This week on
Home Heist, Colin and Justin transformed an unsightly suburban home where kids come first and style comes last. Two bedrooms – one for a boy and the other for a girl – get stylish, kid-friendly makeovers.
First Up: The Boy RoomBeforeTo be honest, this before photo kind of gives me the willies. I'm sure the homeowners' meant for the painted hand prints to be a fun DIY decor project for the kids
but the final result comes off looking like a scene straight out of a grizzly horror flick.
AfterThe bold red and orange colour combination mixed with the geometric pattern certainly makes for a dramatic makeover. If this was any space other than a kids' room I may not have liked it as much.
Next: The Girl Room
BeforeOne word describes this room: boring. From the pale pink walls to the shabby curtain that looks more like a bed sheet, this room definitely needed a Colin and Justin intervention.
AfterBy trading up pale pink for hot pink, Colin and Justin created a space that makes me wish I was 12 years old again. Funky wall stencils and a shag area rug complete this look.
The verdict: Both are fabulous. Maybe it’s favouritism but the girl in me loves the hot pink room.
Have your say. Which room do you like better?
