You voted that the Toadstool theme should be the next room theme to be released in Webkinz World. We’ve already showed you the first 4, and now here’s a look at 3 more concept drawings for furniture to be included in the theme:

Hailey:  “I love how vibrant the colors on this dresser look!”

Elwin: “And all of tiny flowers and mushrooms growing out of the top! It just feels so magical!”

Hailey: “Now THAT is one sturdy-looking wardrobe!”

Elwin: “You said it! What a wonderful combination of stone and wood! This wardrobe looks like it would keep your outfits safely tucked away!”

Hailey: “This dining table is delightful! I especially like the colorful floral centerpiece!”

Elwin: “It almost feels like a little doorway to a hidden world! This is great!”

Hailey here with our latest Bryn-mansion redesign! Today’s big challenge was the dining room. Ms. Bryn said she didn’t like ANYTHING about the old room, except the floor and the pillar in the corner. Beyond that, she told us to take everything out and start over. She wanted elegance and clean lines; the old dining room was definitely more about mismatched charm and color.

Elwin and I worked really hard to create a design that we thought she’d like – and we were successful (hooray!). She especially adored the piano and the wall chandelier. It was a big job, but I think the dining room is definitely elegant. What do you think, friends?

Dacey’s Living Room (Before)

Cue the new living room!

Ms. Bryn told us that she wanted something ‘chic, sophisticated and yet still comfortable.’  Hailey and I put our heads together and came up with this room.

The wallpaper is one of my all-time favorites; nothing says ‘chic’ like dark blue. The couches are plush and comfortable, while still fitting in with the sophisticated look of the room. The gold curtains are simply stunning, and the fireplace keeps the place toasty warm.

Ms. Bryn was thrilled with the change, and Hailey and I really liked it as well!

Dacey has just recently moved to Kinzville with her mom (they’ll be living here for part of the year) and they’ve invited Elwin and I to fix up their house. The house used to be owned by a family with a few kids, but it’s actually been empty for the past little while. When Dacey’s mom found out about it, she knew it would be the perfect place for her little family. BUT…it needed some major fixing up.

Dacey’s Bedroom (After)

The first room we did was Dacey’s. Before, it belonged to a teenaged frog. He was really into science and drafting, which is totally cool – but not Dacey’s cup of tea.

The first thing we did was add a huge window with a view of Dacey’s new neighborhood. Secondly, we decided to add hints of Dacey’s favorite color (pink, if you couldn’t guess!) all over the room. We needed an area for her to get dressed, an area for her to chill with friends, and an area for her bed.

After seeing the new room, Dacey had only one thing to say: “totally awesome!”

I think we were a success!

Elwin here with another gorgeous fall makeover! This time, we redesigned the town square. Hailey and I decided to really make everything look festive. We added food stalls, fun things to do, and some fantastic fall decorations. Everyone in Kinzville thought it looked absolutely perfect, and I have to agree!

What do you think, friends?

When Ms. Stripes came out and saw me, I guess the shock on my face was apparent. She invited me to come for a coffee in the staff room and explained that although she may sound tough, she has to be firm because she is new and the kids wouldn’t respect her if she wasn’t tough.

I asked Ms. Stripes if she would mind me being honest with her and she said of course not. Then I told her that I thought the kids would respect her if she treated them with respect. I said I thought that kids responded to fairness and honesty, and that if Ms. Stripes showed the kids the Ms. Stripes that Elwin and I got to know so well, the kids would be sure to respect her because she is kind and decent.

Ms. Stripes tried to explain to me that kids aren’t supposed to like their teacher and that if she is nice, they will misbehave and take advantage. Then I asked her if the kids in Miss Daisy’s class like her and how well do they behave? Ms. Stripes thought about it for a moment and then said that Miss Daisy’s kids love her AND they are the most well behaved class in the school.

I asked if Ms. Stripes thought that might have anything to do with the fact that Miss Daisy makes her lessons fun and enjoyable so that the kids actually WANT to be in her class and are engaged with learning. Ms. Stripes said that I had given her a lot to think about, but that she owed me a thank you because being so hard on the kids all the time was taking its toll on her. She felt like she wasn’t being herself.

We said goodbye then. I really hope that I got through to her. She is so nice – I wish the kids could see her as I do.

As soon as Elwin saw the tapestry he said he knew exactly the wallpaper to set it off to its best advantage. The Elegant Exposed Brick Walls picked up the colors in the artwork, but also has a crisp white that makes the tapestry pop. Elwin had a cool idea for an unusual but funky desk for Ms. Stripes that he thought would complement the tapestry too. He put together a couple of Downtown Kitchen Counters and for a seat used the Animal Print Ottoman. What a stunning combo and who could have thought of it but my stylish brother?

Against one wall we placed Ms. Stripes’ sewing station and punctuated it with an Oval Contour Cabinet on either side. Don’t they look cool with this wallpaper? And in another corner we popped an easel so Ms. Stripes can make art for her classroom. It all sits beautifully on the Creative Studio Flooring, one of our favorites.

So it looks like our work here is done, but I’m not so sure. I think there is still one little thing we still have to take care of.

Elwin and I have had a wonderful experience working with Ms. Stripes, but for some reason the kids at school are not getting the same positive vibes that we have been feeling. It makes me really curious about what is up with Ms. Stripes. How can she be one way with us and completely different at school with her students?

I’m not sure I’m ready to let this go. We’ve developed a pretty good relationship with Ms. Stripes and I think maybe we should try to get her to open up. I don’t usually like to interfere – especially in my clients’ private business – but I consider Ms. Stripes my friend now.  Maybe I can help.

Hailey here with some exciting news: Elwin and I have completed Ms. Stripes’ backyard! I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out; not only does it have an in-ground lap pool (great for exercise), but it’s also got a couple of big trees, a garden, a greenhouse, birdbath AND a patio set! This backyard is ready for anything, from a barbecue with friends to a quiet early morning swim. And what did Ms. Stripes say? “Why, it’s just perfect!”

Check it out!

Elwin here, taking a break from a HUGE job that Hailey and I are working on – the redecoration of Ms. Stripes’ house. Today we’ve moved on to her dining room. One thing Ms. Stripes told us that was kind of surprising is that she loves to host fancy family dinners – but her family doesn’t live close by. Maybe that’s why she’s a bit grouchy with the kids in her class?
Anyway, after some careful consideration, Hailey and I decided to keep the dining room simple and elegant. This is what we came up with:

I love the dark walls and floors, matched with the dark wood. My favorite part of this whole room would have to be the ottoman – talk about stylish! Ms. Stripes was extremely happy with our dining room makeover. What do you think, friends?

That is the kind of assignment my brother and I adore! We went with the Beach House Wallpaper and Campkinz Cabin flooring. You may think Cabin Flooring doesn’t sound very glam, but look how well it goes with the decadent bath we installed, the Internal Reflections Pond. That was our big focal point. Then we added some pieces from the Mega Modern theme. We knew that we had to finish off with a couple of real statement pieces and that is where the Wondrous Wall Chandeliers and the Hippo on a Half Shell painting came in. They gave us the WOW! factor we were looking for.

Ms. Stripes is thrilled with it! Elwin and I are hoping that maybe with such a fabulous place to start her day she might lighten up a bit on the kids at school. What is up with that anyway? I love Ms. Stripes! It just doesn’t jibe with what the kids are saying.
