Hailey and Elwin Make Over the Green Room at the Henrietta Hippo Theatre

Wow! What an honor! Elwin and I have been called upon to do some designs for the Webkinz World-renowned Henrietta Hippo Theatre. The Green Room is where performers wait before their cue to go onstage. The space needs to be a calm, relaxing place where actors, singers and musicians can put the final touches on their costumes and make-up and collect themselves before a big performance.

This is the Green Room now. With the dark walls and white floor it’s a got a bit too much contrast for my taste. And the Blooming Couch and Charm Forest Mirror are very busy. We want performers to be able to really relax and feel at home here.

Here is Elwin’s take on the room. He’s put those Chandeliers to good use again. The light green paint gives the space a much more relaxed feel. He replaced the small mirror with a Big City Window. How chic! He paired a couple of White Silk Sofas to create a relaxing seating area and made one corner for snacks, another corner for costume storage and he even put a sewing machine in for emergency alterations. A couple of plants add some much needed life to the space. I think that you could really concentrate on your upcoming performance in a room like this.

I agreed with Elwin that the room needed to calm down a bit so I chose the gentle coloring of the Green Striped Wallpaper. Like Elwin, I went with a wood flooring but I lightened mine up a little to go with the Green Leaf pieces that I used throughout the room.  In addition, I also used the White Silk Sofa and by the fridge I added an eating area with the Fresh Glass Dining Table. I put in lots of costume storage with the Pop Diva closet and added a make-up prep area in the corner.

I think that both Elwin and I have come up with options that will be more relaxing and instill confidence in performers while they wait to go on. What do you think?
