check out their amazing blog. We had the honor of meeting John & Sherry at the Haven Conference back in June and have kept in touch since. These two are DIY enthusiasts to the extreme. So much so, they were approached to write a book chock full, 243 to be exact, of do-it-yourself home improvement projects for the average Joe {or gal}. When we heard they were going on a book tour and Washington D.C. was on their list, we immediately RSVP’d to attend.

In honor of their new book and our admiration for this couple, we are hosting a give-a-way on our blog! You now have a chance to win this amazing, ultimate DIY resource to help transform your house into a home. In addition to the book, we are giving away a $50 gift card to help get you started!

I just love Sherry and John and don’t have their book yet. Maybe it will be under the Christmas tree for me though!?
A decorating project I’d like to finish next would be my house! Yes, I don’t even have pictures hung.
I’d love, love, love a signed copy of your book!!! I’ve wanted one since it first showed up on Amazon. Sadly, it hasn’t been in our budget.
I love love Young House Love! Hoping for lots of DIY inspiration from their book! My guest bedroom needs some real improvement!
Sherry & John are so wonderful, it’s be great to have their book AND $50 to emulate their awesome projects.
I think our next BIG project will be the bathroom, but we still have the entire basement to paint, too!
Removing furniture and personal photos from home, and clothing from closets made our home look spacious and inviting!
Remodel our kitchen and bathroom!
I would love a signed copy of their book since they didn’t make it close to the west coast!!
I would love to win. I am a little obsessed with them. Also I am needing to work on my bedroom so it doesn’t look like a barren hospital room!
For my next home project I am looking to paint a couple of old dressers we have on hand!
New Kitchen counters!
Love Young House Love! Thanks!
I love John and Sherry! Pick me!
My wife loves them!
Pick me! I need to do my bathroom!
I want to tile our kitchen backsplash
Next project, finish my photo wall!
Totally love YHL and all their great yet simple ideas.
I <3 YHL!
I love YHL and am dying for a copy of their book!
I would love to update my long hallway with some unique art or my kitchen backsplash!
Framing some pictures
Love love love Young House Love and I would love their book
I just bought my first house in June. The house is over 60 years old, so needless to say…we are in the midst of some SERIOUS construction and aesthetic updates
This book would be super helpful. Thank you!
We just bought our first home and move in in a few weeks…. everything needs updating but we’re excited to get started… just have to decide what to do first – windows & doors, bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room…..??? I love YHL for their awesome budget friendly projects!
Looking forward to the fabric for my dining room chairs to come in so I can upholster them!
I’d love a signed copy of the YHL book!
I need to re-do my whole basement familyroom!
Replacing the flooring in the downstairs!
I love YHL! I already have a copy of their book, but would love another signed one to give as a gift
re-doing the wall painting
I’d love to redo our master bathroom – the blue patterned wallpaper clashes with the dated bluish tile trim, and the floor is way past its prime.
My kitchen! It needs serious love!
I have about 20 pictures that need to have hardware attached and to be hung in my bedroom.
I’d really love a copy!
I can’t wait to repaint the living room. It’s a very boring shade of brown.
I would love this book!
I want to add a (badly needed) second bathroom!
Next, we are building built-in bookshelves around the fireplace! I am so ready to hide the ugly cable box and DVD player!
Thanks guys for the free signed book and gift card! Just in time for Christmas…as long as it doesn’t get lost over the Pacific. Thanks also John and Sherry for spreading the love. Can’t wait to get my hands on their book and start digging in to some DIYing!
