November 29, 2012
by Gillian Luce

Homes.com has some exciting news to share! If you follow us on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook you may have already caught the scoop, but if not we’re happy to share again. We visited John & Sherry Petersik from Young House Love yesterday!

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! How can you enter? Simple, you just following the steps below for your chance to win (you can Tweet, leave a comment, etc)!

At Homes.com we are all about inspiring you to dream big when it comes to your home! Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or improve the space you’re in, we hope to inspire you to make a space that you can create memories. We’d like to thank John & Sherry for allowing us to host this give-a-way. They really are a terrific couple and have paved the way for do-it-yourself fanatics across the world. {Also, a special hello to their beautiful daughter Clara and feisty Chihuahua Burger!}

    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!

  33. Carrie says:

    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.

    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!
