A customer post now, featuring the rooms of two brothers called…you guessed it; Oliver and Max. Mother Debbie sent in lots of great photos a couple of weeks back and finally I’ve got around to posting them. First, gotta love this pic of the two boys…
Debbie says, “We were looking to decorate both bedrooms but felt they were too old for ‘typical’ older boys design and wanted something more funky and retro. When I showed the website, they both asked if their rooms could be decorated with the George and Billie ranges.”
Proving that our designs can span older age ranges, Debbie used our George design for Oliver’s room and Billie for Max’s. Hmmm, too many names; this could get confusing. The family are based in Upholland, Lancashire, a place I knew nothing about until just now.
As well as sending in lots of photos, Debbie also supplied masses of information on the thought process behind each room, why she went for what, and how she’s accessorized and personalised each space. Rather than paraphrase, I’ll let her explain…
“Oliver’s a popular, placid, sensitive 12-year-old, who has a unique style and doesn’t follow fashion; he sets his own! We used the brown wallpaper and green fabric for his room, with a ceiling light from Asda and bedside light from Ikea; a perfect match for O&L Green.”
“I bought Oliver a stool to go under his desk from Ikea and took the left over George fabric to a local upholsterer to get the stool covered. The very next day I went to TK Maxx and found the green cubed box, costing £39.99, the lid comes off and he keeps chargers for all his electrical bits in it.”
“Now, we just love the vibe in Max’s room. He is 9 and a cheeky little chappy with a huge personality. We feel that his room complements his personality. It’s bright, funky and fresh. Again his ceiling light is Asda, his lamp Ikea. Max has now inherited the stool originally purchased for Oliver, currently covered with the spare Billie fabric.”
“I wanted to personalise both boys rooms, so went on a mad mission to find a funky retro font, cut out their letters of their names, and then passed them to my sister who got one of her creative guys at work to spray mount and cut them out.” What a great idea, particularly if you have any left over wallpaper.
Thanks so much to Debbie, Oliver and Max for giving us a peek inside these rooms. Incidentally, as if determined to demonstrate the versatility of our designs, Debbie about to decorate her own bedroom using our Charlie range…hopefully photos to follow
