I’ve got to take a minute and ask for a big favor from you guys.
Meet MandyBeth (aka Mandy, but to me she will always be MandyBeth–MB for short) and her two precious twin boys Landon and Ben (aka my adopted nephews.)
MB and I have been internet friends for a long, long time. Last September we got to meet in real life for the first time, and she was even nicer in person than she is online.
Here we are together in our way-too-brief first meeting:
MB and I share a love of decorating our houses. Our styles are very different, but I think we can both appreciate the beauty in the others design ideas nonetheless. Secretly I am very envious of her breezy cottage style and wish I could pull it off around my house. There is another big difference between us, but we don’t let it keep us from being friends.
She loves squirrels.
I do not.
MB has entered to win a kitchen makeover from the fabulous Genevieve Gorder of the new HGTV show Dear Genevieve.
But she needs your help to win!
Here is why you should vote for her–and not just because she’s the sweetest person alive!
Just a few months after finishing a major headache of a kitchen renovation that got her between the pages of Cottage Living magazine (it was just a thumbnail photo, but STILL) they purchased a bigger home to accomodate their growing family. She left her beautiful kitchen behind, Cottage Living went belly up, and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth all around.
This was her pretty little kitchen that she gave up:
For this kitchen in her new home:
Bigger? Definitely.
Better? Potentially.
Prettier? Not so much.
Check out the carpeting that runs all the way up the kick plates. Besides being, well, GROSS, it makes the cabinets look like they are levitating in an unattractive Cris Angel sort of way. Not cool.
Landon and Ben are just learning to walk, which means they are still crawling all over this carpeting that has been around for too many years absorbing who knows what kind of spills. Yuck. And with two soon to be toddlers around to make more messes, she definitely needs something easier to clean!
So I am asking you to go to the site and rate her space as five stars so she can win this makeover. You don’t have to join the site to rate her space. No forms to fill out or emails to submit. Just go to the site and click on the 5 star ranking above the photos. Just two little clicks is all it takes!
Landon and Ben (and MB!) will love you forever.
Thanks guys!
I follow Mandy’s blog and think she is awesome. I rated her a five. Hope she wins!!
Love! I hope she wins!
Love love love!
I read her blog, too, love her! I voted and I really hope she wins the makeover. Anyone dealing with a carpeted kitchen ranks high on my list of those who deserve new kitchens!
OK Beth…you seriously rock!! Thanks so much…you are too sweet! 🙂
I rated her a 5….good luck Mandy Beth!!!! Can’t wait to see you on tv!!! 😉
