Hailey: Hey all! Hailey and Elwin here with the first of our redecorating challenge articles.
Elwin: That’s right, Hailey. All week we’ll be putting up our latest projects to see whose room designs Webkinz Newz readers like better.
Hailey: The first room we tackled was the Employment Office Break Room.
Elwin: Can you say seventies shabby? That’s what I thought when I first saw it. Ugh. The room was just such a jumble of mismatched furniture.
Hailey: Tabby told us that most of the furniture had come from secondhand stores, or from friends. She got it when she first opened the Employment Office, and she just hadn’t updated the room in years.
Elwin: Enter the Designer Elephants! Hailey and each took a stab at creating the new and improved break room. Here’s what we came up with:
Hailey’s Design:
I decided to create a serene, restful space for the employees. We’ve got a plush couch with a big screen TV, a dining area where they can eat lunch, a reading area for relaxing, and a top-of-the line kitchen. It’s functional and stylish. I’d like to see Elwin outdo this room!
Elwin’s Design:
Interesting that we both used bricks in our wall treatment! I guess that comes from being twins (or just having good taste). Although I like my sister’s design, I have to say – mine is far more interesting! The gold really makes the room pop, and the heavy wood balances the brightness perfectly. Adding windows opened the room up. The little accessories really make the room feel like home.
So what do you think readers? Which of the Designer Elephants created a better break room?
elwin’s is better
Hailey
Hailey’s room is definitely better… DEFINITELY!!!
I like Hailey’s better. I like the way the room flows. Too much contrast and gold for me in Elwin’s design. But I wish they had told us more about what their client wanted because in the end it’s about pleasing the client! Neither design had any storage space for employee’s items!
I like Hailey’s room better because Elwin’s one looks a little too crowded.
I actually think the original looks more like a real break room. Of the two designs, I like Hailey’s design better.
I like Hailey’s better. Elwin’s looks like a formal living room where you would entertain your grandparents, not a place to go to to relax. It also has a crowded look to it. Unfortunately, both of them forgot to put a SINK in the kitchen area!!! Do either of them ever cook?
I like Hailey’s room best :) but both are nice!
I like Hailey’s room better. The furniture is less crowded together, and there is room for more employees.
I like Elwin’s room design much better than Hailey’s. The pieces seem to match better.
