Glue & Glam the apartment - Episode 5 - The Fashion Room


Fashion Room
Working in fashion, it would be kind of embarrasing to get a low score on this one.

While Kishz was at the apartment the paint,
I went shopping for 2 hours finding shoes to decorate the room with - unfortunately I could not afford very nice shoes and ended up with some cheap vincci pairs. 

Coming back I was stuck in such a jam that when i arrived the big challenge was already starting - we were to switch partners!!!

Luckily I was teamed up with Jesper, from one of my favourite teams on the show, Brothers United.
Helpful he came up with cool ideas for the room and helped me finish up everything on time (without any sabotages, haha)














I was really worried before elimination, having a love-hate relationship with the crazy colourchoice we did. RED, PURPLE AND GREEN? I never gone that crazy with colours before, not even in graphic design. But we were being too safe with the previous room and were just taking more risks with this one! 

For the first time, we were not in the bottom nor the top - we were SAFE! So happy!

Glue & Glam the Apartment


Wellness Room Recap

The theme for episode 6 was Wellness room. We could decide what function we wanted the room to have ourselves.
We decided to do a gym instead of the study as we are both quite into excersizing (I wish) and staying healthy (besides on weekends)
We cut a wooden panel to try to create a water-like droplet in eco-friendly recycled wood, as the room was all about saving the world (somehow).






 Guestjudge Paula Melay




Our colour scheme was pastel green which I feel fit well in contrast with all the wooden furniture we used-. Take note of the eco-friendly bamboo panel we hung on the wall - did you know bamboo releases very little toxins in comparison to other wood types, ? It is also good for keeping the air in the room fresh and clean - just what you need for a good workout!

not that I am trying to justify our designs, but we really thought about the material we were going to use and how it would fit in well in the wellness-theme!

Judging
unfortunately, the judges were forced to lie on tv and in a nutshell they said they hated my room and that my frock looked better.

Ok fine, im lying. They hated the room. Regardless,
its functional, vibrant - maybe not the best choice of room for a gym, but we put our heart into it!


So, we were eliminated again. And we thought we were going, but luckily enough they kept us there for another round, THANK YOU!!!
