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 Outdated, but cute.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 end up in the princpals office alot at school. Mainly because I do gymnastics and I’m OBSESSED with doing flips and front handsprings. ☺ The teachers apperently don’t like that. Yeah. Elwin, yours is to… green. Bright green isn’t a relaxing color. It’s to bright and would make me feel weird and dizzy. Too much of a bright color makes me feel dizzy! Hailey’s is a little weird looking but better than Elwin’s so I vote Hailey!
Hailey wins hands down on this one. Sorry Elwin but I don’t find that lime green very warm and welcoming. It’s more of a cool color to me, too bright. Nice try though….your effort gets an A+
I think in my opinion Hailey has won this one I just think Elwin’s is a little to green for my taste.
Don’t really like either but I guess I find Hailey’s design less obnoxious. Wish she had toned down the wall paper a bit. Oh and Elwin it is BLUE that is the most relaxing and calming color!
Hailey
I like Hailey better. It’s not all one color.
Again I vote for Hailey… I love the color green, it is my favorite color, but I don’t like the ways the greens clash in Elwin’s room… I think ti has a lot to do with the green tiles that were used, and the country couches just don’t do it for me… Hailey’s is much more inviting and welcoming…
Elwin’s! It was close!
I like Hailey’s room better. Elwin’s just seems confined in comparison – guess I like all the windows. I love green but all the green in Elwin’s room is just too much as well.
I LOVE Elwin’s Design, it makes you feel like you are in a forest, or you are in a relaxing S.P.A., so I think he gets my vote. But this is only my opinion! I like all three of them , even the before picture. But Elwin’s is my favorite!
