Background
Tell us about your home.
We bought an amazing 1928 character home in Hawke’s Bay. It was renovated to a certain degree when we purchased it. However, we are slowly adding our own style to it. We also have a front studio and a workshop at the back of our home which we have renovated into a space for our business, Your Decal Shop.
What was Lola’s room like before the makeover?
When we first moved in, the walls in Lola’s room were bright blue. It also had turquoise carpet so there was a lot happening! There were double doors which opened into another bedroom, which wasn’t really functional.
What were you hoping to achieve in the room?
We wanted to create a really pretty space for Lola, using her favourite colours. We thought a blank white canvas would work best, with colour added through a wall mural that we could create for her. Over time, we can change the artwork and decals around to transform the room again without having to repaint.
The makeover
What did you change in the room?
We knocked out the double doors to the adjoining room, insulated and plasterboarded, gib-stopped, then sanded and painted. We added new blinds and got rid of the old, dusty curtains which took up so much space. We also redid the light fixtures and added more modern lighting. Then we designed and printed the wall mural.
