The Shades Journeys: From homesteads to homesteads. Part 3. Week 13



This week me and Lithia has worked a lot with Zorbin house. Zorbin won the prize for the house that needed desperatly a makeover. I had such problems at the event last Sunday..I didn't want to say that he had the ugliest house. But instead I explained to the people at the event that we didn't feel that the house justified Zorbins amazing personality, so we wanted to do something about that. Is also very true! But another way to say a thing in a positive tone without hurting a persons feelings. Honesty can be presented in so many ways *laughs*

*smiles and looks down on her drawings and comments*

Before:

Here is the house Zorbin joined up with in our competition



- White is Zorbin's colour, the walls and the floor matches perfectly! Is a little house too, so we are sure Zorbin have thought of using a colour that gives an illusion that the room is bigger!
- Because of the little house Zorbin has chosen a minimalistic style, which Lithia and I found very clever! To make the room even bigger, Zorbin has placed a turtlehead alone on the wall that create some poison in the air, so we see things double!



The mainroom has a lot of items that we thought was placed randomly in a haste. But after putting some thoughts in it. It might be very well thought through. We just haven't found out yet what it is..
But we guess there much fun you could have with a drum, Beer-keg and a sculpture.
The house is "down to earth" is not a "show-off" house. And it shows how Zorbin is like a person too. Very nice and has his feet on the ground indeed.



The garden is lovely though. Is a lovely location. And the view are really nice. We recommend to see it!!

At our Kinevent Zorbin won the Makeover prize!!

Today Lithia and I visited Zorbin's house. And here is the result!

After:

We were a bit careful to remove everything from Zorbin's house. After all is items he liked to have there. And it is a part of Zorbin, so we didnt want to remove all the trophees.. It would looses it's personality. Only thing we returned to owner was the Beerkeg and the sculpture 
Outside we added some flower, a welcoming hobbit sculpture. And a table full of nice, fresh food made by Lithia



Inside Lithia and I worked hours to put up new walls and added some nice coulors to it.. We chosed green so it matched the turtle head (And camuflated it a bit)Green is a warm coulor though, and we thought it suited nicely to the red elements in the house.
We placed a bench with cushions, so Zorbin can relax infront of the fireplace especially after a hard working day in Ettenmoors.




The bedroom we placed a bed with a matching rug! And it seemd Zorbin liked the bed. On the walls we placed some candles and pictures. So the house will feels more like a home.



We know Zorbin like to read (well we werent sure, but we hoped he were, and we were right)
