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 Room Before To 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.
After The 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
Before One 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.
After By 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?
