A throng of AE's rush by as we near the long weekend, I can only see them move but not hear what they said. I was in a place where I was envisioning what and how we can decorate our big room to recreate Peter Pan for our annual Halloween decor competition - then everything fell into place. If I can picture it in my mind, then I can re-create it :)
I have always enjoyed decorating rooms, I think my mom's passion for decorating has rubbed off on me. Creating, decorating styling has always been my main passion, this year will not be any different.
Since we had a big U-shaped room full of office desks (DUH! offices should have that) it was kind of difficult to manage along with people's workload on top of decorating. After brainstorming with the team and filtering some basic ideas, we finally have the final concept: IMAGINE
Along with Wendy, John and Michael, get to travel with them as they go to Neverland!
When you enter through the door, you are invited to the room of the Darling's with quilted duvet covers, teddy bears and curtains overlooking a cityscape.
As you exit through the window, you are transported to the world of the unknown - black curtains with big stars it seems as if you are floating in the air surrounded by a gazillion stars and upon reaching the end, you arrive at Neverland. The first thing you see is Captain Hook in his big pirate ship floating in the water, to your right is Tiger Lily's camp and she invites you to sit and chat with her as Peter Pan duels with Captain Hook protecting the Darlings and the kids from Captain Hook who wants their candies! Peter Pan wins! The visit ends with a visit to Tinkerbell's place while she hangs out in the waterfall, sprinkling pixie dust to kids to transport them back to the real world.
Sounds amazing right? The work involved in recreating the space was also tremendous but I had so much fun decorating, work became second.
One of the first things we did was to put up a tree and change the red background to landscape to transform the whole place into a surreal world of fantasy and adventure.
Then everyone was assigned a task for the room, there were people assigned for costumes and decor. Everyone worked hard and it paid off. We won the second place :) Well worth the effort. Kudos to the other team that won - Alice in Wonderland (1st place) and Tangled (3rd place) and the remaining four teams who put in much effort into their decors as well.
On a side note, Captain Hook bagged third place as best villain! Yehey!
