Prior to beginning work on Max's bedroom I decided it would be fun to "interview" him and collect his ideas for the room. I always do this with my clients, so why not him? Looking back I think it is very interesting to see how his input was incorporated into the room design! Here is some what he had to say:
Mom/Designer: "What are your favorite colors?"
Max/Client: "Black is my favorite color and it might be yellow in the future."
Mom/Designer: "Is there anything you don't like about your room in its current condition?"
Max/Client: "That the walls are plain."
Mom/Designer: "Okay. How do you like a room to look?"
Max/Client: "Hum, like...not plain. I like them designed."
Mom/Designer: "What do you like to do in your room?"
Max/Client: "Sleep."
Mom/Designer: "Yes, that makes sense. Is there anything else you like to do, or would like to be able to do in your room?"
Max/Client: "Read. Look at artwork. Make artwork."
Mom/Designer: "Is there anything we can bring into the room for these activities?"
Max/Client: "Chalkboard. C-H-A-....I don't know how to spell it."
Mom/Designer: "Is there anything else you would like to see added to the room?"
Max/Client: "Hum, yeah, a map on the wall, anywhere."
Mom/Designer: "Do you have a favorite interior design style?"
Max/Client: "Real."
While we were doing the interview I got a call, he wanted to get on the phone and this is what he said: "I'm doing this boring interview with my mom..."
Ha! He loves his bedroom, so I think even he would now agree the time spent talking to me about the design was worth it!
