Hailey: Hailey and Elwin here! Well, thanks for all your feedback about our rooms yesterday. Elwin and I are very excited to see who will ultimately win our design-off!
Elwin: Definitely. Now today’s redesign was a bit of fun for both of us. We redid the Kinzville Academy’s office. The secretaries were very happy to see us and they didn’t even make us bring a note from home when we arrived late.
Hailey: Uh, Elwin? We’re not in school anymore.
Elwin: I know. But every time I go into the office, I always get nervous.
Hailey: You did spend a lot of time there when we were kids.
Elwin: Moving on! Here’s what the office used to look like:
Hailey: Honestly? I thought it was cute. Outdated, but cute. Ah, Elwin! I see you took your usual spot outside of Ms. Cowoline’s office.
Elwin: That was the exact same couch I used to sit on when I was a little guy.
Hailey: Which means it’s time to get rid of it! Here are our designs.
Hailey’s Design:
Hailey: Having a brother like Elwin has definitely opened my eyes to the way kids see the office. I wanted it to be WAY more welcoming and friendly. After all, it’s the princiPAL, right? I decided to take a page from Elwin’s book and play with color. I added a window wall treatment, bright and colorful counters and couches, a new floor, and functional and comfy desks and chairs for the secretaries. In fact, the only thing I didn’t change was the bulletin board. Why? Because it won’t come down. The caretaker tried every tool in his tool box, but it’s stuck there forever. So it stayed!
Elwin’s Design:
Elwin: I have to agree with Hailey. The office should be friendly! I decided to go decidedly green with my design. Why green? It’s a comforting, relaxing color. One of the easiest colors to live with, and probably good for a kid who’s waiting to see the principal. I love the light green counters, the different shades of green, and the comfy country-western couches. It’s all about mixing themes, but having the continuity of a color to tie it all together.
So what do you think, dear readers? Which room is best?
I like Hailey’s design this time!
Hailey. No question. I’ll admit, the boys probably wouldn’t be crazy about the pink couches. And green is a relaxing color. But the dragonfly dining tables as desks? They seem a little childish. If I worked there, I’d want a more professional environment. And I don’t like the benches combined with the side tables. It looks so… mismatched. I’d try some fresh glass dining tables and lime slice side tables. They might work better in the room. Hailey, your design looks better and is blended better together. That’s why I pick hers over Elwin’s.
Hailey’s is a lot better…Elwin’s is like completely green and then the ugly western couches just stand out too much.
i like haileys better
Hailey’s for sure. I normally would pick Elwin’s, but I didn’t like that it was all Wshop. I look at the rooms because I like seeing the estore items.(even though I don’t have estore)
I love Hailey’s redesign. She gets my vote hands down.
