It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.

Loloi
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

The next project we’re checking off our 2023 project list is the mudroom! This used to be the laundry room until we built out a much bigger, better laundry room upstairs. So, in the meantime, this space has been exclusively Cricket’s room. Cricket will still have a special space here, but we’re transforming this dingy […]

One of the top accounts winning with seems to have paid for likes. If you look at all their likes, it’s all foreign accounts and spam accounts. They also jumped into 4th place almost overnight. And their number of likes keep jumping insanely fast. I would hope this isn’t true and they somehow know someone from overseas or it’s just taken off on its own but just wanted to raise your attention to it bc it seems some of the other people have really rallied friends and family to help campaign for it.
It’s been interesting watching this process. Are you going to eliminate contestants that purchased likes? I feel bad for the contestants that have worked hard for likes.
I don’t know of anyone that has purchased likes.Do you have proof of this?
It looks like they deleted their post and account.
Can I enter as a gift for our daughter-in-law (and son too!) She is a rock star mom and wife and DIL. She has full command of the house and kiddos when our son is at work for several days, and then seamlessly shares parenting and life when he returns!!! I know that she’d really love to turn the playroom into a combo room, guest/playroom. And she really likes your style too. They are expecting baby #3 in November! So, if possible, I’d LOVE to surprise her with that????????
I debated entering this contest but I don’t feel comfortable changing my private Instagram (filled with mostly photos of my kids) to public in order to enter. I guess we all have our own ‘security systems’ and that is part of mine – sigh, it sounds like fun though! Congrats on hitting the 300,000 number!
Awe man, I missed the part (initially) where it says the winner is based on likes. Bummer for us with small Instagram accounts ????. Whoever wins is one lucky person!
Most of the top people have very small accounts and are rallying!
As someone who has followed you guys for a long time, I was so excited to potentially win a room design by you. Your new kitchen is what dreams are made of! I entered the contest and rallied people to like my post. I learned that I have way more people routing for me than I thought (not just in this contest). I don’t have a lot of likes but some of the top people have some “big bloggers and designers” rooting for them. I will never get the 20,000 likes as some but here’s hoping you enjoyed my video!
My daughter entered and I have watched the same thing. The top few accounts all have sat at the same numbers all week long because a big influencer shared their page and they got a big burst of likes. One even had someone with a million followers share and her video went in the lead overnight. It’s too bad for everyone else.
Try it!! That’s what we’re doing!!! Nowhere near influencer status haha. But everyone I know has been resharing. Not in top 5 yet but working for it!! (Wish it were top 10 ????). It’s not too late!
I’m bummed, I would love to enter but don’t have or use Instagram! ????. I would have loved my family room made over. 5 kiddos and husbands couches from premarriage= ugly and stained! Best of luck to the entries!
What a blessing for a person or family!
I do not have an Instagram could I use a family members account too enter. I would love to enter for my sons and daughter shared room!!
sure!
Congrats! You guys work really hard and this is such a generous way to celebrate! Been following for years and loved watching CLJ grow.
I absolutely love this opportunity… you all have huge hearts and that speaks loudly… I just wish that more opportunities happened for those of us who can not have a public profile. A new living room would be an amazing blessing for us. But my children’s safety and well-being comes first. So because I can’t make my profile public. I will cheer on the ones who can, and be so thankful for the blessing and opportunity that they get in this experience. So for the #CLJTreatment may everyone be blessed beyond measure, and I can’t wait to see those blessing others in this, be blessed 100 fold!
Hi! Just checking – does this include rented spaces also? Thanks! :)
Sure thing!
I would love for you guys to redesign my room. But I guess Denmark is a bit too far away ????
Such an awesome giveaway! My heart is breaking that you aren’t including Canada though… I will admire from (not very) afar.
Congrats!!!! Are you sure you don’t want to include Canada? Like a woman in the boonies who is tired after building a house and needs help decorating it?? No? Sigh…. ah well. Will continue to be inspired from afar!!! I am soooo excited to watch the entries this is the first hashtag I have followed!! LOL!
Continue being AWESOME!
Just to be clear. You are not physically doing the transformation, only providing the design and products for the family to use? Is that correct?
Correct! We aren’t insured to do work at just anybody’s house
I’m super excited about this even though my chances are zilch with so few IG followers. Can’t wait to see who wins (and I’ll still dream it’s me)!
My mother in law has the perfect room in her house for the CLJTreatment! She re-did her entire house about 10 years ago except for this one room that she just couldn’t figure out. It’s an odd shape but lined with french doors leading to the backyard so it has so much potential to be amazing! None of us can figure out the best layout for furniture or how to tie in the design with the rest of her house. I’ll have to talk to her this weekend and see if she would be on board for entering this contest (with my help of course!) She’s not the best with technology but if CLJ readers are looking for America’s sweetest mother in law, she could make for great content! :)
Can I make a separate account to apply for this? I keep my main account private, but would love to enter!
Sure
Well shoot! You just shot down the two rooms I’d love to change. I’ll just have to enjoy watching someone else getting the CLJ treatment.
On the other hand, this is just the kind of story I’m excited to follow so it’s still a “win” for me.
I was so hoping this would be the surprise announcement!! I have been so inspired by your kitchen makeover that my husband and I are thinking how we can tackle our own little kitchen, but I also hesitate thinking how awful our living room, which is adjacent, would look by comparison so this is a great opportunity. Since we moved in 4 years ago I’ve barely touched it design wise because it’s such a small space and I’ve been stumped about how to make it cozy but also functional. I could use a fresh set of eyes (or two!) and I’d so love to meet you both and learn from you. It’s incredible to me that after the scary and heartbreaking loss of your cabin, you’ve pushed forward with so much love and generosity. I want to start living like this in my own home and life. #dontwait
This is so fun! Ya’ll are SO generous!!! I can’t wait to submit our living room. It’s a good one ;)
Getting to work! You’ve inspired other rooms in my house and I can’t wait to follow along with this contest. Thanks for this opportunity!
Suddenly VERY nervous to actually speak on my stories since I normally just post sweet baby pictures for my 40 loyal followers. :)
Congratulations on this milestone! You guys deserve a celebration!
