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 Outdated, but cute.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?
hmm, i like hailey’s better, what can i say? im a go green person choosing that lovely wallpaper is an eggcellent idea, though elwin’s design is very relaxing, why dont they combine their design together?
A+++++++++++++++++++
I love both! I love yours Hailey but honestly, those couches kill me. I’m a girl, but I’m not girly, and it’s more likely for boys to get in trouble. And Elwin, same problem. I’m a personal fan of plain and comfy. Huzzah! If I had to chose I’d say Hailey’s But I don’t like this chosing thing.

Uh, what’s my line?
Yesterday was Hailey’s but now I’m going with Elwin’s.
Hailey
Hailey’s!!
I’m going to have to say Elwin’s design is better. I don’t know… Hailey’s furniture choices were not my cup of tea. Let’s just say that. Elwin’s is really bright. Hailey’s is kind of dull and the furniture clashes too much.
P.S. I won the Love Dino Contest and I didn’t even know! I just checked my email today LOL
Hailey’s is better even though I don’t particularly like the pink couches. I think boys would be reluctant to sitting on one of those couches! I think that Elwin needs to put more deco or a patterned walpaper in there, and make the top and bottom be the same amount of clutterness. -Scoobarificus***
Wow! I *LOVE* that both of you kept the counters to separate the office outer area from the inner area. For this room, I *LOVE* Hailey’s redesign. If you think the pink couches are not boy-friendly, then use the same style sofa in a different color, but I love the variety of colors, the lightness and airy-ness of the space, and the attention to comfort for the secretaries. Sorry, Elwin, but Hailey wins this one! All the best! MDIChickadee
@ MDIChickadee,
Totally agreed! ~ SugarComet***
Thanks, SugarComet!
Your welcome! ~ SugarComet***
Hailey’s! I like the way that it seems open!
This time, I like Elwin’s design a little better than Hailey’s, but I don’t understand all the cupboards! They don’t seem to serve much purpose. I think bookshelves would be nicer, and more appropriate.
